This is the first part of a three-part series on storytelling. This week, Ty focuses on the mindset of storytelling – what do stories do for people? Information is retained 500% better through stories than just given facts. Stories engage people's emotions and people move into action based on emotion – especially if the story pertains to the listener - connection over perfection. Join me for this series and see how stories can benefit you.

Ty sits down with connection expert, speaker and author Heather Younger to discuss connection and how it related to high performance. Heather discusses how to find the balance between empathy and drive by slowing down and co-creating a successful outcome. It's asking the right questions, going deeper, taking action and then closing the loop – using connection to create a high performance culture.

Ty shares the best three pieces of advice he ever received. 1. If you treat your business casually, you will become a casualty. 2. Never stop knocking doors. 3. Write the book for the reader, not the writer. All of these great pieces of advice can be applied to every aspect of your life. Listen and find out how they can help you.
