Hey folks, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dare to share. I'm Kevin Allison, and every Thursday we release these special episodes

where we look back at content from our earlier years.

Folks, learning to tell your stories can help you understand your life better.

I'm teaching another online storytelling workshop starting April 8th, 2026.

One student called the workshop Equal Parts Creative Playground and a powerful transformational experience.

You'll learn how to hold people's attention.

Organize your memories into compelling and entertaining sharing.

You'll find meaning where you might not have noticed it before.

You'll connect with wonderful people in a space where they're actually rooting for you.

So if you've been thinking, I have stories, but I don't know how to tell them,

email me at Kevin at Risk Dash Show.com to learn more.
