Paul du Toit Why Paul loves this book

Being an author on speaking and a professional speaker / facilitator I've always relied on stories and anecdotes to make a point. This book, flush with great real life examples confirmed that if you can tag a good story to your message it sticks much better. It also shows how every great company needs their story to be told. It's also a fun read.

As a content creator myself I had a negative slant toward AI, but this book opened my eyes to techniques of getting AI to do the dog work, allowing me to concentrate my efforts on creativity.
