A few months ago, in random chit chat, I (Kyle) mentioned to a neighbor I liked ribs. This morning, they surprised me with a rack of home-made smoked ribs. It made my day.
It made me think of this sentiment by John DiJulius from Kevin Bille's Good Stuff Summit back in May that I had the privilege to film.

💡 "People trust people not brands, which further confirms the need for storytelling to increase trust in a brand through people."
For years, I've watched students and clients struggle to communicate the impact of brand storytelling. So I was extra excited to speak with Angela Dwyer of FulIintel about her experience in data-driven brand storytelling.
In our conversation, we discussed Angela's studies that explain how to measure the impact of storytelling on audiences and how you can apply the same techniques to tell effective stories across platforms.
