00:46- About Storywallahs
- I was a shy and reserved kid and to help me overcome that reserved nature my mom enrolled me into theater and elocution and debate competitions and poetry recitation.
- Out of all of these, I fell in love with theater. The stage gave me a lot of confidence.
- I chose a career in advertising, and that is also storytelling.
- I realized that stories have a lot of power, but we don’t leverage that power as much as we can in a range of situations and application areas.
02:29- What makes a good story?
- It’s about going back to fundamentals, authenticity makes the story.
- The best storyteller about your organization or about you is not you. You can’t be the spokesperson.
