In this episode, my wife and I read and react to 100 real comments from writers, filmmakers, founders, marketers, and storytellers who answered one simple question:

What makes a story stick with you long after it’s over?

Some talked about truth.
Some about emotion.
Some about restraint, specificity, silence, and timing.

Together, they reveal that great stories aren’t about being impressive...

They’re about being HUMAN.

If you care about storytelling in any form (film, podcasts, writing, branding, or creative work) this is for you.

Some of my favorite quotes from this episode:
- "Don't tell your story, let the audience FEEL it vividly"
- "Creating stories is the closest thing to being like God"
- "People think stories are shaped by people, in fact, it's the other way around"
- "A great story makes you take one step closer to your horizon (whatever that may be)."
- "I think humans crave stories because we are addicted to transformation."
- "Feeling fundamentally understood and seen by someone who doesn't even know you exist"

Leave in the comments, what makes a good story to you??
