Ep 35 - The Power of Wonder: The Secret Ingredient in Every Great Story

In this episode, Paul explores what every great creator knows: wonder is the secret ingredient that turns a simple story into something unforgettable. Wonder draws you in. It expands your imagination. It keeps you creatively alive. For video creators and storytellers, wonder isn’t optional — it’s a strategic mindset.

Using examples like Cirque du Soleil and personal creative moments, Paul shows how staying “wonder-full” fuels innovation, unlocks new ideas, and elevates your work to a level that stands out in a crowded creative world.

What You’ll Learn...Why wonder is essential for storytellers. How wonder fuels imagination and emotional impact. Why creative careers stall when wonder fades. What it truly means to stay “full of wonder”. How to spot the clues wonder always leaves. And ways to reintroduce wonder into your daily creative life “Wonder always leaves clues — you just have to slow down long enough to see them.”
