Episode 245: Forbes declares, "One of the Best Storytellers of the Year." Interview Max StosselDear Listener…welcome back to the Love Your Story podcast. Today I have a special treat for you….really. It's performance time… to welcome in the warmer weather and all good things we are getting a little Max Stossel. Max Stossel is an award-winning poet, artist and filmmaker named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. Spanning across five continents, from Lincoln Center in NY to the Hordern (HORDEN)Pavilion in Sydney, Max's performances have been described as "a rare opportunity to experience so many different emotions in the blink of an eye — the best bang for your buck of knowledge dropping, therapy, standup comedy, and wisdom-sharing. It's an hour of purity." Tune into the audio program because Max is with me today and he is going to perform two of his poems from his poetry special: Words that Move, and it's REALLY good stuff.Max Stossel's work has been translated into fourteen languages, won multiple film festivals, and has been viewed over 20 million times online. He's been featured on BBC, CNN, TEDX, and a handful more.His new release "Words That Move" is a first-of-its-kind Stand-Up Poetry Special told on stage at the Brooklyn Kings Theater. This is nine original poems where Max guides us to see the world through different eyes, while articulating the deep-seated kernels of truth that we so often struggle to find the words for ourselves. Taking on topics like heartbreak, consciousness, social media, politics, the emotional state of our world, and even how dogs probably (most certainly) talk, Max uses rhyme and rhythm to make these topics digestible and playful. Love me some poetry…In the audio program Max performs 2 of his poems for us and we talk about creativity and how we all have it.You don't want to miss this.Find Max and watch Words that Move:wordsthatmove.com/special; https://www.instagram.com/maxstosselThank you so much for being on the show today and sharing your work. So happy to share space with your lovely poetic soul. You have an important way of seeing the world; poets always do.I am a lover of poetry, a writer of poetry. If you recall, back in September of 2017 we had the poet laureate of Logan, Utah on the show, which was fun. I've had a handfull of poems published in the past, but one thing I know about poets, is that in general its a thankless art. It's a quiet art published in small chapbooks and read at open mics in coffee shops and University campuses. I'm really impressed with how Max has used technology and performance to share his poetry, his unique insights into the world with the rest of us.The lesson I'm taking away today is one about thinking outside the box. Just because something has always been done a certain way, doesn't mean you can't breach new boundaries, break down walls, find and use new ways of sharing.Your challenge this week is to take one thing you're doing in your life, especially if you feel stuck with it, and do a little brainstorm session that is strictly outside the box thinking, and see what you come up with. We always create our own boundaries. We also have to be the ones to break them down.Have a great couple weeks and we'll see you on the next episode of the Love Your Story podcast.

Have you ever been moved by words before? For Max Stossel, he saw a poet perform and was moved by it. He decided to perform poetry as well, and started to love it. After doing live poetry performance shows, he created a short film that took 7 years to make. While doing this, Max did other things to find other sources of income. In this episode, you will learn about how Max has generally kept his art separate from making a living, creativity, and doubling-down on yourself. Excited for you to build and grow your Portfolio Career!As always, this episode with notes is available on my website.Connect with Max on InstagramConnect with David on Instagram

"That's the art of communication. And that's, I think, something that's so hard to do through the screen as well. And that was how I started turning the poems into films initially was - Can I get the essence of this message to land through a screen? And that's actually very hard with spoken word, very hard with this medium, especially in a digital age where everyone is scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and not giving things very much care or attention as we take them in on our screens. And so I really wanted to make things that felt like they were honoring the art itself as I put them into that screen environment."

I worked with a lot of in this piece, especially immersive theater actors and dancers. So there's a show called Sleep No More in New York, which is like an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. It's immersive theater. You walk through the room and all these different actors have these interactions with the people as they're moving through this entire building. And I love immersive theater so much, and I was really glad to work with these very talented, immersive theater actors as I just think they're such good captures of humanity, and they tend to be very good dancers as well.There's a lot of dance in those shows. Then Sleep No More and Then She Fell are both just truly spectacular immersive theater programs.

"On mythologies or collective stories, in more recent writing, this is less true of Words That Move, but the next Special will very much draw on basically a religious or spiritual concept that my friend Alice Frank and Derek Hake and a couple of others have really helped instill in me as literally true - that I am literally you. That we are one thing looking through many different eyes. Like one thing having all of these different human experiences. And not as a metaphor, we're all one. No, like actually there's actual, literal oneness. And what does that look like to explore with words?

"I've felt when two boxers get too close to hit each other / they hug each other, and not because they love each other / because when two people get too close / it becomes too hard to strike each other hard / not to smell the humanity on one another.It's confusing to see our reflection in our enemy's eyes / helps us start to recognize where our actions might be misaligned / with the identities that we've defined. That was one where, as I started writing it, it's fun to be in an analogy, working through a phrase, unraveling and discovering all the new details of truth inside of a metaphor. And that really felt like one of them. There's nothing else to do but hug, we're like right here in the fight. And I just felt poignant for where, certainly where America was at. And I think a lot of the world is really going through, partially because of social media, these very big polarizations of political perspective.

