Successful Storyteller
STORY TIME! Every time we heard those words, we felt an immediate rush of wonder, excitement … possibility—long before the story ever began! Either told to sit quietly in a circle with our friends, or lie quietly in bed with our stuffed animals, the storyteller would peel back the first magical page and we would fly our imagination-kites … but quietly.
Now you’re an “adult” & the world fucking blows!
What happened? We quietly consumed the world’s stories, created none of ours, and the world quietly slipped in, to spoon-feed us more of theirs.
From childhood, our education often teaches us to be quiet consumers.
As adults, our “educated” behavior is later exploited, reinforced and manipulated by industries capitalizing on our lost creativity. Regardless of what, we all need to create. The more we consume, the less creative we get. To recover our creativity, we must reclaim the role of storyteller—of our own life. But where to start? An overwhelming process indeed. Nonessential narrators will need to be fired.

“That was amazing! Rene speaks with an authenticity that captivates his audience. He conveys his message with a raw vulnerability which left me thinking about his presentation for a long time. He educates and inspires without reservation by sharing his own story. Listening to Rene will change you forever. I used to do lectures and workshops and got out of it and really wanted to get back into it and when I saw Rene, I thought ‘you know what? That’s what I’m supposed to be doing!’ So I really want to thank you for that and yeah, you were just so real!”
“Rene Rafael is brilliant and in his element on stage. He has so much fun reliving and bringing everyone through his experience with such range and engaging emotion. The creative visuals add an element unlike any other and his message is critical for our youth and young adults trying to find themselves in this confusing era. Rene, you had me from the very beginning until the very end! Extremely Powerful!”
“He got a standing ovation at my last event. So many people have shared how impactful his story was. If you are looking to have someone on your stage that is the difference maker, the highlight of your event, someone that is going to standout and be memorable, I so recommend that you book Rene. He’s going to take your audience on an amazing journey!”
“Many mental health books for adults exist and I had no intention of adding to that pile. I originally wrote this addiction memoir to craft my story for the stage … but then realized its profound effect on my offstage life. So whether you craft your story for the stage or real life, may my memoir heal your inner child.”
