What Makes Stories Stick? Let’s Talk Strategies That Work

Howdy Reader! If you’re anything like me, you're slowly walking up from the football and tryptophan hangover from overindulging in yesterday’s Thanksgiving festivities. If you’re reading this from somewhere other than the U.S. I hope you had a productive Thursday with many, fewer calories. And now, the Christmas season is upon us! Fun fact, “Jingle Bells” wasn’t always a Christmas favorite. Initially composed in 1857 as “One Horse Open Sleigh,” James Pierpont wrote it as a Thanksgiving Day song. The tune became such a Christmas sensation that by 1859, it was renamed “Jingle Bells.” Even back then, people had no control over what goes viral! You may never crack the code of what goes viral, but you CAN learn how to tell your brand’s story. That’s what my good friend Peg Fitzpatrick and I talked about in this week's show. I recently was fortunate to have Peg on the show to discuss her new book, The Art of Small Business Social Media: A Blueprint for Marketing Success.

Howdy Reader! I just finished binge-watching "Light & Magic" on Disney+ and I can't stop thinking about it. This docuseries chronicles how Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) went from a scrappy team working out of a Los Angeles warehouse to becoming the most innovative visual effects studio in history. The cool thing about their story isn't just about making spaceships zoom across the screen or bringing dinosaurs to life. It's about something much more relevant to creators like us. Here are three...
Howdy Reader! Quick confession: half the reason I host Social Media News Live is because live-chat dopamine is cheaper than espresso. If you've ever posted something brilliant and watched it flat-line, you know that "Like" withdrawals are very real. We've all been there - crafting the perfect post only to hear crickets in the comments section. It's enough to make you question your social media sanity! That's why I'm bringing in the dopamine doctor herself this week. Brooke Sellas—CEO of B...
Howdy Reader! You know what's better than a superhero origin story? A spicy condiment origin story. (Though I'll never turn down a good Marvel movie... they just keep coming. But that's a spicy take for another day.) Anyway, today’s email brings you one of my favorites, AND it’s one of my favorite condiments EVER!
