Character Building As an Attention Magnet
Lets skip over the bluster and the bragging of social media storytelling. Instead, lets talk about the kinds of stories that get people’s respect and attention. When you think of the leading voices who are crushing it online, their influence seems almost effortless. Because you feel like you’ve known them forever. What’s the secret? They’ve developed a style of personal narrative that reveals more of who they are and how they think, to the point of death-defying vulnerability. So lets talk about developing your own storytelling mojo for greater recognition and playing on a bigger stage.

Dad.Husband.Character.Performance.Story. That's the five word version. Recently selected for Cirque Du Soleil as a Character Actor. I'm not much on titles - whatever it takes to keep life interesting. My many failures have taught me more than my successes and I enjoy sharing my failures with you - up and coming brands who want to develop a narrative free from the noise of 'social media'. In addition to bringing projects like PostSecret.com and 1000 Awesome Things to the live stage, Ashanti Enterprises finds additional ways for you to stretch your wings and your message.
