Coaching a Tech Founder With Cartoons in The New Yorker to Write a Laugh-Out-Loud Novel | Jon Stamell | Ep 1089

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"Life is only too long or too short, and so my goal is to cram as much into it as possible." - Jon Stamell

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Jon Stamell for a live coaching conversation. Jon owned an advertising agency, did television production for Julia Child for five years, has had cartoons in The New Yorker, and now leads Oomiji, a customer insights platform for brands. His personal vision is to make a creative impact on the world, and he's about 100 pages into a novel that his workshop readers say makes them laugh out loud.

You'll walk away with:
- The three roles in every decision, owner, evaluator and implementer, and which one sets your speed
- How to tell whether the ask you brought is the one your life is really asking you to make
- What changes when you write your story from the seat of someone who has experienced you
