I totally agree with your takeaway. It’s nice in some ways because I enjoy being real without having to filter for the algo or formal lessons. But for a lot of people the off the cuff storytelling is pretty challenging, partially I think because of what you highlighted. People are not necessarily trained to talk about themselves and what’s happening in their lives.

Yeah and having talked to so many people including pretty successful entprenreuers, I realized many people don't see things in their lives as story worthy. THat's really interesting too

I agree you with that storytelling is hard! But also makes each of us unique, I'm glad you've come full circle and figured out your next step kevon! Lately I've gone back to reading kor fiction and less non-fiction, it's been a refreshing change

I think it's an ebb and flow, there are seasons of intensity and then there should also be seasons fo slowness and reflection. At least that's how I think about it

Can AI help weed those stories out? I’ve been experimenting with having AI find patterns and storylines within my existing storyline.

I strongly believe so! After all, there must be an "user experience" that can make it easy for us to capture and create those stories. I'm thinking more about this lately! Might create something simple to test this out!

Awesome write up bro. I've added that book to my queue now, excited to read it! You've nailed it though; stories are what I'm here for. Real, raw shit that just hits hard. I'm all about that. I talk about the importance of stories in my copywriting and marketing efforts. People don't buy because of features, they buy because of how it makes them feel.
