Interview With Storyteller, Dave Bricker – Part 1

by

Dave Bricker discovered his love for “StorySailing” while spending 15 years living aboard sailboats. In 1983, after his first year of college, David got a job working with the Christo Surrounded Islands project. During that time, he realized something was missing in his life. After finishing college, he headed off to the Bahamas to begin his 15-year sailing adventure, which included a transatlantic sailing trip in 1991. Dave has authored 11 books, and his company, Remarkable Stories, Inc., https://storysailing.com/, teaches the art of business transformation through storytelling. 

In the first part of my conversation with Dave, we explored how story and sound intersect, as well as: 

  • How his idea of storytelling for business started
  • Heading off to the Bahamas with a small sailboat, $30, and a locker full of food and dreams
  • How storytelling ties together music, writing, speaking, graphic design, and code
  • The importance of storytelling about people, outcomes, and value instead of prices, processes, ingredients, and data
  • Speaking techniques to draw people in
  • Girls tied to railroad tracks, dream sequences, the country, and 1940s clubs (yes, you read that right! 😉)
  • Whether our response to music is learned or innate—culture or predisposition
  • Playing music with a Dutch jazz singer in the Azores
  • How improvisation ties into storytelling
  • A big mistake people make when giving professional speeches and how to avoid it
  • How professionals can improve their speaking by getting involved with Toastmasters – http://www.toastmasters.org
  • How we as humans are hunter-gatherers at heart and are always scanning for threats

Interview with Brainwave Entrainment Expert, Morry Zelcovitch – Part 2

by

In the second part of my interview with Morry Zelcovitch, we got a bit more philosophical.  His work and research has led him to some very insightful observations about how he now deals with things in a healthier (brain chemistry-wise) manner – and how he might be able to help others do the same. So we started with a bit of science about how we hear things, the filter all sound goes through before we interpret it, and how this kind of research can help people dealing with PTSD, OCD and other issues.

It’s another very interesting discussion and I think you’ll enjoy the hopeful nature of it.

To recap, in this second part of our interview, we discussed:

  • How vibration is interpreted into sound in our brains in a very subjective way
  • How you get a cleaner, better effect with high quality headphones
  • What he’s working on now
  • Testing the audio to help people with PTSD, OCD, etc.
  • How the brain prefers things that are “uninterrupted”.
  • How life has become a very different experience for him
  • How different his life is now
  • How his work has made him feel like a super hero
  • The evolution of discovery
  • Designing products around the end user – and how everyone’s experiences will be different
  • How attitude changes everything
