I'm glad we're talking about this, because I believe what we're about to go into is the most important skill that you will ever learn in life is, number one, communication. But the subset to that is storytelling. And so this hero storytelling framework is a framework that I believe is the simplest way to be able to follow a structure to tell a story, because it allows you to sell your ideas or influence and leadership, and it's the basis of charisma. I believe that if you can learn how to tell stories, you become a better communicator, you become more attractive, you become more charismatic, you become more influential. And everybody loves a great story. Everybody loves a great storyteller. And so if you find that you're not getting, and I mean this not in a manipulative way, but if you're not getting what you want in life, it's because you're not great at telling stories to get what you want in life and provided you treat people right and stuff. And so storytelling is a skill worthy to invest in. And I believe everyone needs to spend a lot of time learning how to speak in stories to communicate better as a human being.
