The Narrativ

The Narrativ

Over the course of a long career in technology marketing I’ve developed a deep appreciation of storytelling. Going deeper into why something matters. This podcast takes a slight twist, by exploring the roots of the storytellers themselves - conversations that explore the backgrounds and stories of interesting people, some of whom are dear friends. There is no guarantee of which direction we might go, but topics might include sports, pop culture, business, marketing, family, travel, food and maybe even current events.

    Eric Schneider, Visual Storyteller; Advising Executives on Business Strategy through Sketch Noting

    Excited to have my friend Eric Schneider join me for what I hope you’ll agree is a really interesting conversation. The Narrativ was created to bring interesting people to you who you may not have heard of (or from) before with the common thread of those people being great storytellers. Eric is a great storyteller, and uses interesting mediums to tell his stories, some of which won’t translate to an audio format. So, when you’re done listening, go check out Eric’s blog at   https://ericschneiderr.wordpress.com/   or his LinkedIn profile. Eric’s currently a consultant in enterprise software and advises executives in using data to bring their customer strategy to life.   He started his career in mechanical engineering, shifted to training and selling engineering software, and continued building his career by continual learning and following his interests.   That took him to eCommerce, salesforce automation, marketing technology, analytics, and more.   Along the way, Eric built an approach to sketching and writing which helps him think, understand problems, and engage others in solving them.   He lives in Atlanta with his wife, two sons, and dog.   For fun, he enjoys biking, reading, and cooking. If you want to gain 5 pounds by proxy, just go look at the cooking photos on Eric’s Instagram.   Eric is fascinating, I think you’ll enjoy meeting him.

  2. Paul Bocanegra, Sentenced to Life in Prison at 17-Years-Old. Reform Advocate; Restorative Practitioner

    Paul Bocanegra, Sentenced to Life in Prison at 17-Years-Old. Reform Advocate; Restorative Practitioner

    This episode is very different from any I’ve done to-date. We’ve met and talked to people who are great storytellers and who have remarkable personal backstories that have framed their strengths in storytelling. For this episode, we are meeting someone who has a very powerful, and at times difficult story. Paul Bocanegra was condemned to Life Without Parole at the age of 17. Paul served twenty-five and a half years, more than twelve of those in solitary confinement, before being paroled under Senate Bill 9 which gave youth with Life Without Parole sentences an opportunity to petition the court for a second sentencing hearing. Paul transitioned back into the community in September 2017 and discharged parole in 2021 obtaining agency in his life for the first time. Today, Paul is living his life to the fullest, advocating for more reforms that would ensure that the criminal justice system never deprives another youth of a fair and meaningful opportunity to work toward restoration. Paul is a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, a Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Commissioner for San Mateo County, a personal mentor for transitioning community members, and an expert witness in criminal justice cases involving youth. Paul has testified at the California State Capitol and helped to defeat legislation that threatened current reforms, has co-authored legislation in his county, and is a member of the Latin X Advisory Committee to Sen. Josh Becker. Paul co-founded ReEvolution to use his lens of lived experience to help ReEvolution provide meaningful support in prevention efforts, with an emphasis on youth, and person-centered reentry programs for all the transitioning community.  Paul is a motivator and educator and seeks to bring out the full potential in each life he touches. He is ReEvolutionizing transitional thinking and providing safe spaces for those thoughts to congregate and grow as a community within a community.
