What’s YOUR story? Who is it for? What’s the best way to bring it to life?
Perhaps it’s your own life story, to pass on to present and future generations. Or it might be the life history of one or more loved ones. Or the story of a business founder or CEO. Perhaps you want to tell the story of your actual business, encouraging more customers. John will spend time with you, drawing out the unique elements of your story, and how best to tell it. It might be a simple video or audio-only interview. Or a fully produced, lively documentary. Or a book. Or a combination or these. The journey begins with our first, no-obligation conversation.
