From Jim Henson to Keynotes: Andrew Davis's Journey to Storytelling Mastery

SHOW NOTESWhen you meet a guy like Andrew Davis, you can’t help but wonder, “How did he do that?” That was exactly what I was thinking after introducing him at the Author Nation conference in Vegas.

Also in this episode, I talk about why you don’t have to finish a bad book or a bad movie or even a bad podcast. I even worked in some health tips for diabetics at one point.
