Day 31 - Keychain

Today was great - hit the gym hard. It really pumps the endorphins and gets things going. I came out of the gym totally wired and DTF, lol. So I made a call and met with a girl that afternoon for some fun. Aah, abundance ;)



We hung out at 5.0's place for the early part of the evening, chatting and hearing all the gory details of the Stockholm bootcamp. A really crazy time by the sounds of it! 5.0's place is really nice - spacious and clean. A great place to just chill and be relaxed (good cup of tea too!).

5.0 then went on to teach us about storytelling - he gave lots of examples and went really in-depth. Some key takeaways for me:

- A story should have three phases: beginning, middle and end. Without some kind of structure and an awareness of an 'end point', your anecdote can easily fizzle out.
- How to calibrate your story through repeated telling, hitting DHV's, creating an emotional connection and forming waypoints.
- Method acting principles applied to storytelling (awesome).

He graciously answered some of our sticking points - he gave me great advice about takeaways, what to do when you bump into a set that you left (on a high) earlier in the night, how to re-open, how to deal with interrupts to your story etc...

An experienced in-fielder, 5.0 has the ability to quickly identify and solve even the most specific sticking points.

He also gave some great tips on instructing (in prep for our Rockstar bootcamp this week). All great advice. 5.0 time is always super useful and solid, he has consistently given me loads of great advice that I've been able to use immediately in-field. Legend.

Laters,
