A Private Study x Antler: A Conversation on STORYTELLING

​What makes a story stick?

​Storytelling is one of the few crafts that cuts across everything — art, business, technology.

​From films to stand-up, Substack essays to dinner tables, storytelling sits at the center of how ideas spread, how culture moves, and how people make sense of the world.

​Join Antler and A Private Study for an intimate panel discussion exploring storytelling across disciplines — featuring creators and operators working at the top of their craft.

​We’ll unpack:

• ​What sparks curiosity — and how great storytellers choose what to pursue

• ​The anatomy of a compelling story across formats

• ​How different mediums (film, comedy, writing, data, food, product) shape narrative

• ​The role of storytelling in an AI-saturated world

• ​How to develop your own voice and perspective

​Featuring:

• ​Jonah Feingold (Filmmaker)

• ​Ali Kolbert (Comedian)

• ​Jonah Reider (Chef & Entrepreneur)

• ​Joe Hovde (Data Scientist @ Spotify, Substacker)

​This will be a candid, cross-disciplinary conversation. Expect sharp perspectives, honest tradeoffs, and a room full of people who care deeply about craft.

​If you care about storytelling — whether in media, startups, or ideas — this is for you.
