Sometimes the most important things are the less obvious, and because I’ve been thinking a lot about the topic of storytelling, I’d love to leave you with one quote and one video.

And the second thing I’d love to leave you with is a video of Doug Richard of Library House – and a former “dragon” at BBC Two’s Dragons Den – on building a business. It’s a pretty short video (I’d love to see more from him) but it packs quite a punch. Don’t miss this:

Be inspired. Tell stories. Start a business.
