I've always believed in the transformative power of stories. Whether it's through Star Wars, the dozens of novels I read each year, or the countless podcasts and TV programs I’ve made, stories shape who I am.

But recently, something changed.

Writing my own fantasy novel—set in a mythical version of early medieval Ireland—showed me how much I still have to learn about storytelling. It’s one thing to enjoy stories. It’s another to craft one from scratch.

So I’m trying something new: I’ll be telling one story every day.

Short, 10 to 20-minute stories. No planning. Just letting creativity flow. Like a podcast, but fiction. Like morning pages, but with magic. My goal? To become a better storyteller. To practice. To experiment. To get feedback. To learn by doing.

Why should you care?

Because:

You’ll hear brand-new stories every day—some personal, some fantastical.
You’ll watch me grow (and fail!) as a writer in real time.
You might be inspired to tell your own stories too.

This is raw, imperfect, and honest storytelling. And I’m inviting you to come along for the ride.
