In this episode, we break down the difference between your character's everyday actions and the pivotal moment that launches them into the adventure—the inciting incident. Using popular movies like Armageddon, Star Wars, and Jaws, we’ll show you how to identify the real turning point that transforms your protagonist’s journey. 

Learn how to pinpoint the exact moment that propels your character into action, making your story unforgettable.
