How storytellers are defining the future of the web with Ricky Robinson

In this episode of The Craft, our host Rachel Westbury welcomes Ricky Robinson, CEO of Shorthand.

Ricky explores the democratisation of storytelling, and how digital tools are allowing for continuous innovation online. 

As Ricky says, “It might feel like we've already pushed the web to its limits, but there are whole new dimensions of magic to be discovered in what's possible within a web browser and how that translates into brilliant new ways to conjure emotion, transmit knowledge, and move minds and hearts. I know, because like we're hard at work on this stuff.”

Listen as Rachel and Ricky discuss making hard decisions as an entrepreneur, embracing emerging technologies, and his vision for the future of storytelling and for Shorthand.
