In EP. 81 of The Patty Show, Patty sits down with internationally acclaimed storyteller Michael Esser for a conversation about creativity, boundaries, and the evolving relationship between storytelling and artificial intelligence.
Michael is best known as the creator and head writer of the 685-episode television phenomenon Verliebt in Berlin, a groundbreaking series that earned him the German Television Award and cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s most prolific television writers.
Today, Michael works at the intersection of global entertainment and advanced technology. As an AI Technical Writer supporting Meta’s AI Studios, he helps lead AI red-teaming initiatives designed to ensure that large language models understand the complexities of human storytelling, culture, and ethics.
Through his consultancy To Tell A Story, Michael also mentors emerging storytellers and consults on international film and television projects while sharing insights about “narrative engineering.”
In this episode, Patty and Michael explore:
• Why boundaries are a powerful form of self-love
• Protecting creative energy in high-performance environments
• How storytelling principles are shaping the future of AI
• The discipline required to build meaningful narratives — in life and in work
Michael’s journey from German television writer to AI narrative architect offers a fascinating perspective on how storytelling continues to shape our world — even as technology evolves.
