'The Story Lane' by Fayo Sanwo

It’s in my blood


Reader, you've got 3 days left to sign up for The Genius Storyteller workshop at the launch price! Save 40% if you get in today. After Friday, the price goes up forever.


So there are two things I’m completely obsessed with:

  1. Telling engaging stories that keep people hooked
  2. Teaching

About that second one:

My brothers were my first scape goats. At 9, I used to force them to listen to me teach them from my school notes.

(I was bored one day in August during our ‘long vacation’, so I took the mini white board at home and ran a makeshift school for them. It was a whole thing. I’d ask them to wear their school bags, but was also kind enough to give them some minutes for break... and snacks they could eat).

In my secondary school, I became a Sunday school teacher.

The only time I looked forward to more than Sunday mornings (when I got to teach) was Saturday afternoons because that was when they opened the ‘box room’*, and also when I got to curl up with novels I’d borrowed from the library (or let’s say “found” under a roommate’s pillow).

And you know how everyone runs away from teaching during their service year?

There was me, who actually got a request letter to be posted to a school. To teach.

There’s just something in me that comes alive when I share the knowledge in my head to others in a way that’s so easy for them to understand.

You can say it’s in my blood.

And if I do say so myself, I happen to be pretty good at it.

My subscribers keep telling me the same thing: “You make this storytelling thing ridiculously easy to understand.”

And sure, Reader, you’ve gotten a taste of it in these emails. But that’s just what it is: a taste.

To get the full experience, you need to be in a live class. More specifically, a live class I teach.

Good news: I’m hosting a storytelling workshop titled “The Genius Storyteller”. I’m going to show you EXACTLY how to tell stories your audience can’t stop reading, can’t stop sharing, and definitely can’t stop talking about.

Some of the things we’ll be covering in The Genius Storyteller workshop:

  • The POWERFUL storytelling framework that’s so simple, it works for any kind of story.
  • The ONE non-negotiable ingredient your story needs. Skip it and your audience will scroll away without thinking twice (I’ll tell you exactly what it is. And how to use it)
  • How to make people genuinely CARE about your stories… even if they’re about you
  • How to get unlimited story ideas even if you have a “boring” life
  • The EXPENSIVE mistake most people make when telling their story for an opportunity… and what you should do instead
  • How to read the mind of your audience through storytelling
  • An easy trick to always find stories that seamlessly tie in with WHATEVER you are talking about
  • How to tell your story for opportunities that'll make the reviewers EXCITED to pick you, even though you’re the one benefiting from them
  • How to tell magnetic stories even if you’re a mysterious person that doesn’t want to overshare on the internet
  • The CHEAT CODE to making your stories funny even if your friends feel you have a non-existent sense of humor
  • How to (literally) get into your audience’s brains with your story. It’s such a fascinating thing. And I’ll explain it to you
  • A simple but powerful test that’ll help you to INSTANTLY make your stories more gripping
  • What "authentic storytelling" really means (hint: it's not what most people are doing) and how to tell true stories people actually CONNECT with
  • Why the stories you think you should tell are the wrong ones, and which stories you should be telling instead
  • The SECRET weapon comedians use, and how to steal it to become a storyteller people can't stop thinking about

And so much more…

If you sign up between now and Friday 20th March, you’ll get to pay 40% less than the actual price.

After Friday, the price goes up forever.

Go here now and lock in your slot.

PS: fun fact, my brother makes tutorial videos on YouTube. I was scrolling through his comments the other day and I saw a lot of these:

I guess you can say it’s really in the blood.

*PPS: The 'box room' was where we kept our boxes in boarding school. Our hostel manager opened it only on Saturdays. I used to ration my provisions by week and keep them in my box, so I didn't finish them all by third week. Can you relate or were you a day student?

PPPS: Reader, this is the cheapest this workshop will ever be. After the price goes up by Friday, that’s it. If I were you, I’d hate to miss out on this generous offer.

Sign up now.
