We invited Matthew on the show today, because we loved his book "Storyworthy: Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life through the Power of Storytelling." In our opinion, it's the best storytelling book ever written. Not only does Matthew tell compelling stories throughout, but he provides step-by-step instructions for creating your own stories, in his heart-felt, humorous style. It's an entertaining and highly informative book for anyone who wants to change their life, business, career and the world through storytelling.

Matthew's Favorite Quote

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
