Stop Blaming “Short Attention Spans”


Listen Later

Everyone says, “people don’t have attention spans anymore.”

But what they really don’t have… is patience.

In this episode of The Storyteller’s Edge, Ginger Zumaeta breaks down the real reason your content flops before it’s even heard—and shares her two-part Hook & Hold Formula that’s helped high-stakes communicators break through the noise.

You’ll learn:
→ Why attention is situational, not scarce

→ The 3 things that kill engagement in the first 10 seconds

→ What Ginger learned from a throwaway LinkedIn rant that accidentally went viral

→ How to find the one line your audience silently nods to

→ And how to keep them listening long after the hook
