Well, this is a moment.
Yesterday, Jeff gomez and I released a book. The 10 Commandments of Successful Corporate Narratives.
Jeff and I met in college almost 40 years ago over tabletop roleplaying games. He went on to build narrative worlds for some of the biggest entertainment franchises on the planet. I went into business and spent decades trying to figure out why most companies can’t tell a coherent story.
Turns out we were working on the same problem from different sides.
This book has been a long time coming. But some things need to marinate. And this one needed 40 years of conversations, arguments, late-night calls, and a friendship that somehow survived all of it.
If you’ve ever listened to me talk about storytelling in business — this is the thing I was building toward. Grateful to Jeff for being on this ride with me, and to everyone who pushed me to get it out of my head and onto paper.
Available from Amazon in print and Kindle.

“Skilled storytellers will show us how to hold disparate and even opposing viewpoints in our hearts and minds simultaneously—to accept the fact that paradoxes exist,” said @slrgomez in the latest edition of The Shift.
In a conversation with Jeff Gomez, Transmedia Storyteller, he speaks to the way stories have become a dialogue, transformed by technology and mass participation, and how our new narratives must teach us how to heal, both individually and collectively.
In The Shift, UN Live speaks with cultural changemakers from around the world about how music, media, art - and even everyday spaces like stadiums, dinner tables, and headphones - can become stages for deeper connection, inspired empathy, and collective action.

Another sample of one of the ULTRAMAN trading cards (round 3) done by Alex Sarabia (pencils) and myself (inks & colors) for Starlight Runner Entertainment’s international creative expansion of the franchise for Tsuburaya Productions. This has been one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever done, from the subject matter to the art to the people involved. 😊 #ultraman #animes #tradingcardgame #anime

I’m fond of saying that stories can be ladders we can use to climb out of chaos, fear, and pessimism to find a world we almost never could have imagined. @ashleyeckstein , @henrygilroy2047 , and a team of wonderful creators are joining with Disney to do just that. I cannot express how thrilled I am to weave this narrative. More to be announced soon!
