I’ve read just about everyone of Malcolm Gladwell’s books. And every time, I have been wrapped up the stories he tells. Especially when he retells them from a different perspective. So when he came out with the Podcast Revisiontist History, adding that to my podcast playlist was a no brainer. I haven’t been disappointed. I take that back. The only time I have been disappointed is when I had to wait between seasons.

Gladwell’s podcast, like his books, finds obscure, little know stories. Then he shows us how those stories have an bigger impact on the world than we would have thought. What captivates my attention is not just the stories, but how he tells these stories and keeps the listener on the hook. There is this combination of interviews, his thoughts, and research that brings things to life.

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
