Episode Synopsis

Send us a text"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the art of storytelling and how sharing your journey can create a lasting impact. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re diving into one of the most powerful tools a writer can use to deepen their storytelling: metaphors and symbolism.Some of the most memorable stories—whether in books, speeches, or even personal memoirs—stick with us because they go beyond just telling us what happened. They make us feel something on a deeper level. And often, that’s because of metaphors and symbols.A river that represents change. A childhood home that symbolizes safety. A broken clock that reflects lost time. These aren’t just objects or images—they carry meaning beyond their literal presence. They help readers connect with your story in ways that are both personal and universal.TheLegacyProject.mePurchase copies of The Legacy Project book at Amazon.comYou can also get a copy of Service Before Self my autobiography at Amazon.com  "Start writing.
