Hi, my name is Robert Stelmach, a.k.a. Max Tell.
I am here not really to kill my dragons, but to face them. I'm also here to inspire you to face yours, or to help you to protect the children in your care from the dragons that haunt them.
What is a dragon? |

Hello, my name is Max Tell. I am a writer, storyteller, singer, songwriter, and educator. I've wanted to create my own podcast for quite a while now. Now that I'm sitting here, it doesn't seem so easy. |
| Max Tell: I have had problems with learning all my life. I have a 55 percentile short term memory capacity, making memorization a constant struggle. As a child, my difficulties with memorizing lead me to fear both reading and writing, for they seemed so far out of my reach. Yet I fell in love with language through song and that changed my life. |
