About Your Hosts
David Barish has been telling stories ever since his parents came home one night and asked, "What happened here?" Since that time he has moved to non-fiction and has been telling personal stories on stages, bars and bookstores around the city and suburbs of Chicago. His day gig has him listening to stories when he represents injured people with workers' compensation and Social Security Disability claims. David has been a frequent lecturer on workers' compensation topics over the years and has moderated many programs for the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education. When not telling, writing, lecturing, moderating or representing he can be found on a disc golf course,on a bicycle, playing his harmonica or futilely resisting picking up the last slice of pizza.
Melissa Perrin is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in the Chicago area working with individuals, giving consultation to businesses and other organizations. Her philosophy includes the knowledge that there is power in the stories we tell about ourselves; how we define who we are. Altering that story can be a powerful tool in living a full life. An ardent teacher, Melissa illustrates through stories and narration while giving seminars, at retreats for clinicians and to the general public. Melissa is a native of the North Shore. But, she secretly wishes she had been born and raised in Phoenix Arizona so that she could introduce herself as a Native Phoenician. [She just likes how that sounds.]
