Ever wondered what it takes to immortalize your life's journey in the pages of a book? That's exactly the transformation I've undergone, shifting from the dizzying heights of Wall Street to the grounding realm of storytelling. In a candid revelation, I unfold the tapestry of my own narrative, sharing the epiphany that everyone has a riveting tale to tell and the birth of my venture to encapsulate these legacies. We venture into the delicate craft of biography and memoir writing, peering into the complexities and the profound impact of capturing personal stories in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
In the company of Joseph from StorySavor we amplify the narrative further, underscoring his company's heartfelt mission to bring the art of biography within reach of all. Diving into Joseph's world, we explore how Story Saver tears down the barriers once reserved for the elite, enabling every voice to echo through the annals of history. His insights into guiding clients in selecting the ideal wordsmith to narrate their life's script, and the subsequent journey to sharing these chronicles with the world, will inspire anyone looking to cement their story for generations to come. Join us for an episode that not only illuminates the intricate process behind personal storytelling but also celebrates the unspoken chapters of our lives.

• Through this process, I realized I loved connecting with people and sharing their stories – yet I was still self-conscious that I’d never been trained as a journalist. I wanted to improve my craft – to be the best storyteller possible – so I applied to Columbia Journalism School, and much to my surprise, I was accepted!
