  • Nasruddin’s Note

    Nasruddin’s Note

    · Once Upon a Business

    Lisa tells the tale of a wise fool who plays a single note on his instrument, confident in his unique sound. She then explores the tension between originality and tradition, urging entrepreneurs to find their authentic voice while repurposing existing ideas to create something powerful and distinct.

    Story Coach Lisa Bloom is the go-to expert on business story-telling. For decades she’s helped entrepreneurs master this important but overlooked skill. In Once Upon a Business, she’s turning her attention from the craft of storytelling to the stories themselves — the densely evocative folk and fairy tales that we’re all exposed to.

    In each episode of Once Upon a Business, Lisa tells a fairy or folk tale and then extracts rich business lessons that are applicable for entrepreneurs of all stripes. As she puts it, a tiny tale of nine sentences can encompass worlds.

    So, come now. Gather around the fire. Lisa’s about to begin….

    “When Nasradin played the instrument on and on, he played the same note, the very same note, for hours. His wife was going crazy.” — Lisa Bloom

    Host Bio:

    Following a successful corporate career, Lisa Bloom became an entrepreneur, author, speaker and coach.
