Stop saying that it's "just a story". Depending on what it is or what you're trying to do, it can get you the cat you want. Or, get you killed. 

In the 11th episode of Ghostwriter and Pup's Journal Series, Jody delves a bit into the power of story to shape your actions. 

Topics include:

- The difference between "what's so" and "story", and how "story" usually wins. 

- How stories determine ranges of actions, e.g. what happens to Canadians who believe that winters are long and summers short. 

- Implications for pandemic response and pet adoption, based on the story that you believe. 

If you have a topic that you want Jody to explore in a future episode, or would like to appear as a guest, email your idea to jody@jodyaberdeen.com.
