Summary

Andy Henriquez turned a rejected job application into a masterclass in human influence — and the only tool he used was a 30-second story. Andy Henriquez is a business storytelling coach, founder of the Master Storyteller Academy and the Million Dollar Storyteller Mastermind, and a keynote speaker who has trained executives at Google, Accenture, Bacardi, and Pratt & Whitney. He's a protégé of the legendary Les Brown — and in this conversation, he makes a compelling case that storytelling isn't a soft skill; it's the most underutilized negotiation weapon you already own. This is one of those rare episodes where the guest doesn't just talk about their craft — they demonstrate it in real time, and Kwame admits on mic that this conversation fundamentally changed how he shows up as a speaker and negotiator.
