Stories are powerful. They improve our learning. They help us to understand and remember things and events we may not ordinarily not remember. Stories affect our brain chemistry, they manufacture emotions that help us relate not only to the parts of the story, but also to the person telling the story.
Matthew Luhn joins A New Direction with his latest book The Best Story Wins: How to Leverage Hollywood Storytelling in Business and Beyond.
Matthew is known for being the youngest animator for the ever popular Simpson’s TV show. He also was part of the beginning of Pixar and helped developed the stories for Toy Story movies, Finding Nemo, Monsters University, Cars, and more! In this episode of A New Direction Matthew walks us through how creating a story can transform your business and you.
Matthew even shares a personal story of how he was able to use a story to leverage keeping the family toy store in a prime location in San Francisco. The Best Story Wins is a great read, not long but as Matt describes it contains all “the nuts and bolts” you need to create a great story, develop characters, defeat your villains and create your own heroes! Matthew and I even discuss how authentic story telling can lead to trust in your business. You don’t want to miss it!
