Upon hearing that he was a storyteller with a degree in electrical engineering, someone once asked Ron Ploof if he was a modern Renaissance man. “No,” he responded. “I’m just a socially well-balanced geek.”
His interest in social media began in 2005 when he launched one of the world’s first indie storytelling podcasts called, Griddlecakes Radio: Exploring the Lost Art of Audio Storytelling. He founded a social media consulting firm in 2008, wrote a book, Read This First: The Executive’s Guide to Social Media in 2009, and was the manager of social media for Epson America from 2012 to 2015.
But his first love has always been to communicate through storytelling. He once used a Hula Hoop to demonstrate a hemispherical resonating gyroscope to a large audience, explained mixed-signal simulation techniques using Lego® bricks and Velcro®, and sold professional services by telling stories rather than riddling customers with bullet points.
Ron has produced an audio book about the American Revolution, written a job-skills book as a novel, and is the creator of The StoryHow™ PitchDeck, a deck of playing cards that helps business people convert their ideas, messages, and presentations into memorable narratives.
He’s @ronploof on Twitter, blogs at storyhow.com, and if you ever meet him in person, make sure to ask him about “The Bionic Girl.”
