Storyliving Live a remarkable life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. Hemingway says “Writing is easy. All you have to do is sit at the typewriter and bleed.” Understanding this statement is the key to connecting with your audience. If you feel like you are disconnected from your audience currently, it’s likely because your first step when creating is starting with your audience in mind. I don’t blame you. This is what taught in the marketing space. You’ve been told to identify...

Storyliving Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. Joe Dispenza says to, “Remember your future.” For the last six weeks I’ve been doing just that. I will sit outside and just stare out onto the world. No phone. No music. No podcast. Collapsing my timeline and taking deep breaths into the future that I want for myself. I sit with the business I envision and becoming universally known for this Storyliving concept in which you pursue your bold life and tell the...

Storyliving Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. If you just can’t seem to be consistent on social media here’s the advice I’ve never heard anyone give. This will literally work for anything in your life. If you’re somebody who understands that everything is energy, then you’ll understand how important looking at everything as a intimate relationship is. For example, if I have a bad relationship with you, every time we get together, even before saying a word, you...

Storyliving Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. Reasoning and language is what got humans to the top of the food chain. “I ate those red berries on that bush by the river. I got so sick. Diarrhea for a week. Throwing up. I almost died. Do NOT eat those berries.” “Stephanie got bit by that snake that rattles and she died two hours later. If you hear a snake that rattles, run away.” “We actually started burying the seeds from the berries in the ground and...

Storyliving Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. Earnest Hemingway made a wager his writing friends, “I bet ten bucks I can tell a story in only 6 words.” So the lore goes, “You’re on!” they urged him. He took a small breath and said, “For Sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.” Did Hemingway really win the bet? Is that a story? And if so, what makes it a story? When I think of a classic story, my mind goes to fairytales. They all begin with “Once upon a time…” and end...

Storyliving Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. You want to know what I’ve been journaling on with my time off Instagram (day 28)? Writing and re-writing my Instagram bio. lol. It’s not a pain in the ass like it normally has been because I am under no pressure to change it right now since I’m not on Instagram. I’ve just been playing. One moment, I think I got it. Then I share it with the mastermind I’m in and they have INCREDIBLE feedback. I adjust it. Feel good...

bike packing in Shenandoah National Park - another heroes journey

A Soul Creation by Matt Allyn If you missed it, I’m taking a month of all social media (I’m 14 days in). I haven’t taken more than a week off Instagram since I downloaded it in college 14 years ago. I haven’t taken more than a week off creating since I began posting consistently over 6 years ago. There’s a shift happening around the work I do and I need space to allow the shift to materialize. It’s like going through a breakup where you abandoned so much of yourself but still living with your...

Become a masterful storyteller and build a deep connection with yourself and your audience This took me 3:11 to read There’s nowhere else you need to be right now. But if there is, put this away and go there now. Go do that thing with all your heart. If not, I’d ask you to put all the other tasks down. Take a deep breath. Slow down. Just be here with me. Your entire life is filled with getting to the next thing. There are no shortages of things to get to next. Is this how you want to spend...

Become a masterful storyteller and build a deep connection with yourself and your audience This took me 3:48 to read In part 1, I spoke about shifting your intention to content creation. Release the safety of hating social media so much and just choose to get better. No more work required. No video editing tutorials. No stealing someone’s hook. Just a commitment that each video is going to be better than your last one. You’ll know what to do. If nothing else, I bet that’d be more fun than...

Become a masterful storyteller and build a deep connection with yourself and your audience This took me 3:37 to read I want to become a 100% Soul Creator. I think it’s the best thing in the world you could do for yourself too. We are pure creators in life. You are creating your reality every moment of every day with your thoughts and subsequent actions. You are the creator and your soul knows exactly what it really wants to create. It knows how to share with love. It knows how to resonate...
