In this episode, Chabidaye and Natalie discuss:
 

• Stories as a communication tool 
• Our neurochemical response to stories
• Three stories that everyone can tell 
• Making your audience feel something
   

Key Takeaways:

 

• Stories have a universal appeal, it’s an effective tool of communication for everyone of all ages. 
• Listening to a story releases a neurochemical, Oxytocin, in our body. That’s the chemical that helps build bonds, elicits empathy and cooperation. It also motivates positive reciprocal behavior. 
• There are three types of stories that everyone can tell: stories of continuity, novelty, or transition. These are all good places to start to create a narrative. 
• Whenever you tell a story, your audience feels something. They may forget the story that you said, or what it’s even about, but they’re never going to forget how you made them feel. 

"When we hear good stories with characters, narrative, and struggles… the city of our brain lights up, all areas are ignited. " —  Natalie Alcantara
