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.

Howdy Reader! If you've been around these emails for a bit, you know I'm a book nerd. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, I've got a book in my hand. And that love started way back in grade school with a sci-fi series I could never quite remember. All I had were fragments. A boy gets a robot brother who looks just like him. They charge him up through a port in his belly button. Something happens at a swimming pool. That's it. That's all my brain held onto for forty-some years....
Howdy Reader! Quick question: how much of your story are you handing over to AI? This Friday, we're sitting down with Zac Brown, host of The Zac Brown Show. Zac just got back from his first Social Media Marketing World, AND he's writing a book called An Accidental Education. His whole approach is built around helping creators see their work as more than content. It's a world. It's an experience. It's a connection. We'll break down... → What he took away from his first SMMW as a creator → The...
Howdy Reader! If you caught my last email, you know I was supposed to be in Anaheim this week, soaking up Social Media Marketing World and taking the stage to talk about creating visuals with AI. Spoiler alert: I'm not in Anaheim. My back had other plans.
