Summary

Regardless of occupation or title, we all write. Whether it’s in short form on social media or long form as in email, proposals, blogs, articles, books, or academic journals- it’s something that unites all fields. That being said- what’s your perception of writing? Do you enjoy the craft or is it the bane of your existence? Were you raised to think of writing as a formal process reserved for academics and novelists or as an artistic endeavor? Whatever your history with the written word, our guest today will change your perspective of the practice. Not only do we discuss the neurological and biological underpinnings of language, we dive into how to develop your skill as an amatuer writer and why good writing doesn’t mean writing like Hemingway. Courtney Kelly is a writer and editor who partners with individuals and organizations to create brands, products, books, and other media that aim to effect real, prosocial change. Before starting her freelance business, Ethos Alchemy during the summer of 2020, she served as marketing director for Strength Ratio, a strength and conditioning and sport performance company, and as curriculum director for Strivven Media, an Asheville-based education technology company. She began her career as an English teacher, and writing education remains central to her work today. We also cover: Theory of mind and why we think we’re better than we are Using ethical manipulation and adaptation in communication - where do you draw the line? How to become a more efficient writer when it’s not your full time job Why saying what you’re NOT can be more powerful than what you ARE Why you should read more fiction and watch tv Connect with Courtney: Via her website: https://www.courtneykellywrites.com/ OUR LIVE APPRENTICESHIPS ARE BACK!

0:00.0	Two things drive me crazy above all else.
0:08.3	Poor communication and wasted time.
0:10.1	And I remember not that long ago when I started out on my own and not having a formal mentor
0:14.3	myself, I was always trying to find a group of people to get around so I could challenge
0:18.2	my own ideas, get some new ideas, and just have some different folks to relate to.
0:22.8	And I'll admit, like, as a guy,
0:25.0	the options were few and far between.
0:27.3	It felt like anytime I looked for a mastermind
0:29.7	or a group of people, it was one of two sides, right?
0:33.3	It was either kind of a raw, raw group
0:35.3	where every day you were just supposed to talk about
0:37.2	what you were grateful for and no practical strategies
0:39.9	came out of it, or it was this billionaire boys club
0:43.2	kind of thing, or it was this billionaire boys club kind of thing, where it was like 10 extra business, make money, drive Lamborghinis. None of those appealed to me. What I was looking
0:50.0	for is something where I could be around people who were respectful, new had a listen,
0:54.3	but would also call you out on your BS if they smelled it. And it didn't exist. So we
0:59.0	created our coalition program. This is our six-month program where you get direct mentoring from me and others from a wide variety of professions. We've had people in pharmaceuticals,
1:08.8	we've had people in coaching, we've had people in various leadership positions
1:13.2	throughout industries and we come together by monthly to have discussions
1:17.6	related to business or personal lives. Any aspect of your craft literally
1:22.8	anything goes. Age doesn't matter, gender doesn't matter, background
