Dream Chasers Podcast - Episode 6 - Bruce Story-Camp

Bruce Story-Camp is a Pacific Northwest native who has found himself hiding out in Pittsburgh for nearly decade. Formerly an elementary teacher, he is now a continuing educator in accessible technology for the blind. He has also helped his wife run their soap business, Pip & Lola’s, since they started in Seattle, WA. Admittedly, Bruce calls himself a hack in most things. Apart from education, he has spent most of his life being a singer, an actor, and the primary cook in his family. Not formally trained in anything (except anthropology and education), he is a big believer in just going out and figuring out how to do the things that you want to do. Just have fun if it’s supposed to be fun, and try not to blow yourself up if it’s home improvement. Thankfully the house has never burned down or flooded, and now he has a few more skills to use later. Bruce has been with his fantastic wife, Samantha (quite possibly the very same host of this podcast) for nearly 14 years. He considers himself quite lucky to be able to be her strongest supporter and cheerleader as she continues her quest to follow the path of Mark Ruffalo (minus the green body paint and CGI).

Dreams take on many forms. As a society, we often focus solely on the results of goal-setting an dream chasing and not the journey itself. Because of this, many folks are shy about talking about their Big Fat Dreams until they achieve them. BUT what if we simply celebrate the journey TOWARDS the dream? The journey is often overlooked but can truly be the life-changing event... even more so that the realized dream. In each episode, we will discuss a new dream, an old dream, a realized dream, or perhaps a dream that didn't turn out the way we expected. Harlem by Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
