The story you tell yourself

There is one more audience for the six stories, and I have left them until the end on purpose. It is you.

The seventh audience

The principle from the start of the system, that humans understand their lives as stories, does not stop applying when the listener is the teller. You narrate your own working life to yourself while you are living it, and on the hard days, the quality of that private story is not a luxury. It is operational. The founder who privately narrates themselves as an impostor who is just holding on makes different decisions from the one who knows, in scenes and specifics, why this work became necessary and what it has already changed. Same facts. Different depth. You have seen across these four parts what that gap does to an audience. It does exactly the same thing to you.
