Ever wondered how playfulness can transform business narratives and foster deeper connections? In this episode, Chris chats with Tobin Trevarthen, a strategic narrative expert who reveals how his journey from nightclub DJ to corporate storyteller has shaped his unique approach to helping businesses and executives find their voice. Tobin shares his fascinating career path, which includes roles at major media organizations and the creation of innovative narrative frameworks. He explains how his experience as a DJ taught him to "read the room" and facilitate emotional connections - skills that would later prove invaluable in his corporate work. Through his company Spatial Shift, he now helps brands and executives craft their strategic narratives, drawing from what he calls his "cookbook of recipes" built over 30 years of experience. In this engaging conversation, Chris and Tobin explore how playfulness manifests in unexpected ways - from creating corporate narratives to fostering generational understanding in the workplace.
