Episode 16: Everyone Has a Story
We talk about the following:
Folklore and storytelling as an important way to look at culture
Third-culture-kids; learning to relate to people different from you
Growing up outside of America, with no real idea what it means to be an ‘american’.
Travel at a young age and developing an expanded world view
Great Quotes: ” I was constantly put into situations where I had to find out people's stories, you know, to kind of get to know them better”
Lauren’s #1 Culture-Hack: Practice being a good listener—everyone has got a story.

About Our Host:
Daniella Mestyanek (Mest-aa-neck) Young is an author, TEDx speaker and Organizational Culture-Hacker with fascinating life story and important insights into culture, socialization and group behavior. Daniella is the President of DMY Enterprises and the co-founder of cavnessHR.
Daniella was born and raised a third-generation member of the infamous religious cult the Children of God, known for promoting religious prostitution, pedophilia for God, and the end of the world. At 15, she escaped that life, moving to America and eventually becoming a US ARMY Captain.
During her journey, she was college valedictorian, served as part of the first group of women to conduct deliberate ground combat operations with all-male troops, deployed twice to Afghanistan where she also competed in, and won, a marathon, received the Presidential Volunteer Service Medal from President Obama personally, married an Army helicopter pilot, is raising a trilingual little girl in Seattle, WA and is hard at work on her forthcoming memoir, Uncultured.
