Everyone has a story to tell. Quiet entrepreneurs, everyday companies, ordinary people —they all have interesting stories if you ask the right questions.

The problem is, not everyone is a good storyteller.

Stringing together a few paragraphs is not the same as getting to the essence of a person, a company or an idea. Crafting a powerful message requires a perfect blend of passion, art and skill.

I feel fortunate to have been able to turn my passion for writing into a profession. I am privileged to get an open window into other people’s passions, lives and hearts — and write about them for the rest of the world to read.

Rodika, you have been an avid supporter for all of our causes to make our community a better place to live.  You have made a huge impact with the power of your words in those articles.  Your life story is a fascinating journey.  Perhaps you might right a book telling others about it and giving hope for others to lift themselves up also. ~Mary Jo Monten, North Mason Kiwanis/North Mason Cancer Crusaders

That is one of the best articles that’s been done on me. It’s outstanding. Over the years I’ve done a lot of interviews with a lot of people and I have to say, you’re there with the very best. ~Herman Petersen, retired top-fuel car racer
