Pre-Order The Chief Storytelling Officer HERE: https://amzn.to/4eihvql"Commercials interrupt people. Shows invite them into the story world. That is the difference between traditional marketing and storytelling." — Rain BennettYour marketing campaign strategy is perfectly executed... and it still flops. The visuals are crisp, the copy is tight, and nobody cares. In this solo episode, Rain breaks down the real reason most marketing fails: it isn't a production problem, it's a storytelling problem. When your marketing isn't rooted in a clear brand purpose, it becomes what Rain calls "story yelling," which is loud, scattered, and ultimately forgettable. This is the fifth installment of the Narrative Operating System series, and it's where brand building and marketing strategy finally collide.Rain walks through how the Chief Storytelling Officer fits into your marketing function. Not to replace your CMO, but to ensure every campaign, every message, and every piece of content traces back to the brand narrative your company intentionally chose. The CSO's job isn't to ask "does this say what we want to say?" It's to ask "does this make people feel what we want them to feel?" That distinction is the entire difference between brand storytelling and traditional advertising.Using Yeti, Cali BBQ, and the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation as case studies, Rain shows how the most effective marketing strategies aren't campaigns at all—they're story worlds. He introduces the Content Cascade model as a practical framework for building tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single unified brand messaging strategy. And before you go, he breaks down which metrics actually reflect meaningful connection (watch time, saves, comments, shares) and which vanity metrics to stop reporting on entirely. If your brand purpose is clear but your marketing still feels scattered, this episode is your blueprint. In this episode, you will learn to:Understand the difference between story yelling and storytelling—and which one your brand is currently doingUse the Content Cascade model to build tent pole projects, supporting stories, and audience amplifiers from a single narrativeReplace vanity metrics with story metrics that actually measure connection and community growthAvoid the traps of trend chasing, channel hopping, and virality chasing that derail most marketing strategiesAudit your last 10 pieces of marketing to see if they stem from one unified brand narrative or exist as isolated piecesLINKS AND RESOURCESEpisodes Referenced:EP 225 → Brand: How It Feels to Be Part of Your Story WorldEP 230 → Product: Where Your Story Gets ProvenGuest Referenced → Sean Walcheff, Cali Barbecue Media → https://www.calibbq.mediaOrganization Referenced → Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation → https://www.ncf.net/Book → The Chief Storytelling Officer by Rain Bennett → Coming August 25th https://amzn.to/4eihvqlFor more storytelling tips and strategies, visitWebsite → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

In San Francisco, 2014, four great storytellers took the RISK! stage at SF Sketch Fest: Stephen Tobolowsky was directing the New York premiere of The Miss Firecracker Contest with Holly Hunter in the lead and a stalker with a ticket for opening night. The question of whether to go on becomes a different question entirely when Holly disappears into the basement holding what looks like a butcher knife. Dana Gould spent years as pen pal and friend to Maila Nurmi, the actress who invented Vampira, destitute and barely known, living in a converted garage. He reads from the last letter he wrote her. (Content note: child sexual abuse) Nato Green landed a yard-work job at 16, took about fifteen years to figure out what his employer actually wanted, and has some thoughts on what actually protects kids. Brendon Walsh got his hat ruined, his face rearranged, his brass knuckles confiscated, and his name put on a court docket, in that order.

Pressure isn't a sign you're off track; it's God breaking up the ground so your harvest can grow. In this panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson take us through Acts 6-10, revealing what real growth looks like when the foundation is tested. They challenge the myth that titles produce work, exposing that the most powerful servants were already doing the work before they ever received recognition. From Stephen's unwavering faith while being condemned to Philip's willingness to let go of the mantle so Paul could step into his purpose, this panel shows us that God doesn't promote titles, He promotes hearts. You'll discover that softening your heart daily, volunteering without expecting return, and keeping your eyes on Jesus instead of your accusers is what sustains you through pressure. These questions anchor our discussion: • Why do things become harder before recovery? • How do I soften my heart daily? • How do I check my spirit when volunteering, not to seek recognition? • What does it mean when God is trying to heal you, but you reject it?

When you look at someone's position, you see the glory. But do you see the weight? Pastor Keion Henderson unpacks what actually happened during the transfer of leadership at The Potter's House almost a year ago. Drawing from the biblical transfer between Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-15), he reveals how Elisha didn't ask for the position. He asked for the spirit that drove the man. Because every great move of God costs somebody something. When God calls you, He first asks you to change your plans to change someone else's world. And when you're tired? God says to get up because sometimes His answer to our discouragement is divine assignment. Pastor Henderson says the mantle only falls on motion. Elisha was working his 12 oxen when the call came. He wasn't waiting for perfection; he was faithful with what he had. And the mantle isn't just on the Roberts — it's on you. The church. A transfer is coming. What are you going to do with it?

