In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan delves into storytelling for business. But he isn't just telling you to tell your story; he's also teaching you how to do it successfully. The discussion emphasizes that stories don't have to be epic or crazy to be powerful. They just need to be from you.
Howie breaks down the brain chemistry behind great storytelling, walks you through the five factory settings of your audience's mind, and provides you with a framework that will shift how you write and share stories from now on.

Legendary Quotes:
“ It wasn't because I was boring, it's because I wasn't telling a story. Me, the person, is interesting. I know that. But I was almost reciting a headline or a resume or something, it's very robotic.” – Howie Chan
“ You don't have to say, 'Oh, Howie, I don't have any stories.' Take any facet, anything that you want to say, and put it in that [four-part framework], and you have a story.” – Howie Chan
“ Instead of telling them a cookie-cutter, one-line about who you are or what you do, you tell them a story that can connect. And they don't have to be epic or crazy to be powerful. Often, the best stories are personal. They're small, but they just need to be from you.” – Howie Chan
