Worth a Novel
Worth a Novel
Worth a Novel is Leon's personal media and interview project. It is not about famous people first. It is about the stories we walk past — backpackers, artists, taxi drivers, elders, students, street musicians, people rewriting their lives.
Every stranger is a book you've never read.
When we meet someone new, we mostly see the cover: name, age, clothes, job, origin. We rarely get the chapters — losses, hopes, turning points, quiet decisions. This project exists to open those chapters with respect.
The metaphor
A person is not only their job, age, origin, look, past, status, or Instagram. Behind every stranger: experiences, relationships, fears, dreams, and the moments that changed them.
The conversations
- What made you who you are today?
- What was a turning point in your life?
- What have you learned about yourself?
- What was your hardest decision?
- What are you afraid of?
- What do you still want to experience?
- What does happiness mean to you?
- What experience changed you most?
- What would you tell your younger self?
- What do you believe about life now that you didn't understand ten years ago?
Leon's role
Leon is not here to tell people how to live. Not a guru. Not a therapist on a pedestal. Not an influencer explaining the world. Observer. Conversation partner. Questioner. Traveler. Learner. Curiosity over expert status.
