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! If you hosted a meetup and ten people came, would you call it a win? Most of us wouldn't. DJ Strick would. "10 people in the room is a big deal," he says. Strick spent 13 years on the radio in Birmingham. Now he's building that city's podcast scene, one small room at a time. He started the Birmingham Podcasters Collective, put on a Podcast Summit at Innovation Depot, and hosts a weekly show about the people moving Birmingham forward. Today we're sitting down with Strick, who...
Howdy Reader! In July, Marielou Mandl shipped more than nine client videos, did on-site production, and got engaged. She still felt like she had done nothing. It wasn't that she hadn't worked. It was that none of the work was hers. Client work comes with a deadline and someone waiting on it, and her own channel came with neither, so it got put on the back burner every time. Now, every Friday, her company books her as the client. The project gets shot, edited, and published that same day, or...
Howdy Reader! Truth time... This one's going to be short. (I know. You're devastated.) I'm getting ready to speak at Ecamm's Creator Camp, and right after that I head to Momentum. That's two stages back-to-back, so my life right now is slide decks, clicker tests, and rehearsing out loud to an empty office like a man who lost an argument with his imaginary AI friend. So this time YOU do the talking. You've sat through more presentations than you can count (conferences, webinars, that one...
