Couch Stories Show # 10, in partnership with Ministry of Inspiration and the 2016 INSPIRE Festival
14th April 2016, Old St Johns 

Theme of the Night: Game-changers: Stories about Crossroads, Epiphanies and Choices'

Game-changers stories included a failed consommé by Bill James, a challenging Microsoft Convention that turned into a win for Gaye Bloomfield and how a childhood move from Berkeley to Salt Lake City informed the life of Dr Toshi Foster. All of the Game-changer stories were presented by very accomplished men and women who were invited to participate in the 2016 INSPIRE festival in Nelson. Most of the storytellers who were invited to participate are sharing their story with you.
