Astrolab: teaching leaders to communicate with stories, not slides 🎙📚

Most professionals are taught to communicate with bullet points, data, and long emails.
Very few are taught to communicate with stories.

In this episode, Andrés Oliveros, co-founder of Astrolab, shares how he went from studying law to helping founders, managers, and teams use storytelling and behavioral science to lead more effectively.

From his early career in a more traditional path, to taking the leap into entrepreneurship and workshops, Andrés walks through how Astrolab designs experiences that actually change how people show up: how they pitch, how they give feedback, how they convince others to move. He also talks about the challenge of building a network in the U.S. market, why relationships and trust still beat any growth hack, and where AI can support communication—and where it can’t replace the human touch.

In this episode:

📖 Why storytelling is a core leadership skill, not a “nice to have”

🌐 The reality of building a network and client base in the U.S.

🧠 How behavioral science and calm thinking improve decisions under stress

🤝 Why relationships, trust, and listening open new opportunities

🤖 Where AI fits in transactional communication—and where only humans can go

Featuring: Andrés Oliveros, Co-founder at Astrolab
A Draper Founder Spotlight conversation (Draper Startup House).
