Why become a better storyteller?…
…Because it’s how we’re wired to learn and connect.
In this Dad Mindset Moment, Matthew Dicks introduces a deceptively simple practice to improve your storytelling ability: Homework for Life. The idea? Spend just a few minutes each day capturing a meaningful moment — a “first,” a “last,” or even an everyday experience that made you see the world a bit differently.
This habit not only makes you a stronger storyteller, it makes you more present, more reflective, and better able to connect with your children through the power of shared narratives.
Matthew shares personal anecdotes and practical tips for building this practice into your life. The result? A deeper understanding of your own journey—and a richer bond with your kids.
Storytelling isn’t just entertainment. It’s a parenting superpower.
