Rain Bennett doesn’t just tell health stories. As a two time Emmy-nominated filmmaker, public speaker, and writer , he inspires hope and action among people struggling with life’s toughest problems: disease, addiction, disability and pain. Through his video production company, Six Second Stories, he works with non-profits and purpose-driven companies to develop stories that promote better health outcomes and increase revenue. One of his biggest projects, Raise Up: The world is our Gym, takes us inside a global fitness movement for the world’s most underprivileged citizens, helping them create a road map to escape their desperate situations. 

This episode is a continuation of the conversation he and I had on his podcast, The Storytelling Lab, about how leaders can use stories to inform and inspire action and hope during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on challenges in health and care, we talk about the power of stories to help people heal, in particular as a way for front line health workers to deal with the stress and trauma of their everyday work. Rain shares a great example of how we can do more of this work, through the Health and Happiness storytelling series he hosts. As we wrap up the conversation, he also shares his hope for the future and a call to action to leaders for transparency and better communication through stories to help us all get through this crisis safely.
