I've been a fan of Park Howell for a while now. I love the way he's reminded us all of the power of story to motivate, educate, inspire and entertain with his podcast The Business of Story. Before our ancestors learned to write, they communicated with stories, passing wisdom and survival skills down from generation to generation.
