This changes the trajectory of the future — of how we experience life today, and how we share those lessons and stories for generations to come." StoryFile co-founder, Stephen Smith, added, "Who better to show the world how StoryFile Life works than, William Shatner, a man the world knows for stretching our imaginations about the future and life in this universe and beyond. A man who has always generously shared the highs and lows with us, and who has mastered the art of storytelling."&nbsp; Shatner isn't the first prominent figure to partner up with StoryFile.
