Marc Tyler Nobleman helps people win buy-in for ideas everyone else has already written off.

Marc Tyler Nobleman is an author and keynote speaker who built a career on persistence. For years he fought to get comic book writer Bill Finger properly credited as co-creator of Batman. Bill helped build one of the world's most famous characters and got no credit for it. Marc's picture book, Bill the Boy Wonder, led to a Hulu documentary and finally changed the official record. In this episode, Marc talks about persistence, resilience, and how storytelling in business moves people to act — on stage, in a boardroom, or in life. He shares why the naysayers didn't stop him, how storytelling built suspense into his keynote, and when persistence turns into staying stuck. Good listening for leaders and speakers who want their story to land, and for anyone chasing something others call impossible.

Key topics: why facts alone don't change minds, the nine-year fight for credit, building suspense into a business story, knowing when persistence turns into staying stuck.
