Every great story has the potential to not only help you build relationships and brand authenticity but also to sell your products. Which is why I am so excited to chat this week with Storytelling for Entrepreneurs founder Lyn Graft about how you can use story to help grow your business.
A serial entrepreneur and video producer, Lyn has worked with hundreds of big brands, events and some of the most successful companies on the planet — including Starbucks, SXSW, Dell, Samsung, Whole Foods, Zappos, Crossfit and many, many more.
He shares his experiences working with high-profile entrepreneurs, the lessons he’s learned as a producer, and his inside secrets to storytelling and mastering the art of video.
