TMAY
Tell Me About Yourself (TMAY) is an ecosystem of transmedia stories, artifacts, and learning experiences that have supported over 200,000 people in more than 30 countries. Evolved from the 6-step method and book of the same name written by our Director of Studio and Media Lab, Musa Murchison (born Holley M. Murchison), TMAY is designed to help creators and teams across disciplines and industries to accurately and artfully define themselves, while merging and amplifying the arcs of their personal and professional journeys as they shift over time.
Check out the full ecosystem below.
“TMAY helped me better tell my own story and talk about my experiences in ways that I couldn’t before. It prepared me for new opportunities and brought me into new spaces. I moved cities, changed jobs, and set clear intentions. My quality of life is better because I learned to be more honest about who I am, what I’ve experienced, and what I want to experience in the future.”
TMAY BOOK
Created for dynamic beings constantly redefining themselves, their work, and the world around them, the Tell Me About Yourself book pairs interviews and case-studies with a simple, scalable framework, helping you craft and deliver comprehensive, compelling, and generally kick-ass introductions and personal stories for yourself, your team, or your company.
You can find TMAY in paperback, e-book or audiobook format at Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, Bookshop and most places books are sold online. If you’d like to buy it in bulk for a group, company, team or school, (domestically or internationally), contact us below.
“TMAY is instrumental in guiding me through the journey of self actualization by providing a no-frills, but fun framework that assists in the articulation of my evolving and expansive creative practice. The TMAY method acts as a North Star when approaching new projects, and helps provide structure for the type of work and collaborators I engage with.”

Use the free TMAY digital storyboard as a companion to help you work through the TMAY method. It’s a fillable pdf that you can save and reuse for a range of scenarios and conversational moments.

TMAY x WePresent:
A free audiovisual experience created in partnership with WeTransfer’s editorial platform, WePresent. Through a compilation of guided micropodcasts and beautiful illustrations and animations by Yukai Du, Musa talks you through a real world application of the TMAY method as they use it to rewrite a new version of their professional bio.
TMAY LP
We love a good soundtrack so we teamed up with producer and entrepreneur Wes Pendleton, to co-executive produce an 8-song TMAY LP. It’s great for easy listening in the background while you’re working through the methodology (or everyday listening).
TMAY FAQ (coming soon)
-
We recommend starting with the conversation that feels the most urgent or recurring for you. Keep a list of all the other scenarios that are coming to mind and you can practice using the storyboard to work through them over time.

Some of our favorites have been:
•What do you value and how is that reflected in how you spend your time?
•Where are you in your creative journey?
•What's captivating you right now?
•What are you putting your energy towards these days?
•What part of your work resonates with you the most? -
Think of them as the four areas we draw from to tell stories about ourselves and our endeavors. The information that lives in them helps bring the true essence of who you are to the surface in conversation.
Background & Interests: The experiences that have molded and shaped you both personally and professionally.
Values & Beliefs: The things that guide your compass (creatively, ethically, relationally etc.)
Passions & Aspirations: What you’ve dreamt up in your mind to contribute to the world based on your background, interests, all that you value and believe.
Skills & Achievements: Evidence of the doing behind the dreaming.
