I've struggled to align myself with a lot of labels in my career-engineer, product manager, even aspiring CEO. And although each offers a bit of unique insight as to who I am, no word ever resonated with me as much as the word 'storyteller.'
Storytellers are the most powerful individuals in the world, not because of the wealth they've amassed or the magnitude of their following, which are often the byproducts of their success. Storytellers are the most powerful individuals in the world because they can make us feel a certain way. They can invoke and poke at our identity as we find ourselves reflected in the characters they cast. They can induce and toy with our grief as they tangle the fabric of their tales and twist our hearts along. Storytellers take us on journeys, and at the end of the trip, we are beckoned to understand the meaning of their stories-the purpose-even if it feels like we've arrived at right back where we started. And the most critical element to their stories isn't the crescendo of the ensemble or the intricacy of the webs; rather, it is the depth of their characters. It is the feeling of their presence and the understanding that they, like us, are human.
This page is an evolving monument to my favorite characters as well as the young storyteller in me, eager to recount their stories and the impressions they left on me.
