    Stories on a Train, Episode 3, Not Telling

    Even though everyone has a story to tell, sometimes, they don't want to share it in person. Such is the story of one gentleman's train trip, I called him Omar because he didn't want me to use his real name. He kept to himself most of the time on the extended train trip, and he overheard me ask another person to speak on the podcast. I was happy to explain the whole podcast idea, but it is a bit difficult to ask strangers to tell their stories. Yet, it is worth the effort because I challenge my insecurities and learn about people at the same time. He agreed to tell me his story, then let me narrate it for the podcast. I am so thankful for his willingness to share his story. Thank you again, Omar.
