Professional Summary
Most everyone has heard someone tell a wildly entertaining true story that left them wondering, how much of
that was fact and how much was fiction? While such stories can captivate audiences in the short term, they don't
engender trust in the story teller. In order to get an audience to buy into your story, it has to be authentic to the core.
That's what I specialize in. Every story I tell not only entertains, it spews authenticity and garners belief in the brand.
I don't just tell stories; I sell them. For proof, visit davidvmead.weebly.com.
