31. The Power of Small Stories with Shawn Callahan 

What's one of the biggest mistakes people make when they try to use stories in business? How do you start telling a story without sounding like a weirdo? What is the best way to learn storytelling? 

Welcome to the Storypowers podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host, keynote speaker and storytelling coach, Francisco Mahfuz.

My guest today is Shawn Callahan.

Shawn is an award-winning author, business storytelling specialist and host of the Anecdotally Speaking podcast.

He is best known as the founder and director of Anecdote, one of the most experienced and highly regarded story-based management consulting firms in the world.

In the storytelling world, some might be more famous, or richer, or even better-looking than Shawn, but not many deserve to be called The Godfather of Business Storytelling.
