  • 13237: Thank You For Letting Me Help You Tell Stories
    Jun 24 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    I just want to take a moment to tell you how grateful I am to be a part of your journey, and to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your storytelling support crew.

    That’s pretty much it. I’m just thankful.

    And here’s a link to Kindra Hall’s Stories That Stick (I highly recommend this audiobook - she’s amazing and will also make you a better storyteller):

  • 13236: A Bias For Action? Or A Knee-Jerk Reaction?
    Jun 17 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    There can be a big difference between taking action, and hurting yourself by jumping to a reaction without really thinking it through.

    And there’s a difference between rushing to some action…any action…and taking just a moment to consider your options.

    Delta and AMEX and a couple who couldn’t wait to post with righteous indignation on Reddit are prominently featured in this episode.

    I don’t think they thought things through before their “bias for action” moment.

    What is your immediate procedure when something needs taking care of? Do you take just a moment to consider the consequences? Let me know in the comments below.

  • 13235: A Simple Shift (Key) To Make Perfectly Square Images
    Jun 10 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    Ever been asked to upload a perfectly square image as your profile pic?

    Sure you have, if you’ve created your profile on, say, ACX.com.

    The problem is that you’re usually working from a portrait-shaped headshot, that is usually taller than it is wide…definitely NOT square. So, you have to crop a section of just your face.

    And if you don’t get it just right, ACX will force the image to be square, and your face will get squished.

    No one wants a squished face.

    Here’s how to crop a perfectly square piece of your portrait-sized headshots: use the SHIFT key while making your selection, and your selected area will be constrained to be square. Then, save the cropped section as your square profile pic.

    I demo it in this episode (watch the video version on VOHeroes to see it).

    And it works for any app or website where you’re working with images: Photoshop, Canva, Preview…whatever.

    Questions? Let me know in the comments below.
