McKay reveals why the most critical factor for success in business and life isn't the product, price, or timing, but the power of a compelling story. He demonstrates that the "best story wins" by reframing value, creating emotional connection, and motivating action in ways that data and features alone cannot.Drawing on case studies from disruptive brands like Canva, Duolingo, and Moderna, McKay shows how storytelling can redefine entire industries. He breaks down powerful communication frameworks, including Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle," Donald Miller's "StoryBrand," and Barbara Minto's "Pyramid Principle," to provide a clear roadmap for crafting impactful narratives. By positioning the customer as the hero and the business as the guide, he illustrates how to move beyond product features to address core human motivations and frustrations. Ultimately, this episode equips listeners with the tools to craft irresistible stories that capture attention, build loyalty, and drive results.Main Themes:Why the best story always wins in businessThe StoryBrand Framework: Positioning the customer as the heroSimon Sinek's Golden Circle: Starting with "Why"The Pyramid Principle: Leading with the answer firstCase studies in storytelling: Canva, Duolingo, Apple, and PatagoniaUsing "anticipation hooks" to engage listenersTapping into the brain's "narrative network" to create emotional connectionHow fictional stories dramatically increased the value of simple productsReframing complex technology (Moderna's mRNA) into a simple, empowering narrativeShifting from a product-focused to a story-focused sales approachTop 10 Quotes:"The best story wins.""A story is a piece of information wrapped in emotion.""People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it.""Your customer is the hero.

COURAGE! PART 4Tessa Szyszkowitz in conversation with Leonid VolkovHOW TO FIGHT AGAINST PUTIN AND HIS WAR FROM EXILEAfter Alexej Navalny's death in a Russian prison camp in 2024 his Anti Corruption Foundation continues its work against dictatorship from outside the country.                 Their political lives are closely intertwined: Leonid Volkov was the chief of staff to the leader of the Russian opposition Alexej Navalny. When Navalny died in February 2024 his wife Yulia took over his role to speak up against Putin's dictatorship. Her right hand man, again, is Leonid Volkov, who already managed Navalny's political campaigns at the beginning of the 2010s.Almost four years after the war against Ukraine started Volkov will explain how the Anti-Corruption Foundation continues to influence the Russian public from abroad. How do you conduct opinion polls about Putin's popularity or the support for his war without endangering the Russian respondents? And: How many Russians really support Putin? Spoiler: 10 Percent. 30 Percent are actively against him and the vast majority watches silently until this regime falls. Leonid Volkov will explain the Russian mindset, the scenario for a possible end of Putin's war and his regime.Leonid Volkov is the political director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, the leading organisation of Russian anti-Putin and anti-war resistance movement, founded by the late Alexei Navalny. Volkov also serves as chief of staff for Yulia Navalnaya, who took over the leadership after her husband was murdered by Vladimir Putin. He was campaign manager and chief of staff for Navalny's Moscow mayoral campaign of 2013 and presidential campaign of 2018. Since 2019 he has to reside outside of Russia. There are 11 politically motivated criminal cases against him initiated by Putin's regime; he's sentenced to 18 years behind bar in absentia.Tessa Szyszkowitz, is an award winning Austrian journalist and author living in London.

It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2025.First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a constant drumbeat from the mainstream media to help get a truly radical candidate elected in New York City. Greg says the media's obsession with turning every Trump story into a possible scandal is non-stop, but there was one incredibly inconsequential construction project in Washington that they just could not shut up about. Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to the scant media attention given to the remarkable educational advancements happening in Mississippi. Greg focuses on the media's yawning over the persecution of Christians, even when Trump and the pope are speaking out against it.Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim focuses on the biggest diplomatic achievement of the year, was more than two years in the making, and brought relief or closure to many families. Greg's selection is much more personal, focusing on the incredible achievements of a family friend.Make sure to listen on Wednesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year. New episodes every weekday.

Stories From the Road, Lessons From the Grind | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 131 presented by Summit Racing – Featuring Ry KlempIntroduction: The Stories That Define a CommunityEpisode 131 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar tone. Calm. Direct. Warm in the way only drag-and-drive people can be warm, even while they joke about broken parts, sleepless nights, and gas-station parking lot repairs.This episode wasn't about big announcements or season-ending drama. It was about people. People doing their best under tough conditions. People helping each other when things break. People finishing what they started even when it hurts.Mike Narx and Eric White welcomed Ry Klemp, the racer whose name became synonymous with the “Best Story of the Year” award. His willingness to talk about failure, pain, brotherhood, and the real side of drag-and-drive shaped the soul of the episode.And for the next two hours, the show unfolded into an honest set of stories about struggle, hope, weird failures, victories that don't show on a timeslip, and the kind of road-family moments that keep racers coming back.

We are still recovering from the laughs at the end of this episode! Before getting to that story, this one had a great training discussion on improving threshold performance. We dug down into why it's more complex than just doing threshold workouts, and how you can put it into practice.There was also a new study on VO2 and its relation to aerobic and lactate thresholds. We broaden it out to address recent conversations on VO2 and longevity. David went for a joke that almost ended the podcast altogether. You know, the usual.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: the hot tub science experiment, Megan's inclusion on the Singletrack list for course records of the year, the most hilarious year-end list, David's fueling realization, the continuation of the shoe saga, a study on breakfast and metabolic health, the Roast My Strava app, self-care gifts, how to run strides, peeing in longer races, overpronation and shoe choices, dressing in winter, rowing as cross-training, and the most beautiful Listener Corner message.It ended with a story that we have been holding in for a full year.

