This week, it’s?Shawn’s turn to share a story. He retells an anecdote Ryan Reynolds shared on?My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.

The story?makes several?meaningful business points, including:

• Present a united front to avoid bad outcomes;
• Look out for your colleagues; and
• Consider what lengths your people would go to for you.?

It reminds us?of the story Mark shared in?024 – U2 can protect your tribe. We also discuss a study involving a?functional MRI machine included in?our paper on the science of storytelling.
