Shawn - Having read, watched and listened to ALL the Story Grid stuff from the get-go, and the What It Takes column on Steve’s blog before that, I am really happy that you are bringing your deep, wide learning and phenomenally perspicacious insight to bear on topical matters in a public forum outside of the immediate SG platforms. I am so looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Great piece, Shawn. Really excited to read your work again and looking forward to this series unfolding.

This is powerful.

“stories enable the audience to discover the right choice/pathway that is most meaningful for them.“

You cant make good decisions if they are based on BS.

What a sweet image to start the New Year daydreaming about, said Saruman!

This is great, Shawn, Thanks!

Thanks for doing this, Shawn.

I am part of the Story Grid Guild (but cannot attend live online due to time difference generally).

I am glad your pushing your philosophy (because that's what it is) further. I am deep into the Heroic Journey 2.0 course and it is a brillant analysis grid.

I am looking for more here.

Thanks !
