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!

Howdy Reader! There is a profile on the internet with your name on it that you've not edited in about three years. Other people are looking at it. Two things changed on LinkedIn this year. The feed stopped running on your own network, and only about a third of what people see now comes from their own connections, so your posts land in front of strangers. At the same time, AI assistants started reading LinkedIn to answer questions like "who should I hire for this?" So now we know both new...
Howdy Reader! Mike Allton is one of my BBFs (which stands for Before Beard Friend). I've known him since the Google Plus days, which, in internet years, was right after AOL stopped sending you floppy discs. So when he asked me to join his new podcast, The AI Social Playbook, I said yes before he finished the sentence. He had me walk through the animated open for The Makers Table, my Friday craft show with Katie Fawkes. Claymation-style, twelve scenes, two characters who still look like the...
Howdy Reader! Eighteen Disney Legends. Twenty years of conversations. And almost none of them used the word magic. They said curious. They said story. They said detail. They said we tried it, it did not work, and we tried something else. Today, we're sitting down with Lou Mongello, host and creator of WDW Radio and a Podcast Hall of Fame inductee, who has been sitting across the table from the people who actually built Disney since 2005.
