The Most Fascinating Storytelling Expert Reveals Truths About Humanity


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of The One Percent Podcast. I had the pleasure of sitting down with human storyteller Eric Jeng. Eric has created hundreds of videos where he interviews people worldwide, asking incredibly thought-provoking questions. He says, "He explores the beauty of humanity with a touch of light." In this episode, we dive into diverse topics, such as navigating through uncomfortable conversations, learning to lean into transparency and vulnerability, the duality of the masculine and feminine, and, more importantly, what he has learned about humanity through the interviewer's lens.
