  • How 'Save the Cat' Can Save Your Life—Stories, That Is. Episode 4

    Only the Gods know when your final scene will come. Until they yell ‘CUT!’—your story is still yours to write.Not every moment in life is a made-for-TV movie. Most of what happens is forgettable. But some moments define who we are.

    How do we recognize those moments while we're in them? How do we make sense of them in a way that gives our life meaning?

    In this episode of UnRambling, I explore how Hollywood’s storytelling beats—like Save the Cat and The Hero’s Journey—can help us reframe our own life stories. By understanding the beats of a great story, we can see the bigger picture, ask better questions, and shape our narrative in a way that matters—not just for ourselves, but for those who will hear it.

  • UnRambling: Looking for the Voice of UnRambling | Episode 3

    Have you ever realized that photographs only capture what moments look like, not what they mean?

    In this episode of UnRambling, I explore the evolution of this podcast beyond just finding my voice - it's about helping others preserve the meaning behind life's important moments.

    After 35 years as a professional photographer, I've realized there's more to a moment than meets the eye. Photos may claim to be worth a thousand words, but they don't even scratch the surface of the real words that need to be preserved.

    Join me as I walk through the forest with my three dogs and share how:

    • The Personal Life Record framework can help organize and preserve meaningful memories
    • Legacy storytelling changes when we document more than just images
    • My grandmother's 90th birthday film revealed the true power of capturing stories before it's too late

    CHALLENGE: After watching, find a meaningful photo from a few months ago and write down what the camera couldn't capture. What did you hope to never forget about that moment?
