In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I talk about mythic heroes, cozy storytelling, and why stories like The Mandalorian and Grogu resonate so deeply with audiences and families. I also explore expansive worldbuilding, different types of heroes, and the importance of relational storytelling in epic worlds.
