Storytelling
Taylor and Brandon are both story experts. Taylor runs Guts & Glory GNV, and Brandon cofounded Self Narrate. They connected through doing storytelling work. And yet, they realized they hadn’t done an episode of this podcast on storytelling yet! Time to rectify that. Taylor and Brandon talk about some of the benefits of storytelling and provide some practical approaches to writing and sharing storytelling from their work experience.

Public Speaking Beyond The Words
This month, we’re talking all about Taylor’s new book, Beyond The Words. In Beyond the Words, Taylor reframes how readers view public speaking, offers solutions to fear-induced anxiety, and refocuses readers on the ultimate goal: human connection. Whether speaking to a full auditorium, a boardroom, or an attractive date across the table, readers are given the tools to find their voice, better present themselves, and effectively communicate and connect with others.

Grief
Grief is a very normal and common emotion, but it is largely misunderstood. After the global experience of Covid-19, it’s a safe assumption that everyone has experienced some form of grief: the loss of a loved one or their own health, a loss of identity, time, certainty, safety, etc. Grief is exceptionally common right now, but most people are unaware, or unable to identify the emotion. Taylor and Brandon explore what grief really is and provide frameworks to walk through the process.

216: Taylor Almost Died, Mystery Gift & Taekwondo w/Fr. Anthony Sciarappa
Taylor got his beard trimmed for the first time since the pre-covid era and it was...not what he expected! Terrifying and embarrassing! Fr. Anthony received mail two weeks ago from a listener of the show with the explicit instructions not to open until on the air with Taylor. It was one of the greatest reveals of show history and was fodder to make fun of our favorite priest for an entire segment! We also learned more about a lesser known saint we should all appreciate more after this segment. Finally, Father shares his secret...

Stations of the Cross w/Taylor & Fr. Anthony
A typical Catholic tradition during Lent is to pray through the stations of the cross at the parish on Friday afternoons. For those times we can't do that(looking at you Coronavirus), Taylor and Fr.