One chilly Seattle night in February 2014, four storytellers on the RISK! stage said some things they probably wouldn't have otherwise said out loud. Dan Savage told the story of his early days writing Savage Love in Seattle, doing drag to hide his identity, and one late-night encounter that left him genuinely bewildered by his own desire. (Content note: murder, sexual assault) Kelleen Conway Blanchard grew up carrying fragments of a story no child should know: her cousin Pam was murdered in her apartment, and the man everyone suspected walked free. Twenty years later, a phone call changed what Kelleen knew, though not necessarily how it felt. Summer Waldron was freshly divorced, newly medicated for depression, and committed to a long-planned threesome. Then the night itself unraveled, pulled apart by side effects, a panicked call from her mother, and a body that had simply stopped cooperating. Emmett Montgomery nearly died of hypothermia on a high school survival trip in the Utah desert, hallucinating through every bad decision on the way there.

When her dad goes into cardiac arrest, the family descends on his hospital room in Memphis, and her Taiwanese grandmother, who has never previously mentioned being a healer, begins issuing instructions from a witch she met on a Carnival cruise. The spells escalate. So does everything else. Nick Hornedo has been falling for his girl best friends since he was a teenager, and he knows it's a problem.

Pain may be loud, but it doesn't get the final word. In “Help Is on the Way,” Sarah Jakes Roberts reminds us that God never asks us to ignore our pain, but He invites us to bring it into His presence. Gratitude and grief can exist in the same heart, and trusting God in the process is how we walk through it with Him. In John 14 and Lamentations 3, we discover how hope is born in the middle of hardship, why pain doesn't have to paralyze your praise, and how the Holy Spirit serves as your advocate, helper, and guide. When Jeremiah's soul was sinking, God's faithfulness lifted his perspective, and He can do the same for you. If you're navigating disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or simply waiting on God, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that His mercy is still at work.

Jen Kwok is with her then-fiancé's family on Staten Island when his father collapses from a heart attack on Christmas Eve.

This one goes back to February 2014: a live RISK! episode built around the theme of fascination, meaning the things that get under your skin and won't let go. Ryan Britt was a self-appointed porn expert at age 10, thanks to his father's very open magazine policy and to a darkroom box labeled "Do Not Open" that turned out to contain something far more interesting than photographic paper. Adam Wade spent years nursing a Rick Moranis complex, right up until a chance encounter at a pharmaceutical convention gave him an unusual opportunity to put it to use. (Content note: eating disorder) Brad Lawrence was 15, overweight, and utterly transfixed by a softcore film called Felicity — until a different movie sent him down a dangerous path of self-reinvention over a single summer. Lulu left a long, sexless marriage at 44 and spent the next several years making up for lost time, culminating in a nerve-racking attempt to fulfill a very specific fantasy at a kink convention class in Astoria.

Parents often want to talk to their kids about puberty and periods, but many don't know where to start. In this episode, I'm joined by pediatric and adolescent gynecologist Dr. Charis Chambers to talk about how we can change the way families approach these conversations. From stigma and misinformation to the fear of saying the wrong thing, we break down why avoiding these discussions can leave kids confused, scared, or learning from the wrong sources. We discuss how to introduce puberty and body changes in age-appropriate ways, why boys should be included in these conversations, and how parents can shift from one awkward “talk” to an ongoing dialog that builds trust. Dr. Chambers also explains the science behind periods, addresses common misconceptions about hormonal therapy, and shares powerful stories from her clinical experience that highlight why this education matters for a child's long-term relationship with their body and health. In this episode we discuss: ✔️ Why many kids feel scared when their first period starts ✔️ How to start puberty conversations earlier and more naturally ✔️ Why boys should learn about periods too ✔️ The difference between privacy and secrecy when talking about bodies ✔️ How stigma around periods gets passed down through generations ✔️ Why hormonal therapy is often misunderstood ✔️ How open conversations build trust between parents and kids To connect with Dr. Charis Chambers follow her on Instagram @theperioddoctor, check out all her resources at https://theperioddoctor.com and buy her new book: https://www.amazon.com/Period-Puberty-Parenting-Revolution-Conversation/dp/1464233802?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn1W3WTCmZ7O5OBTdANGfFNf3Qt3tBhR3ysalxz3dPwNe50CLKDpwfK9vbRiY_aem_POnDC67y5COyXEaA3xsKVQ  00:00 Why Puberty and Period Talks Matter 02:16 Meet Dr. Charis Chambers and Her New Book 04:01 Why She Wrote The Puberty and Period Parenting Revolution 06:17 Why Kids Need to Learn About Bodies From Parents First 08:42 Is There Such a Thing as Talking Too Early About Puberty? 10:54 Why Boys Need to Be Part of Period Conversations Too 12:35 Privacy vs Secrecy, How Parents Can Normalize Periods 14:00 How Media and Shame Shape Period Stigma 18:40 Why This Needs to Be an Ongoing Conversation, Not One Talk 22:31 How to Explain Anatomy Without Making It Awkward 28:15 What Happens When Kids Are Left in the Dark About Periods 33:54 Hormonal Therapy vs Birth Control, What Parents Should Know 41:29 How to Build Trust When Parents Feel Nervous or Behind 45:05 What Dr. Charis Hopes This Book Changes for Families Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Parents often want to talk to their kids about puberty and periods, but many don't know where to start. In this episode, I'm joined by pediatric and adolescent gynecologist Dr. Charis Chambers to talk about how we can change the way families approach these conversations. From stigma and misinformation to the fear of saying the wrong thing, we break down why avoiding these discussions can leave kids confused, scared, or learning from the wrong sources. We discuss how to introduce puberty and body changes in age-appropriate ways, why boys should be included in these conversations, and how parents can shift from one awkward “talk” to an ongoing dialog that builds trust.

