8. Become a Better Storyteller by Watching Stand-up Comedy (seriously, this works!)

Season 1 Episode 8 Published 3 years, 7 months ago
Description

Forget reading all the "how-to" books to become a masterful storyteller. In this episode, I'm sharing the homework assignment I gave my students in Easy Emails for Impact.

The homework assignment? Watch 15 minutes of stand-up comedy before our next session.

Here's why there's magic (and a method) you can apply from my favorite comedians:

  • Creating a simple hook to engage your audience immediately
  • A compelling story arc without sounding like a high school 5-paragraph essay
  • Super approachable and relatable, normalizing fails and missteps 
  • Masterful editors! Say it with fewer words! (this is a game-changer when you apply it to your own messaging)

Draw inspiration from your favorite comedians because it's a lot more fun to laugh, write with ease, connect with your ideal audience, build trust, and grow your business.

Plus, learn how to transition from a story to an irresistible call-to-action seamlessly!
