The Mirasee FM podcast team chooses their favorite episode of 2024 to close out the year. In this pick, Lisa tells the story of the parts of the body debating which of them is most important. At once silly and profound, it speaks volumes about how businesses operate and how they will find success, once they get to the heart of what matters.
Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business story-telling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.
In each episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa tells a fairy or folk tale and then extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes. As she puts it, a tiny tale of nine sentences can encompass worlds.
So, come now. Gather around the fire. Lisa’s about to begin….