There's always a pothole on the way to destiny. Forever First Lady Mrs. Serita Jakes takes us into the story of Naomi. She was a woman whose name means “pleasant,” but her deep sorrow challenged everything she thought she knew. Drawing from passages in Ruth and Hebrews, this powerful Mother's Day message confronts loss, bitterness, and the journey back to confidence. Naomi fled famine, lost her husband and sons in Moab, and renamed herself “bitter,” forgetting who God said she was. But while she was losing, Ruth was gleaning in the fields. What Naomi discarded became someone else's survival. And God restored her joy through something she didn't see coming. We can't change what God already said about us. Even when you lose, look at what you have left. There's so much more in store.

How do you respond when God starts removing what used to comfort you? In this message, Touré Roberts walks through John 15 and reframes what it really means to be pruned. Because what looks like loss is actually development. God isn't removing things to harm you. He's cutting away what you don't need so you can become who you're called to be. If this season feels like pressure, reduction, or even silence, this message will help you see it differently. You're not being reduced. You're being refined.

We Started With One Question… What Is Disney World Really? If you've ever thought about planning a trip to Walt Disney World and immediately felt overwhelmed… You're not alone. And honestly—that's exactly why this episode exists. This week on the Geekin' on Walt Disney World Podcast, Curtis sits down with his longtime friend Joe… A self-proclaimed Disney novice. He's been once. He's got questions. And he's asking the same things so many people are thinking: Is Disney just for kids? How big is it really? How much does this actually cost? And how do I even begin planning something like this? What unfolds is more than just a Q&A… It's the start of something bigger. A brand new Geekin' Family Masterclass Series designed to help anyone—from total beginners to seasoned Disney fans—plan smarter, stress less, and enjoy more. Travelin' Tiaras — Your Planning Partner If this episode gets you thinking about planning your own Disney trip… You don't have to figure it all out alone. Curtis' wife Margita and their good friend Auntie Judy are the Travelin' Tiaras—trusted Disney travel planners who help take the stress out of the process. Whether you’re heading to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Universal, or beyond… They'll help you build a smart, personalized plan from start to finish. Already booked? You can transfer your reservation to them and still get expert support—and it's a great way to support the podcast. TravelinTiaras@gmail.comOr connect on Facebook Messenger And right now… there are some great opportunities for upcoming travel, making it a perfect time to start planning. Featuring This Week's Conversation This episode is all about going back to basics—but in the best way possible. What is Disney World, really? Why do so many people get overwhelmed before they even go? And what actually matters when you're planning your first trip? Joe brings the curiosity… Curt brings the experience… And together, they break it all down in a way that's simple, practical, and honestly… kind of eye-opening. It's Not a Theme Park… It's a Whole Different World One of the biggest takeaways? Disney World isn't what most people think it is. It's not just Magic Kingdom. It's not just rides. It's not even just a vacation destination. It's an entire 40-square-mile world—more like a city than a theme park . With: Four major theme parks Two water parks 25+ resorts Hundreds of dining options Transportation systems, entertainment districts, and more No wonder people feel overwhelmed. The Biggest Mistake First-Timers Make There are two extremes that show up again and again: No plan at all Way too much plan (hello, 3-ring binder) And both can lead to disappointment. The sweet spot? A plan… with flexibility. Curt calls it having the “bones of a plan”— Knowing where you're staying, which parks you're visiting, and a few must-do priorities… But leaving room for the moments that can't be scheduled. The “Geekin' Big Three” If you're starting from scratch, focus here first: When to go Where to stay What to eat Get these three things right… And you're already ahead of most people. From choosing the right time of year… To understanding why staying “in the Disney bubble” changes everything… To realizing that Disney is actually a foodie paradise… This episode lays the groundwork in a way that makes planning feel doable. What Success Actually Looks Like Here's the part that really hits. Because it's easy to think success means: Doing every ride Seeing every show Maximizing every dollar But that's not it. Not even close. The best Disney trips? They're the ones where you slow down enough to experience them. The moments people remember most aren't the rides. They're: Walking into Magic Kingdom for the first time Watching your kids meet a character Sitting together during fireworks Laughing at something totally unexpected Or even just… Being present. The Magic You Can't Plan This episode keeps coming back to one idea: The best moments at Disney are the ones you didn't plan. And that's the shift. Not just planning a trip… But allowing space for: Spontaneity Connection Joy And a little bit of that Disney magic Because you don't have to go find it. Sometimes… it finds you.

