Stories are not made from plot.

They're made from people.

I'm fascinated by the hidden forces that drive human behavior: shame, ambition, desire, secrets, self-deception, power, love, fear, and the stories we tell ourselves.

On this channel, I explore storytelling, literature, psychology, mythology, and human nature through novels, films, ancient texts, history, and real life. The goal is always the same:

To understand why people do what they do—and how great stories capture those truths.

If you've ever wanted to write a novel, screenplay, memoir, or simply understand people more deeply, you're in the right place.
