In this episode:

• A behind-the-scenes look at StoryFest's 10th anniversary, the interview format, the spontaneous plane crash story that stopped the room, and why loosey-goosey turned out to be exactly right
• What happens when you take StoryFest on the road and why out-of-town events build a completely different kind of community
• Franklin, Tennessee in September, Dallas in 2027, and the possibility of a StoryFest franchise model
• Story Academy updates: two-day intensive, bi-annual graduations, and the case for an open mic night
• Michelle on what branding really is and why soul work comes before aesthetics every time
• Jason on The Change Nerd, the DISC + change series coming soon, and why change skills belong to everyone (not just corporate America)
• The Starbucks siren loyalty tier we all deserve and the ongoing chai tragedy

Whether you've been part of the Kingdom Story House family for years or just found us, this conversation is a reminder of why story matters and what's possible when you stop underestimating yours.

• Road trips to Tijuana (two of them, two very different stories), fake Chanel bags, and haggling in Mexican markets
• Why trying to save your parents $113 a month on cable can cost you way more than that
• Attempting cake pops at Christmas and why Starbucks deserves more credit than we give them
• Applying for a Hollywood apartment at 17 and putting your dad's phone number as a reference
• What self-awareness, and the lack of it, has to do with every "great idea" that wasn't
• Why our stories, even the embarrassing ones, are exactly what someone else needs to hear
• The real reason Kingdom Story House exists: because your story, mess and all, can change someone's life
