I remember waking up as a 10-year-old talking to my Uncle Joe who played for the New York Giants I was a big sports fan and was so excited to hear his stories. My face would light up with a smile every time we talked about football and how much funny had. He was like a rockstar to me somebody I can look up to and want to be just like him as a football player. To to the day he died we still talked about football at lunch at dinner at holidays whenever we got together we talked football. He left me a legacy of sports that I'll never forget and be so grateful and thankful because of my uncle Joe.

One of the first books I ever read told the story of Kemlo, a boy born on a Space Station above the Earth. His adventures took him and friends outside the safety of the station on space scooters. The adventurers were mix of children born in space and those on Earth...the boys born on the station were acclimatized and moved freely...the boys born on Earth wore bulky suits. I was six at the time, the moon and stars were fiction. What fictional stories being written now will be factual in seventy years time?

Thank you for joining me on this journey through our stories. On my SKOOL platform, I will talk about the events I run and the people I have helped tell their stories. And now I am looking to work with business owners and interesting people to tell stories, and tell them well. Why? Who am I to start a podcast? Whoever begins a Skool must surely ask themselves, 'Who Am I?' to start a post? Perhaps you have been reading and listening to other people offer content on a subject; you are confident that your experience with the work can benefit the public and business owners. My skill, my experience and my passion are in storytelling. I don't mean just telling fictional stories; I believe we all have a story, and we should be telling it well. But first. Who Am I? Let me tell you a story. My story starts 71 years ago when a private in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment was drinking in the Granby Arms, Attleborough. My dad. You see, during the war, he served with the Regiment on the Ack-Ack guns and mortars. He was an athlete. He played soccer, rugby, ran, but most of all boxed for the battalion. He ate his meals with the officers and never drank. Until a few years after demob, and celebrated with friends. He drank three pints and began to feel 'woozy', and decided to get some fresh air. As he reached the door, he tripped and, falling into the street, bumped into my mother-to-be and fell over. They knew each other, and that is what may have saved my life before it started. She picked him up and took him to her house around the corner. That is how I was born. Not that night! A year after they married. The date, 18th of December, 1949 So, you see, our stories could be traced back to a time we were not even a thought, a vision or an atom.

In November 1998, Ernie Boxall’s wonderful partner and mother to two of his three daughters decided she was tired of being second to his desire to be a football coach. The years of raising two young daughters, while Ernie spent his free time coaching, proved too much, and he moved out while his partner began a new life with the girls. Ernie had to move out of the home and closer to his work at a local hospital. It was his darkest time, seeking to rebuild life in a new location while still keeping in contact with his daughters. The worst moment came when he arrived home to find that his daughter had been attacked by the partner of the woman who lived opposite, who, it turned out, was a known to the police. He felt a failure, and the pressure grew. The hospital was restructuring, and the change was too much: he was sacked (on a false charge), and the world crashed. The Change: The change came when he went shopping after the sacking. A wrong turn at a junction found him driving past a sign advertising Tai Chi. That wrong turn in the road changed his life. Tai Chi led to an introduction to Shiatsu Therapy and, over three years, an introduction to the art of listening to people’s stories. Ernie became a Tai Chi and Shiatsu practitioner and set up his own business. It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t hard either, because Ernie had a gift for listening and delivering good networking pitches. 1. It gave him the platform to deliver his 60 second presentations with authority. 2. It also gave him insight into the business owners who leave money on the table because of the Unwittingly Made Mistakes Many Make When Anxiety and Dread hamper their impact. 3. Ernie started working with them to deliver presentations with impact. 4. He turned to podcasting to deliver “No Story Stagnates”, with guests from all over the world. 5. In 2020, he hosted a live “No Story Stagnates” event, featuring storytellers, authors, poets, and musicians who entertained the audience . 6. Then the pandemic hit, and Ernie lost the locations for all his businesses. The door that closed, so that other doors could open.
