Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse sit down with Gretchen Barton of Future Majority and Worthy Strategy Group to talk about the power of narrative and why politicians should make Americans the hero of the story in their messaging.

She has written for the Journal of College Student Development and the American Journal of Health Behavior, and co-authored, Prevalence and Profile: Hazing Among College Students and Points of Intervention. She recently co-authored “The Science of Winning with Stories: Using Agency, Urgency, and Community,” a science-based explanation of why storytelling is the most effective form to engage and move a populace.
