About MARCAS O'DEA

Marcas P. O'Dea transforms creative resistance into breakthrough storytelling as "The Story Sherpa" - a creativity strategist who guides writers, entrepreneurs, and artists through their darkest creative challenges to emerge with powerful, authentic stories.

This Irish-American storyteller began his unconventional journey as an Olympic training coach before discovering his true calling: helping others unlock their creative potential through the art of transformational storytelling. With 45+ years of writing experience spanning multiple genres under various pen names, Marcas brings a unique blend of athletic discipline and mystical creativity to his coaching practice.

As an accomplished author completing his "Book of Luther" trilogy, Marcas has been featured in The Sun, New York Magazine, and anthologies alongside Ursula Le Guin and Gloria Steinem. His screenplays have been considered by James Cameron, Barry Sonnenfeld, and Jim Carrey.

Beyond literature, Marcas champions animal advocacy through storytelling, leverages his highly sensitive nature as a business asset, and founded multiple literary publications including Hearts of Thunder Magazine and Malefic Magazine. His expertise spans from practical hospitality excellence (highest-earning server at every restaurant worked) to esoteric creativity coaching, making him uniquely qualified to discuss everything from creative entrepreneurship to animal rescue, from HSP navigation to publishing ventures.
