Road Trip 1 – Autumn Updates

Greetings StoryOsopher’s!

With the sudden impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, we have been adjusting to ensure we can continue producing StoryOsophy podcast episodes. The good news is, though we took a hiatus from recording, we have been hard at work getting version 1 of our Story Blūprint software ready for launch.

To keep in touch with you, we wanted to release the first episode in a new series we’re simply titling “Road Trip.” Since Adam and I are in different locations, we log many hours of conversations via mobile device, so, why not create a massive conference call with all the StoryOsopher’s out there.

Enjoy the first episode of Road Trip, and rest assured, we are working on recording new episodes for StoryOsophy as we speak.

Thank you again for your loyal support, it truly means the world to Adam and I.

69: Climax 2 – Breakthrough – Crossing the Fifth Threshold (Movement 5)

A quick apology to storyosophers. We ran into a major technical issue with our platform so this episode is a bit late to your ears. We do our best to release our episodes every week, but sometimes technology gets in the way.

What pivotal revelation does your Hero discover? How does this “A-ha” moment reflected within previous events in your story?
