#218. What’s the shape of “The Odyssey”? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Christopher Nolan released his latest film, “The Odyssey”, this summer, there was much discourse (too much?) about its historical accuracy, its casting, and how it held up against Homer’s beloved 3000 year-old epic. For us here at Presentation Thinking AKA the “Storyteller’s Study Club,” we were thinking about another book—Christopher Booker’s The Seven Basic Plots— wherein Booker lays out 7 “shapes” for all stories. In one shape he dubs “The Quest,” Booker heavily relies on Homer’s The Ody
#217. Montana von Fliss moves millions by finding her “one” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Montana von Fliss is a master of distillation. From identifying a singular persona (AKA the “one”) that your talk will reach to honing your “secret sentence”, Montana’s approaches have cemented her as an iconic communication coach, keynote speaker, and maker of a millions-viewed TED Talk. In this episode, Montana joins Mikey to chat about how soft skills pay bills, the power of pretending there’s an audience in an empty Zoom room, and how “Imposter syndrome is just a misalignment with reality”.

Read excerpt
If you’ve ever felt transported to a different world or time period in a museum, that’s a sign of good exhibition design and curation working together. After finding an article written by Exhibition Designer Alya James from NYC’s Guggenheim (shoutout Substack!), our Presentation Thinking caps really started lighting up. From strategic placements for the eye to follow, to lighting and audio/visual components, presentation and exhibition mediums share many narrative-building elements in how someth
#214. How to speak and stand out at a conference—no matter the environment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, GhostRanch CEO Allie Wilson and Founder Mikey Mioduski spoke together at the Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo outside of Denver, Colorado—and had a blast! A busy exhibition hall where the audience wore headphones to better hear their presentation (think silent disco vibes), this conference setting and co-presenting together made for their most unique experience in presenting thus far. …Especially because their presentation stage was right in front of a restroom, ha!!
