#20 - Chris Hare: Narratives, Vision, Purpose, and The Future of Storytelling

In this episode, we talk to Chris Hare, CEO of The Storied Future and the host of The Storied Future Podcast.

To start, we define what storytelling really is, what is the difference between stories and narratives, and how storytelling, and, specifically, atomic stories, helps businesses imagine the future, build strategies, and grow.

We talk about how the change forces people and businesses to adopt and survive by creating stories and considering different possible futures.

Chris shares a personal story that illuminated the profound influence narratives wield over our thoughts and interactions. We discuss the synergy of data and humanity, and the untapped tales that lie within data waiting to be discovered. Chris elucidates his mission to guide startup CEOs in forging captivating visions and shaping the future to their design, illustrated by inspiring real-world anecdotes.

Further, Chris shares his experience with the Storied Future Podcast that he hosts and the stories his guests shared with him, the stories that transformed them as people and helped them to transform their companies. We examine the pivotal role of human-centric leadership, the quest for purpose, and the crafting of internal narratives.

At the end, we challenge prevailing assumptions about the salvation of humanity through boundless computing power, AI, and technology. We highlight the societal impact, igniting a collective longing for purpose and profound connections. Together, we envision a future that prioritizes humanity, where individuals are empowered to forge bonds and inspire one another—a truly human-first future.
