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 folder on your hard drive with a book in it. Or a course, or the guide you keep meaning to build. It has been in there a while, and you know exactly which folder I mean. This Friday we're sitting down with Lisa DiNoto Glassner of The Castle Run, and her first book comes out the week after. She left a Big Law career, built a business around what she actually loves, and then finished the book. Seventeen chapters, about two hundred and fifty pages, published under her...
Howdy Reader! Time for something I don't bring up much. I've been playing the five-string banjo since before junior high. I know what you're thinking. How did a banjo kid keep the girls away all through junior high and high school? The guitar guys had nothing on me. Nothing! Because guitar says “sensitive singer-songwriter.” A banjo says “I enjoy being stuffed in a locker with my underwear pulled up around my ears.” You can't see security keeping all the girls from rushing the stage Here's...
Howdy Reader! This week on Creator News Live, I sat down with Mike Potter, the founder of Macstock Conference and Expo and the host of For Mac Eyes Only, one of the longest running independent Apple podcasts around. The idea that stuck with me: anyone can build an audience, but a community is a different thing. An audience claps when you post. A community shows up, travels, and comes back year after year.
