Harris III - magician, producer, creative guru - and the man behind the now practically infamous STORY Gathering that I continually rave about here on the show. Yes, that's right - I went straight to the source to hear about how it all came to life - and how to create something both uncommon and universally moving - a challenging feat. I've had so many guests on the show that were inspired by my experience at Story - Jason Jaggard, Brad Montague, and now Harris. Hank Fortener - a favorite with my listeners - was also there last year. And it was first introduced to me by my guest Lindsay O'Connor who read some of Story's marketing materials for her This Moved Me Moment, and I gasped with awe for the beauty of the writing. That's what I'm talking about: beauty, creativity, risk, identity, community. These themes swirl in and around the STORY crew, and it makes for an experience that will nourish your soul and challenge us to do work that really matters. You guys - I realize that much of this sounds like a commercial for STORY. They are not paying me to say any of this. I get no kick back from this. I am just a real, live FAN because of my experience last year - and I want to see you there! AND! And! And. (I'm excited. Can you tell?) Since I recorded this conversation, Story has asked me to be a part of the experience in September. Live coaching, anyone!? Aw yeah. So - Let's do this! And listeners here at This Moved Me get a 10% discount if you use the code THISMOVEDME. Whoa! Do this! Ticket prices go up by $100 on May 31st - so now is an awesome time to join in. (And if you decide to go - let me know by sending me a quick note. I'd love to connect!) To all: enjoy.

Hank shares the story of his unique upbringing growing up in a family that adopted and fostered over 40 children, the reason why his dinner table "looks like a gathering at the United Nations". This inspires Willie to share some stories about his less than hygienic upbringing, including how his entire family used to share bathwater and how a cockroach once got stuck in his ear. Yes, those are true stories. The guys also talk spirituality, Donald Trump, and the dramatic events surrounding the search for John Luke Robertson's missing dog, Pippa.

In this republication of one of my most popular episodes EVER on This Moved Me, Hank Fortener and I delve into HOW he creates talks week after week with the same kind of passion and intentionality that he brings to each talk.

In this slightly longer episode (I just couldn't cut anything!) - Hank shares his insights, ideas and approaches to crafting a talk.
Hank is not your average Pastor. In these episodes, many topics are sparked which at the core can inspire us to widen our lens by looking underneath what we think we know, and who we think we and others are. The growing popular term “spiritual but not religious” is a clue of imbalance and our […]

Scott Savage – a Twitter friend! - found me through one of my all-time favorite episodes – Hank Fortener. Hank and Scott have many things in common – they are both speakers, they are both pastors, they both have this wonderful combination of skill and insight that makes them both really good at what they do, but also WISE at what they do. These are my favorite kinds of guests – guests that dig deeper with me on why this matters. In Scott's life - whether as a blogger or speaker, his goal is to empower us with new perspective - and he makes good on that promise. And here’s what I really appreciate about Scott – he is so clear and honest on the WORK that it takes to become a transformative speaker. He believes in the opportunities that are in front of us when we “take the stage.” And he prepares, invites feedback, polishes, invests himself… and then starts over again the following week. That kind of dedication and commitment has earned my respect – and I can’t wait for you to also lean into his insight. Show highlights: On Becoming Better [Tweet "#Speakers: "Nothing can replace experience." @scottsavagelive on @ThisMovedMe"] On the show, we talked about: Scott's journey to experienced and skilled speaker, learning from those speakers he admired and that moved through him The importance and challenge of the rhythm of the pastor's speaking schedule What "transformation" looks like - and how Scott nurtures his talks to move his audience using a "Star Moment" - a moment they'll always remember And the role of feedback, failing and mining your life's bumps to bring insight to your audience [Tweet ""I got better because I gave lots of bad talks and got brutal feedback." @scottsavagelive on @ThisMovedMe"] Resources/Links: Scott's Blog - Scott Savage Live Scott on Twitter (he shares good stuff there - check it out!) Gary Vaynerchuck - and moving to more authenticity and courage Ira Glass - here's a link to his storytelling series on YouTube, which is awesome Blaine Hogan (who said, "Scratch when you don't itch.") Evernote - a digital filing app that makes it easy to collect, organize and stay inspired [Tweet ""The messages I give are the ones that have already wrecked me." @ScottSavageLive on @ThisMovedMe"] This Moved Me Moments: SALLY: I auditioned for the Listen To Your Mother event here in the Twin Cities! It was a moving moment for me because I haven't auditioned for anything in quite a long time - so it was good to be nervous, and good to put myself out there. [Good news! I got in! More on this soon.] For your viewing pleasure, take a look at one of my favorites on the LTYM YouTube channel! SCOTT: Scott reminded us about the "me too moments" that can be so powerful in our talks. We think we're the only one, but when we hear another person's story we can find the universal in someone else's specific. I'm grateful, ******* And - THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS! Dr. Nick Morgan (a guest on This Moved Me) created the Presentation Prep Course. It's like having Nick coach you - which is no small thing! Nick is the ultimate pro - and I myself have walked through this course. It's so incredibly helpful and full of insight and tools. If you are prepping for a presentation and can't afford the costly hours of hiring someone live - check out this e-course! And, I cannot forget the editing geniuses at We Edit Podcasts! They are so on the ball. Just last week I hadn't heard from my editor - which was strange - and so I sent an email expressing my concern. I got a phone call back from the FOUNDER, assuring me all was well. That's what I call service. Please trust me - I have saved so many hours by having these folks take on the nit-picky task of editing my shows for me. If you have a podcast - or want to create a podcast - this is sooooo worth it.

"The great divide is not between those who are artists and those who are not, but between those who understand that they are creative and those who have become convinced that they are not.” -Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul The Artisan Soul series is based off a book written by Erwin McManus. Erwin is founder and Pastor of Mosaic in Los Angeles and has inspired our Mosaic community here in Lincoln, NE. Erwin's leadership in the realm of faith and creativity is starting a movement in the church to see that every human is created by God to create. That faith and creativity are allies rather than adversaries and every human is a work of art, and an artist at work. That God is the source of all beauty, wonder, and artistry. "The great divide is not between those who are artists and those who are not, but between those who understand that they are creative and those who have become convinced that they are not.” -Erwin Raphael McManus, The Artisan Soul Special thanks to Erwin McManus, Hank Fortener and Rob Bell's Nooma "Breath" for their contribution and insight towards this message.
