People ask us, “How did you become a lawyer (or a doctor or an air conditioning repair man)?” or “How did you catch that big fish?” We have stories about how those things happened.
Stories are a way for us to get to know people and for people to get to know us, even if it is in a small way. Stories can teach others; it can entertain; it can move people through a journey of emotions.
Always remember, TELL THE STORY!
It's always about "THE STORY"!
