What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks
RequiredThe clearest, most practical book on crafting personal stories that land. The "homework for life" exercise alone is worth the price — you will use it every day of this quest.
Lavalier Clip-On Microphone
RequiredClips to your collar and dramatically improves audio quality when you record story videos or audio pieces on your phone. Bad audio kills good stories.
The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer
