The bottom line is: You\'ve got something to say AND you know it\'s important, BUT you\'re having trouble boiling it down to its powerful and essential core, THEREFORE you need the ABT Framework.
It\'s at the core of everything memorable because it is Narrative itself.
You can see it in the Gettysburg Address, nursery rhymes, argumentation, comic structure, myths, the billion-viewed Call Me Maybe song from Carlie Rae Jepsen, the 1600\'s poem To His Coy Mistress, blockbuster movies - on and on.
