A musical exploration into how and why stories appeal to us and the crucial benefits of storytelling to the world of business.
Stories have power. They can change attitudes, offer new perspectives, compel us to act, and inspire us to push through the challenges in our lives. Through “The Art (and Science) of Storytelling,” Rod and Brett examine the art of storytelling via the craft of songwriting, revealing the strategies and techniques used in the stories that move us. Along the way, they connect the craft of storytelling to successful communication in the fast paced and ever-changing world of business.
