We all have a story to tell. Whether you're a builder, a salesperson, or a marketer, stories are how we connect with people. In this episode of Building Perspective, Steve Daugherty—a pastor, podcaster, and author—joins us to discuss the ancient art form of storytelling, and how this skill can be improved every day. Listen to what Steve has to say about how stories surround and shape our daily lives.
