If you’ve ever struggled to connect with your clients or wondered how to make your website work harder for you, this episode is a must-listen. I’m joined by Karen Bartos, a certified StoryBrand Guide, who’s here to help us unravel the secrets of crafting a compelling business narrative.

We’ll explore how to position your clients as the heroes of their own stories, how to identify and solve their problems, and how to guide them to success using clear, actionable steps. 

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your brand message, these insights could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
