Click play below to hear a podcast episode introduction to the big ideas behind the Character Arc Course:

The Character Arc Course addresses the root causes behind the stagnation that holds you back. It doesn’t do this generically – your causes are unique to you, and you discover them in the course. In addition to using ideas found in Narrative Theory, Psychoanalytic Theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it also uses the novel technique of Smart Streaming pioneered at The Character Arc.

The Character Arc Course helps you measurably decrease the distance between what you find admirable and what you actually DO.

Smart Streaming and The Character Arc Course use your unique resonance with stories to give you direct access to the sources of motivation that push you into powerful action.


The Character Arc course is an alternate route to the type of results one hopes to gain from lengthy therapy sessions, expensive life coaches, and self-help gurus. All this using a uniquely entertaining and effective system at a much more reasonable cost.
