Mullets and storytelling? Not to be missed power secrets

August 5, 2023

Mullets where do you stand on them? Love them, Hate β€˜em or do you sport one!

 β€˜Business in the front, party in the back’, is how they are described in the 2001 movie Joe Dirt. This is the exact opposite of business storytelling. Business storytelling is all party in the front and business at the back!
