MP3•Episode home

89% of consumers say storytelling creates lasting brand loyalty—but most entrepreneurs are still stuck perfecting their sales pages and funnels instead of crafting stories that stick.

In this solo episode, I kick off a brand new five-part series based on the incredible book Stories That Stick by Kindra Hall. I break down why stories beat data every time, the brain science behind storytelling, and introduce you to the four essential types of stories every entrepreneur must master to rise above the noise, build trust, and move people to action.

If you’re tired of struggling for attention online and want to build deep, lasting connections with your audience—this series is your blueprint.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why data gives people something to think about—but stories give them something to act on
The science behind why storytelling taps into emotion, memory, and trust
The basic structure every powerful story must follow (normal → explosion → new normal)
The four types of stories that every business needs: Value, Founder, Purpose, and Customer Stories
How storytelling is the key to thriving in today’s noisy, transactional market
Why your next breakthrough won’t come from tweaking—it will come from telling

Key Takeaways
✔️Stories are 22x more memorable than facts alone.
✔️Connection—not attention—is the new currency of marketing.
✔️Good marketing doesn’t sell a product—it tells a story that invites transformation.
✔️Your founder story humanizes your brand and builds trust faster than any ad.
✔️Customer stories act as referrals, not marketing—they show real, relatable proof.
✔️The era of transactional marketing is over—the age of storytelling is here.
✔️You don’t need to be a perfect writer—you just need to be a real storyteller.
