I saw an X post recently about Kurt Vonnegut, a professor who explains stories in an extremely efficient way. And if you know anything about being human, we’re wired for stories — so it plays out in all areas of our lives involving communication.
Vonnegut plots his stories on two axes: X for time and Y for good or bad fortune. People love stories where someone gets into trouble and then out of it, which is incredibly fitting for micropreneurs.
