Can you really learn from peers? From reading, from books, form Webinars and podcasts? If you can distill, you can. It is difficult to retain details but the broad idea stays. That\u2019s why mental models are useful for success (Charlie Munger) and storytelling is so effective. The first time I heard Brian Chesky on Masters of Scale talking about customer experience rating and imagining what a 11star experience would be like – it stayed with me. Through numerous retelling (exactly like stories – the ones we like we tell others) it went deeper into my consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So it is not without reason I loved this post by David Cummings wrote about the role of story telling as opposed to detail telling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Story-telling<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Formula one : \u201cMy company _________ helps businesses like (social proof) make more money by (actual service)\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce upon a time, a young man left his glasses on an airplane. He tried to buy new glasses. But new glasses were expensive. \u201cWhy is it so hard to buy stylish glasses without spending a fortune on them?\u201d he wondered….. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce upon a time, a young man left his glasses on an airplane. He tried to buy new glasses. But new glasses were expensive. \u201cWhy is it so hard to buy stylish glasses without spending a fortune on them?\u201d he wondered. He returned to school and told his friends. \u201cWe should start a company to sell amazing glasses for non-insane prices,\u201d said one. \u201cWe should make shopping for glasses fun,\u201d said another. \u201cWe should distribute a pair of glasses to someone in need for every paid sold\u201d, said a third. Eureka! Warby Parker was born.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
