"Storytellers are people who are self-centered in a positive way." Matthew Dicks is an internationally bestselling author, podcaster, and a 59-time champion storyteller who teaches storytelling to individuals, companies, and universities. Hearing him say "My assumption is no one likes me, no one wants to listen to me, I have to find a really effective way to grab their attention and hold it at all times." made me realize how hard it is to tell a good story and how important it is.I recently finished reading his book *Someday Is Today*, where he shares his journey of finding meaning in life after an almost fatal car crash and being robbed at gunpoint. Matthew's insights on managing life and his passion for teaching, despite never leaving the 9 to 5 life, are truly inspiring.In the conversation, we talk about how Matthew's story and the fact of how important it is to be a better story teller no matter what we do and how every one of us should say YES a bit more to life and opportunities! Matt is also, using his own words, “never feel any stress”. His calm and soothing demeanor made this conversation a truly enjoyable experience.**🔗 CONNECT WITH MATTHEW:**📕 [Someday Is Today](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60965575-someday-is-today?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=ucbRS9WIZ0&rank=1)📙 [Storyworthy](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60965575-someday-is-today?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=ucbRS9WIZ0&rank=1)[X] https://x.com/MatthewDicks💻 https://matthewdicks.com/🎙 Podcast https://matthewdicks.com/podcasts/Chapters:0:00 Intro2:25 Two Truths and a Lie - Escape 9 to 5 Version4:48 Why Then? - How One Incident Changes Everything20:05 What Now? - Current Projects28:24 What’s Next? - More Shows?34:48 Lightning Round - Storytelling Holds the Key💌 Sign up to my free weekly email newsletter “The First 60 Days” - https://lydiaclinzi.substack.com/🎶Do you like the music?
