Anese Cavanaugh, guest on episode #104 of The Storytellers Network, didn’t consider herself a storyteller. She thought that had to mean following a specific story structure, maybe creating a hero’s journey each time and coming up with stories.

In talking with Dan, listening to episodes and looking over the show prep for their interview, Anese realized that she’s been telling stories her entire professional life. She used stories in her first book, Contagious Culture. And she uses them in her most recent release, Contagious You.

Once she came to terms with how much of a storyteller she was, she decided she wanted to be more intentional.

So now Anese and Dan are starting a 21-day story gathering “writing challenge.”
