The Doughnut That Nearly Ended My Career | 50th Episode Storytime with Marsha Shandur
In this special 50th episode, I thought we’d do something a bit different. I’m sharing two stories – one of which is from my forthcoming book – Think Like a Film Crew. It’ll have you on the edge of your seat. And might even put you off doughnuts - I didn’t eat another one for over 10 years.
And so it’s more than just tales of patisserie trauma, I’ve brought in storytelling expert Marsha Shandur - she breaks down the science behind why these stories work and offers actionable tips to make your own business stories even more engaging and impactful.
Join us for giggling, foolishness + how a womans’ exercise leggings shocked me more than I could say.
Marsha is an author, skilled persuasive story coach, sales expert and host of True Stories (Told Live) in Toronto – which if you possibly can, do try and get to one of their events.
