1. You
know
my
name,
but…
you
don’t
know
my
story
Jason
Berek-­‐Lewis

2. Once
upon
MY
0me…
Born
with
a
hole
in
the
heart
3
open
heart
surgeries
between
the
ages
of
2
and
7
My
last
heart
operaAon
was
in
1981
–
my
Mum
and
I
turned
up
at
the
cardiologist
in
our
swimming
gear
More
than
30
years
since
my
last
operaAon,
but
I’m
sAll
that
scared
kid…

3. The
making
of
a
healthcare
blogger
I
learned
that
anonymous
blogging
doesn’t
work
Readers
are
people
and
they
want
to
connect
to
real
people
Readers
respond
to
inspiraAon
and
passion
–
blogging
is
emoAonal
Make
people
care,
cut
through
the
blogging
noise
–
you
can
only
do
this
by
being
the
real
YOU
Being
real,
exposed,
open
is
terrifying,
but
the
rewards
for
bloggers
are
tangible

4. The
end
of
permission
You
are
Newscorp
–
you
own
a
computer,
phone,
tablet
that
connects
to
the
internet.
This
is
a
21st
century
prinAng
press!
You
own
the
21st
century
prinAng
press
and
no
one
can
take
it
away
from
you
or
tell
you
what
to
do
with
it

5. Publish
your
story
your
way
Can’t
write?
Then
video
blog
or
podcast
Can’t
video
blog
or
podcast?
Then
write
Don’t
know
how
to
use
Wordpress?
Then
try
Blogger,
Tumblr,
Squarespace
or
even
Google+
Tell
your
story
by
telling
others’

6. Every
revolu0on
has
a

best
way
to
build
connecAons?
Weave
story
magic
The
best
way
to
build
a

Inspire