"I think we have such an intensity in society for trying to push us to all see things the same way. And to try to conform all our vision to one sense of right or wrong. Or this is the way we're supposed to do things, as opposed to letting our unfiltered just like - what's real for me? What wants to happen?

And to try to conform all our vision to one sense of right or wrong. Or this is the way we're supposed to do things, as opposed to letting our unfiltered just like - what's real for me? What wants to happen? And how am I seeing the world?And maybe I'm totally different and weird and out there and outrageous in this way? And what if that's not something to hide, but something to embrace? And I certainly enjoy in my own life being in a space where, friends and loved ones, where I can just welcome all the weird and welcome whatever idiosyncrasies and quirks are there, and not let them be anything that needs changing."www.wordsthatmove.com/www.instagram.com/maxstossel/www.humanetech.com https://vimeo.com/690354718/54614a2318www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

"Erin Richards directed it, who is a friend who was actually just going to work with me on the Aliens poem, which is a piece about helping men see the world through women's eyes through the analogy of: imagine if aliens invaded, and they were giant and super sexually attracted to dudes. And she was going to direct it. And she was like, Well, who's directing the whole show? And I said, maybe you are? And she sort of laughed and was like, Okay, let me see if I can take this on. And she was so wonderful, incredibly creative, and has this second gear that she kicks it up in to get things done. And it couldn't have happened without her. The animation with Ryan Woodward - he's just a spectacularly talented animator. He actually made that animation independently of the poem. I wrote the poem independently of seeing that animation, and they just happened to blend together so beautifully. He was like, Wow. Oh my God, yes, totally. Go use this. Yeah, Matt Freidell is another director who's just was full stack, directing, producing, editing effects. He just had the whole gamut. And Doug Larsen, who edited it, really brought it to life with so much footage. It took a village for sure to make something of that size. And everyone just basically poured it in for the love - I paid people of course - but it we could not have done what we did at the actual cost of what things would have cost. People really just appreciated the messages and wanted to be a part of it.

"I enjoy dancing, but I would not call myself a dancer by any means compared to the people I'm working with here who are so wonderful at it. I worked with a lot of in this piece, especially immersive theater actors and dancers. So there's a show called Sleep No More in New York, which is like an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. It's immersive theater. You walk through the room and all these different actors have these interactions with the people as they're moving through this entire building. And I love immersive theater so much, and I was really glad to work with these very talented, immersive theater actors as I just think they're such good captures of humanity, and they tend to be very good dancers as well.There's a lot of dance in those shows.

Though the theater is my main focus as both an actor and a podcaster, it is often interesting and educating to talk with those outside the theater world. And while today's guest has performed on many stages, he is the last person who would consider himself to be an actor of any sorts. Nonetheless, Max Stossel has a lot to teach us actors about how we present and perform stories (and how we can even write our own). Max is an award-winning poet, filmmaker, speaker and former media strategist, and was named one of the best storytellers of 2016 by Forbes.  Sign up for the monthly WINMI Newsletter.  Max has traveled around the world, and his performances have been described as mind-expanding, profound, and hilarious all at once. And in this episode we talk about his one-man show Words That Move, which was selling out theaters all over the country before Covid, and is currently being developed into a digital special.  And if that last name Stossel sounds familiar to you, you know of his father, journalist and sometimes contrarian John Stossel. While I do my best to keep this podcast free from political themes and discourse, I did ask Max about his father and what he has taught him about telling stories and using video as a medium. Max goes on to discuss the importance of staying authentic and true to yourself, especially on social media. But we start our conversation with the basics of storytelling and how to get our thoughts and ideas down onto the page.  Podcast hosted by Patrick Oliver Jones - https://www.pojones.com  Support WINMI and get access to Members-Only Episodes on Supercast.

Max Stossel is an award-winning poet (whose short films have been seen over 40 million times) advisor to Tech for Humanity, successful filmmaker and all-around wise human who I'm grateful to call a brother.In this poetic + lyrical conversation we explore:

If you're looking to develop a healthier relationship with your technology, this interview is for you. Max Stossel is an award-winning poet, filmmaker and the Head of Education & Content for the Center for Humane Technology, an organization of former tech insiders and CEOs dedicated to realigning technology with humanity's best interests.  (He's also a longtime friend.) When I first met Max, nearly 9 years ago, he worked for a startup that could have been a precursor to Tik Tok. There, he experienced first-hand the "Social Dilemma" that comes with trying to make a habit-forming app, with the emerging consequence of hooking people to their screens. Around the same time, Max heard a poet that inspired him to begin writing and performing poetry himself, also turning his poems into short films. His third poem, Subway Love went viral.  As did his next poem, The Panda is Dancing.  They've been seen over 15 million times. Max's poetry often explores our relationships with technology, presence and the importance of prioritizing the relationships that matter to us most. With the Center for Humane Technology, he helps teach people to more consciously design our relationships with technology.   However, after re-listening to our discussion, I think his key lessons are about consciously designing our relationships with each other. Big thanks to Max for sharing so much with us! #EveryMileMatters!

