BBY Show S9 Ep9: Exploring society through fiction

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Fiction helps us see how inextricably linked we are and how we fit into the wider world.

Our behavior and our mindset are shaped by the world we live in - by the communities we live in, by the schools we go to, by the things we choose to follow and engage in.

Courage is the root of change, and change is what we are chemically designed to do - from Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.
