Boyd – The Necessity of Stories in Being Human. Kaylin is a fiction author born in the midwest and raised on a strict diet of daydreams, myth, and magic.

•Eliminating the competition through self-publishing
•Connecting with people one-on-one to drive sales
•Stories are great ways to view life from another lens.
•The symbolism in fantasy has a connection to real life.
•Stepping back to reassess the situation before moving forward.

The HERO Challenge
Today on the show, Kaylin challenged Adam Long to be a guest on The HERO Show. Kaylin thinks that Adam is a fantastic interview because he owns Playground Productions Studio in Indianapolis and he spends a lot of time connecting with his community by hosting events and helping musicians who are just getting started to record and get everything that they need. Adam is also helping Kaylin get her LLC started.
