How does Fear affect us?
It's kind of interesting to think about how much power we can give fear at times. And that goes for real life as well as stories.

Forgiveness and the Redemption Arc
A good Redemption Story can be really enjoyable to watch unfold, but how often does forgiveness play a part in that, and why can we be so funny when people ask about forgiveness?

What is in a name?
It's interesting, how much meaning and history can be associated with names. Even though it might seem like such a minimal part of storytelling at times, it's still something worth thinking about, especially in how it can affect our lives as well. Which is why Jonah will be sharing some thoughts about names in today's video.

What do we consider 'mature'?
In this week's video, I wanted to start a conversation about what we consider mature storytelling. And also to ask if it's really just a label for popularity.

Felt like talking about an unrealistic expectation that I think often get overlooked these days. Also go into why it can be unrealistic and why it may not be completely out of reach.
