I love stories! They are beautiful ways to teach immutable truths, turn dry lectures into fun learning experiences, and get the creative juices flowing, whether your write or tell them -- or both. NEWCOMBIO is simply my website name minus the "dot". You can find me on the web at jamesnewcomb.io. I publish a new story every single day (except Saturday which is my day of rest). Most of the time it will be myself sharing a short and quick story, and I'll have guests on from time to time so that they can share THEIR stories. I'd love it if you were to "check out my podcast" and subscribe, even leave a rating and review. Every little bit helps.
