What's the difference between a brand narrative and something people actually believe?

THE ANSWER

A narrative is what you say. A history is what survives someone checking. Data proves you're competent; a specific, particular story (a history) proves you've actually been there — and only one of those two builds trust. Stop telling stories. Start telling histories.
