“We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories. There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling!”
-Jimmy Neil Smith

There is nothing better than hearing an amazing story. One that grips you, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and ultimately has some hidden lesson you can later translate into your life! But what makes a good story? How can you take facts or events and weave them into a compelling narrative that grabs and holds an audience’s attention? Well, Kennedy Smith is here to tell you!
