“Hello, Master Kymberlee.” I’ll never forget hearing those words for the first time. I’d just earned my Fourth-Degree Black Belt in Dynamic Circle Hapkido. And standing in the dojo, after receiving that greeting from a fellow martial artist, makes me reflect on my 20+ years of Martial Arts training. In that moment, I can’t help but think about what it truly means to master something.
Fast forward to real-time today on the eve of my Fifth-Degree Black Belt Test. The actual test I have coming up is simply a moment in time. The pursuit of mastery, though, is an evolving adventure on every level, and the gift of mastery is an entire story of evolved learning, growth, accomplishment, and surprise based on a singular skill.
Adam C. Hall has spent a good part of his career studying for mastery of the intellectual kind. And as my special guest on today’s episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, he and I unpack and get into this world of genius, mastery, and success by delving into questions like:
What is genius, really, and how does it tie into the story of your potential? What bonus benefit comes out of sharing your traumatic stories? Why is there no such thing as bad stories? And where does relatability in your story ultimately come from?
What you will learn in this episode:
- What long-lasting impact freeing yourself from old stories can have
- How to find the story you want to tell to an audience
- What helps your story come alive more than mere words can
