A Storyteller Since Six: The Many Lives of George Sirois

George Sirois has been telling stories since he was six years old, when he recorded his very first "audiobook" reading a storybook to his cousin recovering from cancer surgery. That early spark grew into a lifelong creative career spanning young adult science-fiction novels, over fifteen audiobook narrations, hosting the podcast Excelsior Journeys, and even directing an international cast of over twenty actors in an audio dramatization of his own work.In this episode, George shares how the characters he created in grade school to pass time between assignments eventually became the foundation of his Excelsior trilogy, what led him from writing to audiobook narration and eventually directing full audio dramas, and why helping other creatives share their own journeys has become just as meaningful to him as telling his own stories.WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT:- Recording his first "audiobook" at age six- How childhood characters became his Excelsior trilogy- The path from writing to audiobook narration to directing audio drama- Serializing his sci-fi/sports series From Parts Unknown- Why he created Excelsior Journeys to spotlight other creatives- Co-founding the Once Upon a Podcast NetworkCONNECT WITH GEORGE SIROIS:Website: www.hesgotit.comPodcast Network: www.onceuponapodcastnetwork.com
