Creating a Compelling Life Story

As usual me and Tiffanee covered a lot of ground in this episode. By a lot of ground, I mean ADHD driven banter with a caffeine chaser.
However, some poignant topics explored in our conversation include the reasons why your story matters. We love stories. We are connected to each other through song, film, novels, biographies and of course our favorite public speakers. But not all stories are the same. Many stories never get heard. If they do, they lack impact, because they lack significance.
We often confuse narratives, with stories. Narratives are merely an account of events. No one really cares about the events in our lives, or in many cases what we have gone through. Stories are different. Stories give us structure, insight and meaning. They empower us with resources and perspectives that make our lives better. They make us better. Stories are more about the audience than they are about the antagonist. A great story shouldn't leave your audience thinking about how great you are, but how great are capable of becoming. Compelling stories expand our mind, while broadening our possibilities. They allow us to project ourselves into the lives of the protagonists, experimenting with, and living vicariously through their trials and triumphs.
If your story is going to be impactful, it must be told with the intention of giving something valuable to the audience. Your story must be more about them, than you.
We talk about what makes a great story captivating vs. a story no one really cares about.
We also talk about what it takes to be exceptional at your craft vs. people who try to bullshit their way to the front of the line. And how you can tell.
Other topics in this episode include, why play is critical not only to our enjoyment, but to our growth, resilience, and development? Also important, (ok, maybe not that important) what’s the difference between proper footwear and the disturbingly ugly things some people walk around in? It will all make sense when you listen.
