These are unprecedented times. In the last few weeks, the world has been turned upside down.

There is so much uncertainty and so much that is outside of our control.

And in circumstances like this, there are two things that matter: connecting with each other and taking proactive steps with what we can control.

And storytelling — the ability to deeply connect with others across time and space — has never been more important.

So we are gifting you our flagship course — The Science of Storytelling — taught live, twice a week, with the opportunity to pay what you can, whether that's $5, $50 or $500 (what we would normally charge for the course). Please note that your contribution amount is confidential.

We hope that you take action, decide to join us, decide to level up your storytelling game and decide to connect deeply with a community of fellow storytellers.

Everything you need to create stories you're proud of–effectively and consistently.

The Science of Storytelling is a 7-session month-long live online course designed to give you clarity & confidence, to increase your budgets & creative freedom, and to give you the ability to create stories you love, every time.

It is designed for brand leaders, filmmakers, nonprofits and storytellers who transcend boundaries.

The material has been taught to the United Nations, executive teams at Apple and Nike and sold-out crowds at SXSW.

It will help you get clarity on your vision. It will teach you how to communicate its value to get buy-in that results in budgets and freedom. And, it will share the science behind why storytelling works and how you can leverage it to the fullest for your brand, your films or your cause.

This is an opportunity to join an incredible community of fellow storytellers and up-level your skills.
