Stories are powerful. When done right, stories connect, persuade and make us feel something that lasts long after we've heard it.  

Quentin is a masterful storyteller. I started seeing his content in 2017 when LinkedIn video popped onto the scene. He usually had on his signature black hat and told the most thought-provoking and heart-felt stories. He committed to recording a video for 500+ straight days to master the art of being on camera. It was amazing to watch.
