A quote to share:

"Telling effective stories is not easy. The difficulty lies not in telling the story, but in convincing everyone else to believe it. Much of history revolves around this question: how does one convince millions of people to believe particular stories about gods, or nations, or limited liability companies? Yet, when it succeeds, it gives Sapiens immense power, because it enables millions of strangers to cooperate and work towards common goals." - Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens

Tomorrow's Episode:

We'll be talking about how your brand purpose relates to your brand integrity and how to build trust with the people who matter most for you to succeed at your vision.
