Somehow I'm not sure why I've become friends with four of the greatest bakers of our time.

Mari Rubin, Kathy Dumas, Apollonia Pulane and Dan Lieder can turn wheat and other grains into something extraordinary.

But before we can talk about wheat, we need to talk about taxes. Hey, it's Seth after this message from our sponsor.

Hi, it's Benedict you and 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.