In this dynamic panel discussion, Dr. Val, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, and Pastor Don Johnson uncover the women hidden throughout scripture who were leaders, disciples, and ministers, yet often overlooked.Diving into Mark 16 and Luke 8, the panel explores how women showed up not just at the end of Jesus' ministry, but from the very beginning. Financially, they supported His mission out of their own funds. Despite cultural systems that dismissed their witness, they were the first to the tomb and the first to go get others.This conversation tackles timely questions such as: What is a women's assignment in these times? How do you help without the need to fix everything? And what wisdom do we offer the next generation?Key truth from today: There's enough God for all of us to have equal power and be submitted to His will.Message: “Walk It Out Wednesday: Women in Ministry”Speakers: Dr. Val, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, and Pastor Don JohnsonScriptures: Mark 16:1-14 and Luke 8:1-3Date: April 29, 2026✨ Welcome to Your Moment of TransformationYou don't have to walk this journey alone.

Touré Roberts was on book tour for “Knowing” when the unexpected struck his personal life, and what happened next became the message. In this powerful conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes, Touré unpacks what it truly means to know God in the middle of the unknown. From the “Be Still and Know” principle to how God strips and reveals Himself slowly — through fire, through trial, through crawling — this dialogue cuts deep. They explore how trauma can counterfeit knowledge, why misknowing is more dangerous than not knowing, and how true knowing is never a destination, but it's an ongoing process of reframing. You won't have all the answers, but the God you know must be the rock you stand on.

We talk about the cross, the resurrection, and the blood of Jesus … But how does it actually apply to your life? Can it help overcome fear when fear's holding you back? And what does it really mean to live covered by the blood — every day? In this Walk It Out Wednesday conversation, we continue our journey on the road to Pentecost — breaking down how what happened after the resurrection impacts your faith, your perspective, and your everyday life. In this message, you'll discover how to: • Trust God even when you don't understand what He's doing. • Apply the covering of Jesus to real-life situations. • Recognize God's presence, even in grief, fear, and uncertainty. • Choose faith daily — although fear might try to hold you back. If you've been trying to connect what you believe to how you actually live, this conversation brings clarity, perspective, and a renewed confidence in what Jesus has already done.

What do you do when everything around you seems to tell you nothing good is coming? News cycles filled with uncertainty. Personal setbacks. Moments that don't make sense. And yet God's word still stands, telling us: Something good is about to happen. Touré Roberts unpacks the deeper truth behind Jeremiah 29:11 — one of scripture's most well-known promises. It wasn't spoken in comfort — it was spoken in crisis. If you're holding on to hope in unpredictable times, discover how: • God is already ahead of your situation. • You can win the battle in your thoughts. • You were created for clarity, not confusion. This is the moment God restores your clarity. Get ready to step out of confusion and back into flow. Something good is about to happen.

Are you holding on to a recent failure? Peter was too. He went back to fishing — back to what was familiar — because he thought his time with Jesus was over. But here's what he didn't know: God operates in seasons. In this Walk It Out Wednesday message from John 21:1-14, Pastor Don Johnson unpacks something you need to hear: Sometimes God orchestrates empty nets in one season so you can't go back when He's calling you forward. The disciples' failure was actually the best thing that happened to them. It severed their relationship with who they used to be. When Jesus showed up on that shore, everything changed. That's what happens when God meets you after failure. You get a personal restoration plan. God will make sure you catch nothing in one season so He can position you for something greater in the next. Stop focusing on the blessing. Focus on the Blesser.

Are you exhausted from doing the right things but seeing no results? In this message, Sarah Jakes Roberts unpacks 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 to reveal why weariness may be our greatest spiritual enemy, and how to defeat it. Drawing from the lives of Paul, Moses, and David, she challenges us to stop seeking yesterday's solutions for today's battles. God doesn't need to repeat the same strategy twice, and neither should we. The key is learning to sow in the Spirit. Not for an immediate harvest, but in obedience to the process. When we guard our hearts and stay sensitive to what God is doing in this specific moment, we position ourselves to recognize the harvest we've already been standing in. If you've been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapon, this message is for you.
