Matthew Dicks is the author of ‘Storyworthy’ and 50-time Moth Storyslam champion and 6-time grand champion. 

He wears many hats, all of them in education. A teacher, an author, a performer and a writer. Matthew Dicks book, ‘Storyworthy‘ had an emotional effect on me and furthermore, it was a significant inspiration to producing more work in public. The writing, the podcast, the youtube. Even though Storyworthy is not directly a motivating book, it nonetheless had this effect on me.

From this podcast, you should expect to hear the following…

- The beautiful consequences of becoming a better storyteller.
- How this work will help you be a better family man.
- An original story read by Matthew Dicks.
- The key ingredients for telling great stories.
- I finish reading a story of my own inspired by Matthew’s book.
- Why Jurassic Park isn’t about dinosaurs.
