The Origin Story is a fortnightly podcast hosted by Paven Gill. The main goal of the show is going through the origin stories of people that fascinate or inspire me and putting their stories out in the world in order to show that everyone has dealt with pain and struggle no matter who they are. Understanding that pain and struggle is the thing that connects everyone and the legacy you leave is the only thing that matters. "Everybody is going to die how you get there is up to you"
