Shared Stories – My Interview on The Mindful Creator

June 30, 2014 by Matt Leave a Comment

This week I’m trying something new, sharing the interview I did on the Mindful Creator podcast with Brett Henley. I really enjoyed being on show with Brett, who was on Story Signals episode 8 with me also. I think it’s a conversation worth listening to, and here’s what we cover.

What You’ll Learn

  • How all of the different pieces connected on our journeys and how are they serving the story we are currently telling
  • How we can explore living a more meaningful story through the work we do each day
  • How we can navigate the unwritten and uncertain parts with grace and humility.
  • Hero mindset vs. being the guide of our stories.
  • The larger narrative we’re forming through our experiences and our body of work isn’t always visible or clear until we’re right in the heart of it.
  • How to keep exploring when we don’t have all the answers
  • When we fear losing control of our stories and why we sometimes try to force structure to predict the outcomes.
