The Story Box

More than twenty years ago, the world was introduced to The Freedom Writers and teacher Erin Gruwell. Their stories, featured in the #1 New York Times bestseller THE FREEDOM WRITERS DIARY, captured the hearts of readers everywhere and later became the major motion picture, Freedom Writers, starring Hilary Swank. In 1994, what began in Room 203 with a first-time teacher and 150 “unteachable” high-schoolers, would go on to build a lifelong community of students and educators working together, driven by the purpose of innovative learning. In DEAR FREEDOM WRITER: Stories of Hardship and Hope from the Next Generation, their legacy continues as readers are introduced to a new league of Freedom Writers—fifty students from around the globe—sharing deeply personal and powerful stories in letters addressed to the original Freedom Writers. The originals answer each letter with a message of compassion, understanding, and profound advice as someone of similar plight, but who has come out on the other side.

Kyle Scheele is a motivational author, speaker, and artist who has challenged tens of thousands of students across the nation to build a better world. When he’s not on a plane or a stage, Kyle is at home in Springfield, Missouri, where he lives with his wife and four kids and builds weird things out of cardboard.An inspiring speaker and artist asked 20,000 people around the world to share the regrets they wanted him to burn in a mock Viking ship. This is the story of what he learned about letting go of the pain of the past and embracing the future with hope.Turning 30, artist and speaker Kyle Scheele wanted to do something unusual to mark this milestone. Instead of a birthday bash, he decided to hold a funeral to memorialize the decade of his life that was ending. Building a 16-foot Viking ship out of cardboard, he invited friends to help him set it on fire—a symbolic farewell to his 20s and all the grief, regret, and mistakes that accompanied those years. When video of his Viking funeral went viral, it encouraged many others to let go of past hurts as well. Moved by the response he received, Kyle planned a second funeral (this time with a 30-foot cardboard Viking ship) and asked people to share the things they carried—the bad choices, disappointments, heartaches, and negative thinking that they wanted to lay to rest. He received more than 20,000 responses from around the world—stories both heartbreaking and hilarious, painful and inspiring. How To Host A Viking Funeral Book Here: Amazon US Amazon AUSPre-order my new book 'The Path of an Eagle: How To Overcome & Lead After Being Knocked Down'.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.

Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling- the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents.

Herman Pontzer is an Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University and Associate Research Professor of Global Health at the Duke Global Health Institute. He is an internationally recognized researcher in human energetics and evolution. Over two decades of research in the field and laboratory, Dr. Pontzer has conducted pathbreaking studies across a range of settings, including fieldwork with Hadza hunter-gatherers in northern Tanzania, fieldwork on chimpanzee ecology in the rainforests of Uganda, and metabolic measurements of great apes in zoos and sanctuaries around the globe. In our conversation today and in his new book, Burn: The Misunderstood Science of Metabolism, Herman reveals his findings that despite the fact that Hadza men and women get between five and ten times more physical activity every day than most women in the USA or Europe, their total energy expenditure – the number of calories they burn – is the same. DNA and body type. Exercise does not increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day for men and 2,400 calories for women, no matter our activity level. In fact, our metabolism – the way our body burns energy – affects every aspect of our biology from our pace of growth, reproduction, and aging to our weight and health. If we burn more energy in one area, our bodies will adjust by spending less energy in another. But all this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t exercise. Far from it. Herman explains why movement is essential for humans.Herman Pontzer on Twitter Pre-order my new book 'The Path of an Eagle: How To Overcome & Lead After Being Knocked Down'.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.

Dr. Limor Goren is the founder of kyoord. She is a cancer researcher with a PhD in Molecular Biology. Her research centers on one of the most important anti-inflammatory molecules found in medicinal olive oil called Oleocanthal. Dr. Goren discovered one of the mechanisms by which Oleocanthal is toxic to cancer and showed that olive oils that are rich in oleocanthal are an effective strategy to kill various types of cancer cells.Dr. Goren started kyoord after she received numerous requests from friends and family for the medicinal olive oil she used in her research, and realized it was not easily accessible in the US. She searched the world for the best high-phenolic olive oil and ultimately came across a small family-owned farm and mill in Corfu Greece, which had just won an award for having the highest concentration of oleocanthal ever discovered at that time. From here, kyoord was born and Dr. Goren’s mission to advocate for the health benefits of olive oil took hold. It is her goal to spread awareness about this holistic approach to health and to make high-phenolic olive oil accessible to consumers.MaryRuth Organics Supplements get 15% off by using code JAY15 at checkout follow this linkFollow The Story Box on Social Media► INSTAGRAM ► TWITTER  ► FACEBOOK ► WEBSITE  SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.

A man of character and integrity. He's an extremely talented individual both on and off the court. His story is great!Jonathan rose to a different kind of fame when he chose not to kneel during the national anthem for Black Lives Matter. Instead, Jonathan stood tall because he felt like wearing a T-shirt and kneeling does not go hand in hand with saving black lives. This caused a great deal of backlash from the media, however, Jonathan has remained true to his beliefs. With all that he does, Jonathan does his best to bring glory to God.In recent times Jonathan made the news again for choosing not to get vaccinated.

An accomplished singer, songwriter, Grammy-nominated, poet & producer, Mike Posner knows what it’s like to be rich and famous.He also knows what it’s like to be forgotten. To grieve. To grow. To embrace that which is most important. And ultimately express his truth through art.This is the story of a remarkable talent’s attempt to live an artist’s life — the struggles faced and lessons learned along his most mercurial path.In 2010, while still an undergraduate at Duke, the Detroit native’s career exploded with the release of his debut song Cooler Than Me. The irresistible pop song topped charts worldwide, selling more than two million copies and launching him into the stratosphere almost overnight.But fame is fleeting. Unable to immediately top his debut, Mike’s solo career soon faltered. Turning to writing, Mike spent the next several years behind the curtain churning out hit songs for everyone from Justin Bieber (‘Boyfriend’) and Maroon 5 (‘Sugar’) to Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Nick Jonas, and Avicii.Then, in 2016, his career as a solo artist once again blossomed. A remix of his song ‘I Took A Pill In Ibiza’ unexpectedly surfaced as an international smash on the electronic dance scene, landing him a Grammy nomination for Best Song that year.Connect with Mike here: Instagram Follow The Story Box on Social Media► INSTAGRAM ► TWITTER  ► FACEBOOK ► WEBSITE  SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! ► Apple Podcast ► Spotify WATCH HERE:► YouTube  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thestorybox.
