​Entering the new year, I can’t help but find myself thinking about beginnings.

We come into a new year and it’s all about starting afresh. It brings with it New Years' resolutions. And, how the year begins can really play a huge part in how the rest of the year will play out for us emotionally and mentally. What we will focus on, and what we won’t. 

We put so much focus into our beginnings. Hell, how many of us have gone on a Sunday night: “hey, I’m going to start x goal tomorrow”? Let’s be real, it’s because Mondays signify another beginning. And, we can attribute so much to how our lives begin, with so much about the first few years in our lives playing a huge role in the person we become when we’re older.

When it comes to stories and storytelling, beginnings are critical. A strong beginning that pulls people in can be the difference between people caring about the story, and people tuning out after the first few moments.

So, for our very first ‘Let’s talk about it’, let’s talk about beginnings.
