This is the Be A Better Storyteller advice Jacqui mentioned in her email. Oprah’s speech that she – and the article – are talking about is below.

Wizard Academy Tower Today

Yes, on the Stardeck of the Tower is a life-size bronze sculpture of a little boy reading a book. It’s a magnificent piece by Gary Lee Price called Journeys of Imagination.

  Kevin’s Promo Code is KSKA250  Use his code for a $250 discount and we’ll do our best to seat you with Kevin at the mega-event in the Wizard’s Tower in Austin in late February. You can stack Kevin’s Promo Code with an additional $250 early-bird discount, but that’s the max you can get. But hey, […]

Disturbed by WWI and WWII, Jeffers concluded that humans are naturally antagonistic, volatile and anything but peaceful and gentle. Hence his attraction to “inhumanism.”

We taught a class 10 years ago called Boom Your Business. Brad and Sarah came to it, learned, followed through, and PROSPERED magnificently. Seriously magnificently. We got busy building the campus and didn’t offer it again until 6 months ago in Nashville. It was awesome. Now it’s happening again on February 26 in Austin. And […]

I am, by profession, an ad writer. I tell stories about people and products and services. You do, too. But because I get paid for it, I spend a lot of time considering – and measuring ­– the impact of stories. Some of the stories I’ve told have made people an enormous amount of money. […]

Everything but Tights, a Mask, and a Cape

Everything but Tights, a Mask, and a Cape I first heard of Gene Naftulyev from Daniel Whittington. Daniel had somehow wrangled himself an invitation to an exclusive New Year’s dinner with a group of business tycoons at which the host, Gene Naftulyev, decided to paint his portrait. It is an amazing work of art. A […]

This is a client of Mick Torbay, Steve Rae and me. They recently won a listeners choice award for being the mattress company of choice. They won on a station that we do NOT advertise on. We advertise on the competitor’s station. FYI – the client is up 60% this year. Stephen Semple

“When others speak of ‘chasing windmills,’ they’re talking about a futile gesture. But when we speak of ‘chasing a windmill,’ we’re talking about finding your purpose. Don Quixote is, for us, not a madman but a role model.” – Princess Pennie, speaking of Wizard Academy alumni, Sept. 23, 2014

Iwo_Jima_500_2d

This is the original image. Heh, heh, heh. Color, symbol, and proximity are three of the 12 Languages of the Mind. This little exercise has been a tiny glimpse into the wizard’s upcoming class. You should be there if you can. – Indy

Iwo_Jima_500_2c

The problem is with the flag. In this image, the flag is trailing the pole. That’s what your mind would expect.  

Iwo_Jima_500_2b

And no, it isn’t that I’m in the photo. You and I both know I wasn’t there in 1945.  

Iwo_Jima_2_500

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is the most often-reproduced photograph in history. You’ve seen it all your life. But this isn’t that photo. Can you spot what’s wrong with it?

Map of Bethlehem (20 1/2″ x 15 1/4″) drawn by a Franciscan monk in 1749. “Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light. The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.”
