How to Refine the Story You Want to Tell (Shin Kicking Mondays)

In this episode of Shin Kicking Mondays, I respond to a question sent in by Jon Wilkening.

Jon says, “I don’t know the main story that I want to tell with my online presence. I feel like I am trying to tell multiple stories right now resulting in none of them consistently being communicated. I feel the desire to relate my own personal journey to where I could no longer not be creative but I also need to tell the story of my art to be successful. I cant just throw my art into the world without a story…how did you learn to tell your story?”
