Aggressively Human: Online Business in the Age of AI, Algorithms & Automations

Make a Scene and Embrace Your Stories with Mike Ganino


Listen Later

Have you ever sat through a slide deck that felt like death-by-bullet-point? Or tried to sound like a LinkedIn thought leader only to bore yourself?

Have you ever struggled to consider yourself “interesting” when you haven’t gone to space or climbed a mountain?

Most importantly, how can you tell a story that AI cannot replace?

Story coach and speaker whisperer Mike Ganino joins us to talk about how to actually connect with other humans through storytelling, public speaking, and intentional presence. We talk about what’s missing when AI writes your copy, how to make your keynote more than just a case study, and why the most aggressively human thing you can do is show up—with your voice, your weirdness, and your body and breath. We talk about what job AI can’t do, why “tell your story” is often the worst advice, and how the most impactful stories usually come from Tuesdays, not TED Talks.

* How to pull stories from your actual life (even if they happened on a random Tuesday)

* What ChatGPT can and can’t do—and why public speaking is still a human-only activity

* Breaking free from the drip of consumption and embracing the interiority within us and around us.

* How to find your “inner interesting”, and how to transform extraordinary tales into relatable, personable stories.

* Why “tell your story” is terrible advice—and what to do instead

* How book marketing breaks your nervous system and what our favorite GIFs reveal about us
