On this episode of Our American Stories, Before Randall Wallace wrote Braveheart, he was a son taking notes from the way his father lived. His dad never chased the spotlight, but he modeled the kind of character Wallace would later write into heroes on the screen. Looking back, Wallace traces how his father’s example gave him not only a sense of direction, but also the values that anchored his career as a storyteller. Here, he shares how one man’s life at home became the spark behind some of the most powerful stories to come out of Hollywood.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
