- Ocio
I talk about things that make me happy! Books and movies (mainly horror, fantasy and sci-fi), wrestling, gaming, heavy metal and more. Plus, anything else that catches my interest. I keep it laid-back and prefer to focus on the positive side of things.

Jay shares the creative process behind the book, including how he and co-author Kyle Wiltshire were inspired by the concept of alternative historical events and their shared love for films and storytelling. They delve into the development of their characters, incorporating famous musicians such as Elvis Presley and Kurt Cobain.
Furthermore, Jay discusses the challenges and joys of co-writing, the legal considerations of using real public figures in fiction, and their hopes for expanding the universe they've created.

Dave shares his journey from a history teacher and strength and conditioning coach to discovering story work after a life-changing encounter with a spider bite. He explains story work as a process of becoming aware of and analyzing the stories we tell about ourselves and our past experiences, using it to transition from stress states to states of well-being.
