Working with Founders and Startups taught me what I call "Conversational Storytelling Fluency".
What are some of my favorite resources to learn the art and science of storytelling?

4. Two books on storytelling
Some people like to read and I get that.
1. Check out Building a Story Brand by @donaldmiller
2. Storyworthy by @MatthewDicks
Matthew's Homework for Life practice is very similar to what I call building a story bank. Huge ROI on that practice.

5. A reminder that we need diverse stories
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "The Danger of a Single Story" is one of the best Ted Talks I've ever seen.
We need diverse opinions, ideas, thoughts, and most of all...stories.

Two of my favorite books teach me every read.
1. Gates of Fire by @SPressfield
2. Dune by Frank Herbert