Max Stossel is an award-winning poet, filmmaker, and speaker. He is also the Head of Education & Content for the Center for Humane Technology, an organization of former tech insiders and CEOs dedicated to realigning technology with humanity's best interests. If the Center is unfamiliar to you, one of their products probably is not – the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma, an exploration of the hazards of online life for the flourishing and well-being of our kids. Max's work has brought him to the front lines of public discourse about the impact of screens on our culture, and on the many ways tech companies are profiting off of our attention at the expense of our own well-being. On this episode of the podcast, Max joins START co-founder Krista Boan to talk about how he began this work, the ways we need to reframe how we think about our tech vocabulary words like “attention” and “algorithm,” and how online engagement drives people to extremism. Screen Sanity is Executive Produced by Krista Boan and START.It is produced and edited by Mike Cosper for Cosper Productions.

In this episode, Eli delves into the wonder of words - specifically their ability to heal ourselves.

A cell phone is a good way for kids to talk and text with friends, look up information for school, or watch some funny videos. But along with that, we are giving our kids a concentration robber, a perfectly designed self-comparison machine, and an unlimited pornography portal.  To break all that down, Kathy has invited Max Stossel, a lauded poet, filmmaker, author and the Head of Education & Content for the Center for Humane Technology. They have a frank discussion about social media and its effect on our children. They also focus on the hopeful aspects of communities working together to become more aware and responsible with technology. Also the importance of parents to be educated and to have those difficult conversations with kids, that lead to them making healthy decisions.  Learn more about Max and The Center For Humane Technology here

In this episode, Eli picks up the conversation by putting the renowned poet Max Stossel on the spot. Guests Dan Armstrong with Covenant Eyes, Faith Niece with Lion-Hearted Counseling, and David Chaim with Guard Your Eyes continue to discuss and explore with Eli the 3 pronged approach he took to living a porn-free life.  

Today we launch a brand-new series all about our digital health. During the pandemic, our need to be connected - even digitally - is at an all-time high, but at what cost? Are we using tech to escape? Is it making us more or less socially aware? Are our phones listening to us? To answer all of those questions, and more, Jessica spends time with Max Stossel. Max is the Head of Education for the Center for Humane Technology, an organization of former tech insiders and CEOs dedicated to realigning technology with humanity’s best interests. What Max reveals in this conversation may surprise you. Show Links

Here's to unplugging over the holidays.This month on The Idea Fountain Max Stossel, from the Center for Humane Technology, did a fireside chat about screen time which turned into a bit of a therapy sessions for all involved.Max said “Social media didn't create our problems but it poured gasoline on them.” Removing likes, 5G, internet trolls, parenting, emotional intelligence, AI, creativity - we covered it all in this episode.I know it always feels good to tape an episode of the Idea Fountain live with a group of friends at my house. The personal connection is a highlight much more than just liking photos on my phone. Still, I love connecting and staying in touch with people on line. Less time on screens will be a 2020 New Years Resolution for me. Wishing you more of whatever you want in 2020!

Why did Dominick take a 4 year hiatus from porn, only to go back on the sauce in 2017? How did temporary abstinence from both porn and masturbation influence Dominick's decision to leave a 15 year career in financial services and start his own business? Dominick explains why roughly 50% of the newcomers in his Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings were there for porn addiction. Men: This is a must listen if you want to understand the potential impact porn may be having on not only your sex life...but on the energy you bring to your entire life. Parents: Telling your kids "not to watch porn" is ineffective and irresponsible. This episode will help you understand the effects of trying to hide your children from porn, or creating an environment of guilt/shame when your child comes across it. Dominick and Bryan outline the first 3 of 5 stages a man unwittingly goes through in his lifelong relationship with porn (and why 95% of men will get stuck at stage #3)...and how that may lead to real-life impact to their intimate relationships and drive for life. Bonus clip: Award winning spoken word poet Max Stossel's live 6-minute performance from our Discerning Dick event on Porn on how porn taught him what it meant to be a man, sexually (a universal teenage male's experience).

Bridging technology and the arts, Max Stossel shows how two seemingly antithetical things work to create a massive change in our lives. Max is an award-winning poet and filmmaker named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. He is also the Head of Education for the Center for Humane Technology. Max shares his passion for poetry, and talks about the purpose of art and the power and impact of your words. He also gives insights on some of the challenges of technology and how it removes us from being present, and shares how we have it in us to move the world using technology that is thinking about human values.
