Storytelling has a very powerful impact to help you stand out to other people and connect you to other people in very powerful ways. And a lot of that has to do with the brain science behind storytelling. There's a lot of research that's been done recently that shows how stories impact us as human beings. If you think about it, this is what we've been doing evolutionarily since the beginning of time, that we connect with each other by telling stories to each other. And recent brain science has shown why, that it actually changes the brain chemistry within us. And so all of those things will connect us more as people by telling stories. We don't get those benefits when we just share data, information, features, benefits.
