What We Learned
1. Storytelling is a skill that is independent on writing.
Many people tend to associate storytelling with writing a book, but it can be found in anything you create such as art, movies, music, etc.
2. Every great hero is broken
We connect with the heroes that have flaws. It helps us emotionally connect with them and gives us a reason to cheer them on.
3. Villains are like heroes.
Villains are very similar to heroes. They both experience something that happened to them, but they response in different ways. They both want something, but go about achieving it in different ways.

What We Learned
1. Speaking starts with listening.
A good communicator starts by listening to their audience and paying attention to the questions that they are asking.
2. Learn from everyone.
Joy talked about the importance of being willing to listen to other communicators, but also being willing to learn from other people, including improv actors and comedians.
3. Write out your talk.
You won't know what you're trying to say unless you can speak it or write it. Take the time to write out your talk word for word.

As You Wish by Cary Elwes, Joe Layden, and Rob Reiner
What We Learned
1. Every professional does it differently.
This means that there is no right way to do something. The best thing you can do is figure out what works for you. Remain true to yourself and give it your best effort.
2. Wow is found in the experience.
Andrew tries to create a sense of wow when creating something for someone. He does this through focusing on the experience than the deliverable. Give them 10-15% more than what they are expecting.
3. Expand yourself creativity by expanding what you're learning.
The best way to grow yourself is to expand what you're taking in. Be open to new experiences, books, podcasts, etc. Be willing to take in more than you think because you can learn to distinguish what you does and doesn't apply to you.

The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson
What We Learned
1. Say more by saying less.
Most communicators fill their messages with many points, but truly effective communicators choose a single point and stick with it. This will make it far easier for your audience to remember what you are trying to say.
2. Find your voice.
You communicate your best when you find your voice. When you try to be someone else people can tell and you aren't as effective because people view you as inauthentic. Remember that your communication is an expression of who you are, but it doesn't define you.
3. Make it applicable
A truth that can't be experienced, isn't truth. If there isn't something for them to do, then why are you talking? Give them something to do.

For the City by Matt Carter and Darrin Patrick
What We Learned
1. Don't get overwhelmed by the problem.
Too often we think that because we can't do everything we get paralyzed and don't do anything. Quit focusing on trying to do everything and focus on trying to do something for the person in front of you.
2. Have a mentality of dignity and empowerment.
We often go into areas of poverty of need thinking we can help others. Instead we need it view it as a give and take relationship. The people we serve can impact us as much as we impact them. Look for ways to get them involved in what you're doing.
3. Use your hands, heart, and head.
We tend to focus on doing something with our hands and compassion is often what moves us into action, but we need to think about the best way we can help. The best way to help is often through training them to do things for themselves

What We Learned
1. The work you do will require sacrifice.
Hudson talked about giving up TV and even setting aside specific times in order to focus on his writing. In order to do great work it will mean giving up lesser things.
2. Honesty is a form of empathy
The more honest you are with your work, the more people connect with your work. Use your struggle to help tell stories that will help people heal their wounds. The more specific you can be, the better. You communicate empathy through your honesty.
3. Find the right team.
Hudson made connections with people all throughout his life who eventually he asked to work on his first feature length film. Always pay attention to the people around you. He also listened to their feedback which helped improve the film.
