By engaging the store owners as teachers, the McDermotts were able to build a network of expert mentors who wanted to see the neophytes win.

Neophytes score points for daring to do the impossible, something catchers see as refreshing.

When it was Alan’s turn, he dumped four boxes of prototype cereal onto the mahogany conference table, to the stunned silence of the executives. Ignoring protocol, he began constructing an elaborate fort, all the while talking furiously about the qualities of the corn flour that kept the pieces and the structure together.

He then proceeded to lead his catchers through an exciting, detailed narrative of his film, as a master storyteller would. At the end, the executives sat back, smiling, and told the writer they’d like to go ahead with his idea.
