Carmine Gallo, a popular keynote speaker, reveals the secret to telling powerful stories that inspire, motivate, educate, build brands, launch movements, and change lives. A clear, convincing narrator, he reads with vigor and confidence, emphasizing the need to find one's passion and learn how to communicate. His examples of successful business people support his recommendations. Both Gallo's book and pleasant voice are well suited to the audio format, and his presentation style, especially his consistent pacing, blend well with the content of his work. He convinces listeners that the ability to tell their story persuasively is the most important skill they need to accomplish their dreams. As a storyteller, he provides a compelling listening experience. S.C.A. 2017 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

An engaging experience.
This audiobook deals with everything from the historic investments that led to world-dominating companies, such as the Chinese technology company Tencent, to predicting the products and services of the future. An audiobook of such complexity requires a narrator who can handle the task, and David Thorpe manages it admirably. Thorpe uses his masterly voice, which sits somewhere between that of a BBC World Service presenter and an easy, relaxed Home Counties accent, to guide listeners through a sea of numbers, acronyms, and terms such as YP, RPS, and market cap. Rather than simply reading, Thorpe presents the work with excitement and enthusiasm, and this enjoyment transfers to the listener.
