Show Notes

Highlights:

J.J. says that the mission of StoryBrand is to help companies see themselves not as the hero of their story, but the guide, is a big reason he loves what he does.
Healthy teams not only work together, but play together by creating bonds, connection, and a memory you can build upon. Building every day moments everyone on your team will remember unites the team.
When having a hard conversation, first the other person must know you have their best interest at heart, but that doesn't mean you can't be angry in the moment. Have a plan for moving forward for accountability.
Creativity is closely tied to physical health - getting quality sleep, eating healthy foods, and proper hydration.
