This episode features Javier Trejo, one of Campfire’s Fellows. Javier provides his answer to the Season 12 question, "How do you change?" A Fellow’s Campfire can best be described as TED without the data, The Moth but interactive, and a sermon but without the religion. You can learn more about Javier Trejo on the Campfire website, https://cmpfr.com/events/javier-trejo/.

The Campfire Fellows go through rigorous training and coaching provided by Campfire Faculty so they can share their wisdom through story for you. Our Fellows are the people next to you at stoplights or walking by on the street. These Fellows apply or are nominated by people like you, who know interesting and introspective people with some wisdom to share. The Fellows go through a unique process with our team to discover a wealth of wisdom inside themselves and then are trained on how to share the origin stories of their wisdom.
This episode was originally performed in June 2023, produced by Jeff Allen, and recorded live at Work & Leisure.
