313 - Connecting Through the Power Of Story: A Conversation with Fred Koehler

Send us a text They say that loose lips sink ships…and so does my guest and new friend Fred Koehler! (Okay, so he’s only sunk one ship - his brother’s boat - but wait until you hear the story! 🌊) Fred is an author, illustrator, and artist with a strong belief in the power of story - and in the potential that stories have to connect with one another, change hearts and minds, and understand and empathize with the world around us. The truth is, we are all storytellers, no matter what creative medium we choose. When we create, we do so from a place of authenticity and vulnerability - which is exactly what draws people to our art and enables them to connect with it! Join Fred and me as we talk about the Master Storyteller and how He has written a beautiful story through our lives - and how exciting it is that we get the chance to experience His story first-hand! 🚨 Awesome Opportunity Alert! 🚨 Fred is so passionate about stories that he is helping other people to uncover their own story with Ready Chapter 1, a novel workshop experience that takes you from concept to query in just 10 months!
