This page is for anyone looking to sharpen their story skills, but if you prefer professional help, check out work with Nick.
Business storytelling is art, science and strategy. If you are looking to go deep, start with Story.Business. If shallow is more your thing, join the podcast.
Start your journey into the art and science of business storytelling. The rabbit hole goes way deeper than you think.
“Grow up, Nick. You aren’t ruthless enough to build a business. You’d hate the sleazy selling.”
5-minutes a day on story, strategy or whatever’s yanked my chain. No guests. No ads. No nonsense apologies.

The Business Storytelling Glossary lists the concepts, ideas and definitions that use in my work. Your mileage will vary.
Papers, books and references related to storytelling science. You’ll need to grab a coffee before you get stuck in.

In 2020, I published a series of 19 podcasts on The Hero’s Journey, as revealed by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 classic, The Hero With A Thousand Faces.
