As fans of literature, we all know how powerful and effective storytelling can be. But can we harness that power to help us communicate in our daily lives? In this episode, Jacke talks to Matt Abrahams (Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot) about the lessons we can learn from literature - and how we can leverage an understanding of storytelling structure to help us succeed both personally and professionally. PLUS Mike Palindrome joins Jacke for a discussion of his longtime passion for the essays of French cultural critic and literary theorist Roland Barthes.
