Podcast/group for those who tell stories for a living. We meet the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month, from 7-9pm at Gangplank.
Hoo boy. In this episode, Elizabeth gets really mad at LaPan's hating of women, I try to clarify my comments and Sarah is the peacekeeper. In all, pretty great episode for all of us, even if nothing we say has anything to do with storytelling or writing. StorytellersAZ is a meetup for anyone who wants to tell better stories. We meet the second and fourth Wednesday of every month from 7-9pm at Gangplank in Chandler. If you'd like to attend, show up. If you'd like to be a part of our podcast, email tyler@gangplankhq...

Not all bloggers are photographers, but with a little work, we can be. While taking your own pictures is a bit of work, it's far better than stealing images from other sites. Yes, I realize it's not theft. And no, linking the image isn't the legal way to obtain permission. While many of us are happy with a link (go ahead and use anything I write, as long as you give me some credit), not everyone can be so nice about it. Photographers especially. In the episode we talk about CompFight.com and a few other sites that...
The world of self publishing can be scary. So many options, so many buttons and so, so many tasks that most writers just aren't ready to handle. But we're happy to report that the actual process of publishing via Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is fast, easy and helps novice publishers through typical issues. In this episode, Matt Fox of Persuasion Theory talks us through his experience publishing Friction Free Sales & Marketing using Amazon KDP. Seems pretty easy, although I can't guarantee everyone will be...
In this episode we discuss how best to get ourselves exposure. While most of us hate the term 'personal branding', the ideas and reasons behind the term aren't bad. As Tyler was prepping for his TEDxPhoenixSalon talk, he was looking for ways to promote himself. Turns out that giving a great speech should have been more important than any promotion or branding. Think about that for a second. Ch...ch...CH...CHANGES! It's time to change things up, as our meetings and this podcast have grown a bit stale. Starting at...
I'm always asking Katie to look over my stuff, but besides proofreading, it's probably not a good idea. Why? Because it's always, always too personal. For both of us. We discuss what we think about this in the episode. Also, StorytellersAZ the podcast will be retired once it hits episode 50. We may continue meeting, we may continue to record, but it will be a new project with a more specific direction. Want to have a say in just what that is? Show up! StorytellersAZ is a meetup for anyone who wants to tell better...
In this episode we talk about my fear that I don't sound like I write. Yes, I may have been severely overthinking my TEDxPhoenixSalon talk, but oh well. It was a fun episode. StorytellersAZ is a meetup for anyone who wants to tell better stories. We meet the second and fourth Wednesday of every month from 7-9pm at Gangplank in Chandler. If you'd like to attend, show up.

('Someone' may have uploaded two raw recordings because he was impatient and didn't check the final file to make sure it was done. This is now the correct file.) Brian LaPan takes over hosting duties in this episode about designing ebook covers. While fretting about ebook covers may seem pointless, let me assure you that they absolutely matter when customers check out your stuff on Amazon. Pay someone to design yours for you, unless you're a designer. You'll thank us. StorytellersAZ is a meetup for anyone who wants...
Monumental meeting this week, folks. After this, I'll no longer be a free-swinging single dude, so...not really sure if that means anything, but whatever. And because I'm selfish, I'd like to discuss the biggest differences between writing and speaking (my TEDx talk is on Thursday) and the differences between internal and external motivation. Thoughts? We'll be meeting March 14, from 7-9pm at Gangplank. Tell your friends!
