By now, like bathrooms in hot water, a library has got up as standard equipment for a fine house.

That's Seneca, the great stoic philosopher writing 2,000 years ago.

Hey, it's Seth, and this is a Kimbo. We'll be back in a second after this message from our sponsor.

Hi, it's been here.

I'm here to talk to you about how you can become a better storyteller.

Storytelling is not an art reserved for the chosen few. It's a skill that you can learn.

Just like the students who've taken part

in the story skills workshop have done.

Actually, I had a story to tell that was really important for me, but also was going to be very, very important for people in the future.

It's been absolutely life changing for me to see stories everywhere and to see my own stories.

I was surprised that the learning was as much in the giving as in the receiving.

We got to not only learn about storytelling,

we actually got to practice using stories

in our everyday life.

The biggest shift I've found is now my own stories and the stories that I really want to tell are bubbling to the surface. I can't stop seeing them.

Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced storyteller, this is a place where your stories will get better in a very short time, guaranteed.

If you're ready to become a better storyteller, I hope you'll join us.

And second, of course, is that the library near me and the one near you are probably closed.
