Shannon Cason has shared his stories all over the country on The Moth, Snap Judgment, and other popular storytelling platforms. Here, Shannon shares some of his powerful stories from his life before, during, and after the Process. He speaks eloquently and vulnerably of both joy and pain and growing up in Detroit.

We are also fortunate that Shannon’s wife, Cindy, joined Drew to tell us a bit about her experience at the Process and how her work there has impacted her life, her parenting, and her relationship with Shannon.

Shannon hosts three podcasts of his own – Homemade Stories, In Good Co. Detroit, and The Trouble. He is the chief educator for the Brutally Honest Storytelling workshop series. Shannon is originally from Detroit. Find him at shannoncason.com.
