Show Notes
IN this episode of Strategic Storytelling, we explore why your real, everyday stories—not dramatic or overly polished ones—are often the most powerful for your content.
As an example, I talk about ]how comedian Loni Love stayed true to her voice despite pressure to "play a character," and how that lesson applies directly to your brand storytelling.
If you've ever been told your story isn’t “exciting” enough, or you're not being "vulnerable" enough, this episode is for you.
