“Humans are born storytellers. We can all do it. And it’s such an important part of all our lives. I think we’ve all been regaled by a great story that can inform you or inspire you or persuade you to do something. Stories are such powerful tools to do whatever it is that we’re trying to do, as we’re posting to social media.”

In today's High Five, marketing consultant and video producer/editor Michael Morreale joins me to give us encouraging tips for cultivating storytelling skills and sharing content on social media.

In today’s High Five, public art curator Katriina Campitelli shares valuable tips and techniques for taking care of ourselves and avoiding burnout.
