A Storytelling special collection of Business901 podcasts. The topics range from Transmedia Storytelling to How to structure and tell business stories.

This might be an endorsement; I own the book in both audio and as a Kindle. The book is short, to the point and will make an impact on how you tell your organization’ story. Dan can be found at The Portnoy Media Group.   Annette Simmons wrote the book, The Story Factor (2nd Revised Edition), and a hidden gem, Territorial Games. The Story Factor became a classic when 800-CEO-READ named it in their book as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time (Penguin, 2009).

As an award-winning sports journalist, Sam Weinman has long studied the ripple effects of losing. But as a father of two competitive boys, he struggled to convince them that failing—whether losing a hockey game or bombing a math test—can actually be a critical part of success. So he sought out the perspectives of men and women who have turned significant setbacks into meaningful comebacks—and sometimes even new careers—to illustrate how we can not only overcome defeat but grow stronger from the experience.   In the interview, I turned it into a personal experience from raising my sons and associated experiences from the eSports world.   This was previously published as a video series.   Business901 iTunes Store   Mobile Version   New Accessibility for the Business901 Podcast

First learning about Isaac Lidsky in his popular TED Talk “What reality are you creating for yourself?” the former Saved by the Bell teen star-turned-entrepreneur Isaac recalls how the clerk he waved to in the store was really a mannequin; how he reached down to wash his hands and realized it was a urinal and not a sink. Objects appeared, morphed, and disappeared in his reality, as he learned of his diagnosis at thirteen: Retinitis Piegmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that would lead to his blindness by age 25. I was very impressed by Isaac and enjoyed the interview; amazed by his presence of mind.     After initially believing his blindness was a death sentence that signaled the end of his independence and achievement, Isaac Lidsky found other pathways of perception, turning his life around with his own philosophy. In his new book EYES WIDE OPEN: Overcoming Obstacles and Recognizing Opportunities in a World That Can't See Clearly, Lidsky explores what it really means to see eyes wide open. Dispelling the notion of disability, Isaac found his true vision and courage to overcome adversity, and achieve a remarkable range of accomplishments. By reframing our fears as fiction, we too can channel our strengths, skills, and luck to achieve any goal.   Business901 iTunes Store   Mobile Version   New Accessibility for the Business901 Podcast
