What is storytelling?

It's a question without a simple answer, one that varies wildly based on style, medium, end personal experience. I've been a storyteller most of my life and now I make my living telling stories, both my own and those of other people. For me, storytelling is essential to the human experience. But, if I've learned anything, it's that we often find the truth by seeking outside ourselves.

I met Georgia Hertz years ago. We became good friends and slowly grew into a mentor/mentee relationship, the first one I've ever had as a writer. She's a brilliant poet, a historian, and an incredibly talented singer/songwriter. So I reached out to her to help me answer this question about the meaning of storytelling.
