About this listen
What do money, laws, and companies all have in common? They don’t physically exist the way a mountain or a tree does—but we behave as if they do. Why? Because we believe the stories behind them.
In this episode, we explore how storytelling became the foundation of systems that shape our daily lives. From the invention of money to the rise of brands and the rule of law, we unpack how shared fictions—built from language—hold societies, economies, and empires together.
This isn’t just about narrative—it’s about the power to organize belief, align behavior, and scale trust between strangers. If you’re building a business, leading a team, or just navigating modern life, this one’s for you.
