Welcome to Forward Story
Thanks for visiting Forward Story. My name is Mark Casey, and this blog is where I share my thinking about the powerful ways that narrative and story can be used to help us all act in more meaningful and effective ways. Writing is just one of my pursuits. I am constantly trying to live out my own Forward Story as a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, and entrepreneur.
I have practiced writing my personal Forward Story for many years now, and I am convinced it can transform your life and lead you to the future you desire. I am a walking advertisement for making a plan and working it. My first book, Forward Story: Write the Future You Desire, is a product of this approach.
What’s In It For You?
You can expect to have your thinking stimulated about where your life is now and about where you want it to go. We will discuss topics like ambition, money, adulthood, family, career, health, spirituality, and everything else that touches your future.
Frequency
I plan to write any time I have something to say (instead of just having to say something).
