## Overview

We are all storytellers. Few of us are storybuilders, capable of not only understanding the structure of story but able to use it to connect to the people who consume it.

Story has a form, one that Stefan Mumaw, the Director of Creative Strategy at the well-known story shop Hint, is going to break down for you. He'll lay out the structure of story and use real-world examples to show how each story component is used to build an emotional bridge.

Stefan will show just how powerful story can be for creating connection and empathy.
