Day #10 of talking to myself or thinking out loud and final remarks on #Storyworthy:
If someone asked me if Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks is the most comprehensive book on storytelling, I’d say, absolutely not. (1/3)

Just finished ‘Why Nations Fail’ by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson.
I’m still hanging—so much to process. The book dives into why some nations thrive while others stay trapped.
If you’ve read it, what stuck with you the most?

Day 8 #Storyworthy part 7
Here’s a critical lesson from Storyworthy: A story isn’t just a memory.
Yes, a story starts with a memory—a 5-second moment of change or realisation. But memories are messy and unstructured. Stories, on the other hand, follow a framework. (1/6)

Day #6 Storyworthy part 6
What’s the most storyworthy thing that happened to you today?
There’s a whole process to identifying those moments daily, and I can tell you from experience—it’s hard. But if you stick with it, it’s totally worth it. (1/2)

Storyworthy the book! Has anyone else on the feed read it?
I would love to talk to someone who has. Get another perspective maybe!
Cheers!

The weekend starts now—ends when you run out of food in your pantry.
How long would that that be? A couple of days? A week? Do you even have an answer?
React if you want to hear how long my weekend would be.
Wishing you a safe and well-stocked weekend!

Day #5 #Storyworthy part 5
I don’t have any epic stories to tell. Does that sound familiar?
I haven’t raced across the desert, climbed Everest, or gone on a life-changing journey to Africa. The truth is, great stories often aren’t about epic adventures—(1/5)

#Storyworthy part 3.
Matthew Dicks teaches us that every great story boils down to a 5-second moment—the instant where everything changes.
Let me explain how I understand this idea by analysing the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. (1/5)

Day 4. #Storyworthy part 2.
Don’t think about an elephant!
And yet, here you are—imagining one. That’s the power of priming in storytelling.
When I tried to take you to my office on October 10, 2024, I was using this technique. (1/5)

October 10, 2024. I’m at my office desk. The next day, I have to give a keynote about CULT-URE in business management—a talk I’d spent three months scripting. And then, I ditched it completely.
Why? Because of #Storyworthy.

Day #3
Yesterday, I had a brief conversation with my wife about my draft. I’m lucky to have her guidance—she’s been in the publishing world for a while, and it shows.
This weekend, I’ll dive into the first rewrites and work on making the structure more coherent (wish me luck).

NOT a prepper, BUT…
but when breakfast and dinner are the same plate of cabbage and gravy-drenched mystery meat, it feels like training for apocalypse. Who needs survival skills when I’m already eating like the world’s over?
What’s on your plate today?

Day 2: Not a prepper, but… standing at the bench press feels like I crashed a party I wasn’t invited to. Everyone’s lifting PRs, and I’m over here doing math on how not to die. This time in my local gym. #NotAPrepper #staySAFE

Diary Day #1: This weekend, I traded ice plunges and rucking for museums and gift shop showdowns with my 6-year-old. Survival training? Try negotiating with a sugar-fueled kid about why we don’t need another soft toy. Different type of #Emergency training #StaySAFE

Talking about emergencies and family plans is one of those conversations we all avoid, like who’s actually responsible for taking out the trash.
The awkwardness is real, but if you’ve successfully had this talk, you might just be a legend. Share how you did it—the rest of us are taking notes.

Fast carbs get a bad rap, but in emergencies, they’re lifesavers. Candy bars, granola = quick energy + long shelf life.

The LA wildfires are devastating. I hope I’m wrong about risks growing—but what if I’m not? Simple prep, like a kit or plan, can help. How do you prepare? #WildfireSafety #EmergencyPreparedness

Ok! So what would be a meaningful idea to share as a first post?
I think I found it...
When I find myself in a really difficult situation this is where I summon a ton of strength and self confidence.
Im not crying... You are!
