A must listen and a must read.

Entertaining, but so much more. After each story there’s a breakdown of what worked and what could be improved. I just finished his book Storyworthy, a how-to on the telling a good story. Read it and you’ll never tell a boring story again.

Love it!

I am obsessed with this podcast. I listen to several a week. I am also doing Homework for Life.

The perfect tool for a novice storyteller - and pretty great for everyone else too

My 90-year old father tells a story beautifully. I’ve long admired this gift yet felt my own abilities in this area were greatly lacking. Now I have a very practical handbook to help me grown and learn at my own pace. Thank you Matt and Elysha for this terrific podcast and Matt, for your wonderful Storyworthy book!!!
PS, there is a fabulous ripple effect going on in my world from your input!
