In this episode, we sit down with legendary storyteller Neal Foard — a man who spent decades shaping the voice of brands like Budweiser, Toyota, and Sony, before stepping out from behind the curtain to tell stories that actually matter: the stories of us.
Neal has become famous for something rare — reminding people that the world is still full of decency if you’re willing to look for it. With his fireside-chat style videos on LinkedIn, he captures small human moments that feel bigger than any ad campaign he ever created.
Neal unpacks the stories that shaped him — including the unforgettable lesson he learned as a young man when his father’s car broke down on the side of the road. They explore why certain moments hit us in the heart, what Neal learned from a lifetime in the ad world, why humility is a superpower, and how “it costs zero dollars to be a decent human being.”
Episode 34 is a reminder that the smallest gestures can change everything — and that great storytelling begins with paying attention.
