In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Branch Isole.

Author, poet and storyteller Branch Isole writes and speaks about the power of choice and consequence.

Known worldwide, his contemporary short stories reveal issues and emotions often experienced, but not always voiced.

As a Founder and Thought Leader of Spiritual Christianity, Branch Isole is the author of twenty-two books. Writing and speaking on the power of personal responsibility or its avoidance, his influential self-discovery themes span a wide range of reflective identity situations or scenarios every adult recognizes. His stories explore motives and actions in relationship dynamics across a broad spectrum. Branch shares issues and emotions often experienced, but not always voiced.

Forty-two short story poems from Branch’s books have been reprinted by magazines, newspapers and e-zine publications. Branch has appeared on ‘Talk Radio’ and Podcast programs nationwide. He is also a speaker.

Branch participates in book festivals and writer’s conferences where he shares a ‘pathway to self-publishing success’ with aspiring authors. He also teaches sessions using his “3-R” poetry model with new poets. Branch is available to talk ‘writing’ with interested groups, high school or college classes.

Branch’s active Internet presence provides readers and followers with short story selections and empowering ‘Thoughts’ posted on this site and YouTube (Branch Isole).
