About STORY EXTREME
Our Mission
Story Extreme believes in the power of true stories told live to impact both audiences and tellers alike, bringing true connection and understanding to diverse groups of people in a way that nothing else can. We’re dedicated to creating opportunities for these stories to be told and heard; and to teaching individuals, groups, and companies to share their own stories in memorable, compelling ways.
