FIR Interview: Lee LeFever of Common Craft

The Art of ExplanationLee LeFever, founder of explainer video company Common Craft, is out with a new book, “The Art of Explanation.” Far too few explanations are included in most communication and marketing efforts; the focus is on selling instead of explaining the whats and whys people may be wondering about. Common Craft’s well-known “In Plain English” videos set a standard for how a clear, easy-to-understand explanation can add value to a communication effort.

In this FIR interview, co-host Shel Holtz chats with LeFever about the book, Common Craft and explanations in general.
