      Clinton Atwater and Being Responsive
      Feb 5 2026
      Our guest today is Clinton Atwater, founder of Storytelling Connections and a storyteller who truly embodies the belief that stories are bridges between hearts and minds. Clinton's journey began around a Michigan campfire, where family stories sparked a lifelong passion for the oral tradition. But his path wasn't direct—he spent years as a Pharmacy Operations Manager before discovering his authentic voice through Toastmasters and eventually stepping into the storytelling world.What makes Clinton special isn't just his performances at festivals, schools, and libraries, but his dedication to empowering others. Through his storytelling community "Let Me Tell Ya!", he creates spaces where both seasoned storytellers and newcomers can share their voices. When COVID threatened live storytelling, he didn't hesitate—he brought the community online, proving that stories can connect us even across distance. This year, Clinton received the ORACLE Award from the National Storytelling Network, recognizing his tireless work building the Mid-Atlantic storytelling community.But at its heart, Clinton's work is about something deeper than entertainment—it's about the fundamental human need to be heard, understood, and connected.www.StorytellingConnections.comhttps://linqapp.com/clinton_atwater?r=linkhttps://www.facebook.com/storytelling.connectionshttps://www.instagram.com/storytelling.connections/
