We, humans, are inherently drawn to stories as a medium for learning and accessing information. But many bankers erroneously think that they don't have any good stories to tell, therefore they don't even try to tell stories
Every small business needs a relationship with its community banks to help them prosper, and sharing examples of your work through storytelling will create a connection that benefits both parties.
Efforts to make storytelling a strategic initiative will yield long-term benefits, so think about examples and themes you can leverage.

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.
