Hey Josh,
Great to hear from you... we'll have to catch up before I head out.
I didn't tell him to make up a story. I told him to find one from his past, but he was really struggling with it.
Finally he was like, "Can I just make one up?"
I said, "Umm... I guess so, but you should really come up with some real ones for the future."
We were going out in just 15-30 minutes so it was a compromise. But I do agree... using fake stories is pretty lame.
