Your host, Gerry Foster, talks with the CEO of Catapult Bookwriting, Mike Ulmer. Mike specializes in helping individuals uncover and share their unique stories, a skill that is invaluable in the world of branding. In this blog post, I'll share some of the key insights from our discussion, which touched on everything from baseball to taxation.
Mike delved into the importance of having a signature story and how it can be leveraged in various aspects of branding, including social media, books, and speaking engagements. Mike explained that uncovering one's story often involves digging deep into formative experiences, failures, and valuable lessons learned.
He shared an example of a business consultant who, having grown up feeling insecure about money, eventually ventured into wealth management to help others avoid that feeling. This story not only gives insight into the consultant's values and mission but also makes him more relatable and trustworthy.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
