That was the original name of this project. I was thrilled, hopeful, and proud. Those were the good old days.
But the more I shared “The 3-point exploding-brain technique” with others, the more I realized that "The Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique” is not a universally recognized reference, even for people who've watched Kill Bill.
So first, a little housekeeping (no spoilers ahead)
Bill

Beatrix Kiddo
Did he teach you that?
Bill

He teaches no one the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique.
Come on, people.
“The 3-point brain exploding technique” is too good of a name.
I'm in denial.
So off I go to pester people and stress-test the concept.
After relentless pitching at parties, messages to friends and relatives, and a few Reddit rabbit holes. I have my result:
People suck. I need to find a new name.
Not everything is lost, though. I had a second option.
BEHOLD!
ATOMIC STORIES.
Do ATOMIC STORIES have the oomph, pizzazz, and jenesequoi! of “The 3-point brain exploding technique”?
No.
But people get the concept better.
Fear not. I will explain it in detail soon.

IMPORTANT: The name is not discarded; I urge you not to copy it. Things will get bloody if you do.

Now, along with keep building this storytelling generator for solopreneurs. I'm on a mission to evangelize for the "Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique.”
I'll knock on your doors and all.
Howdy, sir/ma’am. Do you have 5 minutes to talk about our lord Quentin and the "Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique”?

See you on Friday!
Matias.
