Dr Rod Berger is an expert in the art of storytelling, an interviewer, and the author of the upcoming book The Narrative Edge. In this conversation, we explore why vulnerability is the key to powerful storytelling, how stories shape our identity, and why facts alone rarely move people. From ancient myths to modern brands, Dr Berger reveals how stories connect us, build trust, and influence the way we see ourselves and the world.
