The Story Engine Podcast

Today on the show we have Mark Gober. Mark is a deep thinker and author that has made an art and a life out of finding paradigms that need shifting and asking questions where most people wouldn't dare to ask. In this interview today, we're going to attempt to find the golden thread between all of his books and really hone in on his story of why he does what he does and why he's passionate about the way he creates and writes as an author.
