Inside Episode 028: In this episode we give you some techniques on how to utilize the power of emotion. How to dial up the engagement between you and a listener every single time


Key Takeaways
  • We want to feel something in your pitch. Don’t pitch the entire story. Get us emotionally invested.
  • Think in terms of a tweet or 30 seconds or less. It’s your job to get us invested within those timeframes and you have to be able to deliver.
  • Do not use established properties to carry the emotional response of your story.
  • Leave genre out of it. Genre makes up about 1% of this pie. Your story and the heart of it is the other 99%.
  • Get to the heart of your story. Get to the core truth and core message of it and pitch that.
  • If your story doesn’t have a heart, you’re going to have a hard time pitching. It is your obligation to make sure your pitch has soul.
  • Get us thinking. Get us immersed. Captivate us.
