Between Us Story Lab™ is where long-form dialogue meets rigorous research. We study how conversations shape identity, decisions, and culture — and we build the frameworks that help institutions speak with lasting clarity.
The applied, institutional arm of our research. Story Lab™ is where Narrative Intelligence™ is taken inside organisations — through embedded, invitation-only observational research. Designed to identify where narratives begin to drift, where trust erodes, and where leadership communication creates unintended consequences.
Santosh Kumar is a storyteller, researcher, and longform thinker whose work brings together institutional observation and narrative depth. His background across sales, strategy, and training environments within Fortune 50 contexts shaped the foundation of BUSL: the belief that how people and institutions speak reveals far more than they intend
We live in a time when more is being communicated, but less is being understood. Institutions speak constantly, yet coherence is rare. Narrative Intelligence™ matters because it helps us examine whether what people and institutions say about themselves actually aligns with what they do- especially under pressure.
The Between Us podcast is the public dialogue platform for Between Us Story Lab™, where long-form conversation meets rigorous research. Each recording is a Story of how individuals and insitutions think, decide, and act under real life conditions.
