What's the most powerful tool in the world for captivating the human brain? It's storytelling. As business leaders, sometimes we struggle to keep our audience's attention for a few seconds. But storytellers have figured out how to keep an audience's attention for hours. If we want to captivate our customers, we need to understand the art of storytelling. So today on the Building a StoryBrand podcast, Donald Miller talks with Allan Heinberg, one of the world's most accomplished storytellers. He's written for Grey's Anatomy and Sex and the City and is currently the showrunner for Shonda Rhimes' show The Catch. In this episode, you'll find a wealth of wisdom for how to captivate your audience of prospective customers. (There's also a fair amount of geeking out about character development and the creative process!) PLUS! Don't miss the BONUS SEGMENT with musician Drew Holcomb.
