Stories are More Memorable than Facts
So telling a good story is essential for attracting customers, investors, co-founders, and employees. But what if your story is sort of weird and unconventional?
Brian Hayden recently interviewed me for his Finding Your Venture Podcast. We had a great conversation  about telling - and evolving - an unconventional story as I launched my first tech company.

When you talk about your company and ask for help, youâre activating a support network that can help you. And if youâre a decent person then your network is huge and powerful, even if you donât know it.
