Aaron Calafato’s Storytelling University is a new live lecture series, streamed monthly to a select audience on Riverside and publicly on YouTube & LinkedIn.
But this isn’t just another lecture—it’s a storytelling experience. Frustrated by the lack of a universal academic approach or institutions dedicated specifically and solely to The Art and Philosophy of Storytelling, Aaron decided to create his own university. If no one else was going to teach storytelling the way it deserved to be taught, he figured, why not build it himself? Now, he’s sharing the value of these lectures and conversations with the public.
Aaron brings his signature style, delivering each session with the same heart, craft, and energy that make his stories so engaging. The series dives deep into the philosophy of storytelling—why it matters, how it works, and how you can use it in your own life.
Every lecture explores a different side of storytelling, with practical techniques that apply to any job, industry, or creative project. Along the way, Aaron will break down what makes today’s most impactful storytellers so effective (some might surprise you) and show how their techniques can be applied in meaningful ways.
The best part? It’s interactive. Join live, jump into the chat, and be part of the conversation—Aaron will be answering questions in real time.
Subscribe on YouTube to stay in the loop. The Storytelling University kicks off as a once-a-month event, with plans to expand over time. Don’t just watch—be part of the story.
