The Marketing Book Podcast
Shane Snow, Founder at Large, and Joe Lazauskas, Editor in Chief and Director of Content Strategy at Contently, join the Content Experience Show to discuss how storytelling can build powerful human connections.
Building Through Story
For all of history, human connections have been built through storytelling. It’s only been relatively recent in the overall arc of humanity that strictly fact based history has been recorded. From the gods and goddesses of the Greeks to the folk tales of the Appalachians, stories have been used to pass down knowledge and ideas for thousands of generations.

See you next week!
