Using Humor in Storytelling – Kathy Klotz-Guest

In this episode I talk with speaker, author, and improv comedian, Kathy Klotz-Guest ( @kathyklotzguest ). Kathy left the Silicon Valley hustle but she didn’t leave her passion for telling better stories and banishing boring marketing behind. Kathy and I talk about how business storytelling drives great marketing, innovation and culture and how she came up with the term, #jargonmonoxide.
