Storyteller Tactics with Steve Rawling
Steve Rawling is the creator of the innovative cards decks—Workshop Tactics and Storyteller Tactics.

As a user of the decks, I couldn’t wait to chat with Steve this week on the On Brand podcast.

“Humor is a powerful tool for brand communication.” It’s certainly high risk but with the proper investment of brain power, it can be high reward as well.
