About Me
When I tell business leaders I’m a storyteller, they assume I mean around a campfire. But storytelling isn’t fluff. It’s a success tool. It’s how leaders inspire, how brands grow, and how people remember you. I’ve used it to drive results for Fortune 100 brands. And the good news is anyone can learn do it better.
I didn’t start out as a good storyteller. My first documentary nearly broke me - I spent years trying to wrestle 800 hours of footage into 90 minutes. Most of the time I thought I just wasn’t “creative enough.” Eventually, I got some key advice from trusted friends, and things clicked. That film went on to win major awards and even land on Netflix. But if I’d learned those fundamentals sooner, I would’ve saved myself years of stress, wasted money, and sleepless nights.
Since then, I’ve told stories under pressure for some of the biggest brands and agencies in the world—Intel, Honda, Ford, and more (see samples of my work here). I know firsthand how to adapt stories to any format: a two-hour film, a two-minute pitch, or an All Hands meeting.
And now I teach what I’ve learned. Over 20,000 students - from college classrooms to B2B boardrooms to executive retreats - have discovered the unfair advantage storytelling provides. My favorite moment is always the same: when someone who swore they weren’t a storyteller realizes they can actually command a room.
And once you learn the storytelling language, achieving your goals gets a whole lot easier.
