If you’ve ever wondered why your offer isn’t converting — even though your service is great and the testimonials are solid — this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the real reason people buy: emotion. Not features. Not stats. But the power of a good story.

You’ll learn how storytelling works on the brain, how brands like Apple and Nike use it masterfully, and most importantly, how you can start mining your everyday moments to create content that connects and sells.

Whether you’re writing a sales page, crafting an email, or posting on social media, the right story can be the difference between someone scrolling past and someone saying, “YES — I need this.”

What You’ll Discover in the Episode:

-> Why facts tell, but stories sell (and how that works in the brain)

-> How even the smallest story (like brushing your dog’s teeth!) can influence buying decisions

-> What makes stories more trustworthy than testimonials or logos

-> Where to find stories in your everyday life (even if you think you have “nothing to share”)

-> How to share stories without oversharing

-> The different types of stories to use at different points in the customer journey (socials, emails, sales pages)

-> Why using other people’s stories (case studies, client wins, etc.) is just as powerful as your own
