The person with the deepest understanding isn't always the one who shapes the decision. That gap — between what someone knows and what others can see — is what David's story is about. In this episode of The Stories Behind the Stories, I go deeper into the failure, success and passion stories behind the character — and into the real pattern I was observing when I wrote him.RESOURCESHow to Turn Invisible Expertise Into Strategic Influence Through Storytelling.The Programme Behind the Story: The Art of WorkLife Storytelling: Creating Three Fundamental Stories That Define Your IdentityYour Three Stories TakeawayBefore you go — something to take with you.Your Success Story. What pattern do you see consistently that others consistently miss?Your Passion Story. What hidden value are you drawn to making visible?Your Failure Story.What valuable insight have you been keeping inside a format that hides it?Read the written version here: The Stories Behind the Stories: DavidA Note to ListenersEvery Thursday a new episode of The Stories Behind the Stories continues.From May 2026 — each new episode will be free for one week.After that it goes behind the subscriber paywall.One week to listen.One week to experience the learning.One week to build it into your working life.If an episode resonates — pass it to someone who would find it useful.A colleague.A client.A friend.That’s how this work finds the people it’s meant for.After one week each episode joins the back catalogue — available to subscribers only.Support the show
