This was a great interview. I have a Storytelling manual that hasn't been opened...maybe I'll give it a shot!

Most professional speakers claim to make a good living doing their thing, which is, in most cases, a tall tale of it's own. Does Bil Lepp make a full time living at this? How?

I'm not sure if Bil makes a living as a storyteller. I know he has several CDs, which bring him some income. Money mouth But how much? Interesting question...I'll try to find out if he's FT or keeps a day job.
