Listening to John and Kevin’s podcast episode ‘On Story‘ got me really curious about how ‘tales’ get told of real-life events.
I’ve never been a good story teller – and piecing together chains of events that retain the same anticipation, angst or excitement from the original never came easy to me.

While we are discussing GARY HALBERT he wrote a series of letters called THE BORON LETTERS to his youngest son Bond.
This book is available on Amazon under $25.00 and if you’re a fan of the late great Gary Halbert you should definitely read this book! -

If you just can’t seem to write at a 5th grade level…
Some people just naturally write using plain English and simple words. For others, it is not so easy (should I say "simple"?). They just naturally use 50 cent words when they speak, and write using the same, sometimes convoluted, words and phrases. To the rescue come...
Good Story 🙂
One of the things I realized early on working with John Carlton is that good sales copy is structured story telling. It has a lot in common with technical writing.
Just like a story designed to make you laugh, or cry, or learn a step-by-step process, there are constructs and patterns that have proven to work in copy.

Oh nice.
I’d always assumed that good storytellers always learnt by intuition. (Unfortunately for me, my intuition told me to stop telling stories because I never hit the punch line).

That book looks super interesting – tha…Read more
