Storyliving Connect more deeply with yourself so you can tell magnetic stories that connect you deeply with others. Do you ever have a great idea for a story to tell, maybe it just happened and you’re driving home so you can’t dive deep into it, so you write it down to come back to later. Then, say 3 days later, you sit down to tell the story and you simply don’t feel the energy that you had 3 days ago. You’re frustrated because this is not the first time and you wonder how you can ever be...

Storyliving Newsletter Live a full life. Tell beautiful stories. Awaken change in others. The reel I posted telling my story two days ago has gone viral. It’s worth the 90 second watch here. Saturday morning I read a comment from a dancer named Elias, “so you became a content creator instead?” I could have handled the comment by itself… the real trigger came from the fact that it was the most liked comment BY FAR with over 100 likes. That means people agreed with this guy. There was one...

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. 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)?

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...

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...
