☝️ Worth Reading
Recommended by Alex from Alex & Books, World Builders is a weekly newsletter that’ll show you the best storytelling techniques and explain how creators, entrepreneurs, and big brands use them to drive growth and impact their audience.
While researching it I came across the issue on the ‘Power to the Storyteller’ where the author Nathan Baugh analyzes how Steve Jobs used storytelling across pricing, marketing, and design. I think it doesn’t matter whether you work in a related field or not - storytelling (as much as good writing) is a very valuable, yet underrated skill we should all consider learning.
💭 Let me know what you think of the issue and help me curate the most relevant content for you. Replying helps Google realize it’s not spam, but if you prefer Twitter - my DMs are always open!
