Bonus Episode: Joseph Green on Storytelling, Total Health, and Disrupting the Narrative

#86: Bryce bring us another bonus episode from the 2023 Mobilize Recovery Conference where he sat down with Joseph Green to talk about storytelling, activism, and what brought him to the conference. Joseph is a father, narrative disruptor and a believe in the power of storytelling, and he can be all these things because he is a person in long-term recovery.  Check out this episode as Joseph and Bryce dive into what it means to be a professional storyteller and Joseph's work advocating for voices in the community. They also discuss:

• Joseph's goal for attending the Mobilize Recovery Conference, and what he would like to see happen.
• The time Bryce heard Joseph's live poetry reading, and the lasting impact it left.
• What total health encompasses, and it's not just about making smart choices.
• Spoken word poetry, and why Joseph doesn't call himself a poet.
• The difference between sobriety and recovery, according to Joseph.
