The Man Who Was Taken Twice — Gist on Storytelling and Writing

This is a quick, high-signal conversation with creators building real work.

In this episode, I’m joined by Gist — author of *The Man Who Was Taken Twice* — to talk about storytelling, writing, and how AI tools are changing the creative process.

This is a different kind of building.

Not code — but narrative.

Gist used AI as part of his workflow to develop, iterate, and bring his story to life faster than traditional writing processes would allow.

We get into:

→ How he developed the story behind the book  

→ Where AI fits into the writing process  

→ How tools can accelerate creative output  

→ What still requires human judgment and taste  

This isn’t theory — it’s the reality of creating something from scratch in the age of AI.

If you’re interested in storytelling, writing, or how AI is shaping creative work, this is worth your time.