Following the release of his work, The War of the Worlds Did Not Take Place, Nick Susi joins the pod to unravel the real War of the Worlds myth: not alien panic, but a battle between newspapers and radio that manufactured mass hysteria. Phillip, Brian, and Nick explore how narrative form shapes collective memory, why brands weaponize conflict for attention, and what happens when everything becomes participatory fan fiction.Behind the Curtain of Inherited MythKey takeaways:Structured narratives outlast formless truth in collective memory.Brands now weaponize conflict and controversy for attention economics.Everything is becoming participatory, co-created, and infinite fan fiction."The War of the Worlds is not actually a war between humans and aliens. It's really this war between mediums." — Nick Susi"We've entered the phase of the attention economy where the game is attention at any and all costs." — Nick Susi"People don't want to share the thing. They want to share their experience of the thing." — W. David Marx (referenced)"Awareness does not decrease manipulation necessarily." –– Brian"We've become much more aware of the act of storytelling as a culture, like we see the artifice of storytelling and we appreciate the act of it itself." –– PhillipIn-Show Mentions:The War of the Worlds performance piece and publication by Nick SusiOrder The War of the Worlds Did Not Take Place on MetalabelBlank Space by W.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Andrea Kihlstedt sits down with Graeme Watt, co-owner of Anthem Creative, to explore how nonprofit leaders can sharpen their storytelling to strengthen donor engagement and drive campaign results.Graeme shares his journey from founding a grassroots youth nonprofit in his living room to leading large-scale digital storytelling efforts with organizations like World Vision. His experience on both sides of the nonprofit spectrum (nimble startup and global giant) gives him a rare lens into what makes storytelling resonate across channels and audiences.The episode introduces the concept of “anthem stories”: compelling narratives that distill the essence of a nonprofit's mission, vision, and values through the lived experience of a single person or community. Graeme breaks down how these stories can move beyond abstract mission statements to become powerful tools for donor acquisition, cultivation, and stewardship.Key Highlights Include:Why the phrase “whoever tells the best story wins” matters more than ever in a competitive fundraising environmentThe difference between mission statements that glaze over eyes and stories that make people lean inHow to identify your organization's anthem stories, and why you should train your entire team to do the sameStrategies for building a story identification system that draws on frontline staff without overwhelming themHow stories can be used face-to-face by gift officers and board members, or repurposed into long-form content for donor eventsWhy the best campaigns don't just raise money for buildings or equipment—they tell deeper stories about impact and transformationWhat AI may mean for nonprofit storytelling, and why human emotion, authenticity, and connection remain irreplaceableGraeme also discusses how capital campaigns present a unique opportunity to wrap bold, inspiring stories around organizational moments. Whether you're raising funds for a new facility, celebrating an anniversary, or preparing for a major initiative, understanding and communicating the "bigger story" behind your campaign can make all the difference.He and Andrea examine practical examples, including how a $600,000 septic system became part of a $2.8 million storytelling-driven campaign, and reflect on the common hesitation nonprofits feel about telling their own stories. They explore why even experienced fundraising professionals can find it challenging to gather and share stories, and how to shift that mindset by embedding storytelling into organizational culture.To wrap up, Graeme offers two key takeaways:Create a story identification strategy that equips your team to recognize and collect meaningful stories.Be bold. Don't settle for safe, forgettable content. Take creative risks that cut through the noise and connect with the right donors.Whether you're deep into a campaign or just starting to explore how storytelling fits into your fundraising strategy, this episode offers thoughtful insight, practical steps, and inspiring encouragement to help you turn your stories into tools for impact.For more about Graeme's work, visit AnthemCreative.ca.To access free resources on capital campaigns, including guides and tools mentioned in the episode, visit capitalcampaignpro.com/resources.

Costa and Jansen, Karsch and Anderson and The Valenti Show with Rico all take deep dives into the Detroit Pistons. How dangerous can they be in the playoffs? Is Cade a legit MVP candidate and should Malik Beasley be in Detroit for years to come?

Tim Legler and Adam Mares break down the NBA's biggest stories. Are the 76ers at rock bottom? The Hornets suffer back-to-back 40-point losses, while Nikola Jokic sets a career-high 19 assists—has he locked in best passing big man status? Cade Cunningham leads the Pistons past the Clippers, with Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren making big strides. Malik Beasley is on fire from three, and Dennis Schroder looks like a steal. Plus, the Timberwolves pull off a historic comeback against OKC—was it more about Minnesota's resilience or the Thunder's collapse? Can Jalen Williams be a true No. 2 on a title team, and will OKC's shooting hold up in the playoffs?An ALLCITY Network ProductionAll music credited to Greg Kramer, check him out on Spotify!FanDuel: ALL NBA - Presented by FanDuel!

It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2024.First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a massive, relentless political snow job from the mainstream media. Greg agrees with Jim but also notes how the media fawned over a piece of legislation which was little more than an attempt to change the narrative about Biden's legacy. Oh, and there was one overreported story that Jim and Greg were guilty of as well. But it was also a lot of fun!Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to media apathy concerning stories about a prominent Democrat and how the media would have had huge coverage of them if it were a Republican. Greg picks a heinous act committed by one of our enemies that the media buried as quickly as possible.Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim goes with a series of encouraging events over the past several weeks. Greg focuses on the media itself and how this year and how the media should have learned a big lesson. But are they paying attention?Make sure to listen on Tuesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year. 

More year-end awards today! Jim and Greg embark on the fourth installment of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year. They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim chooses a clear message that voters sent on Election Day that was long overdue. Meanwhile, Greg's award goes to the clever tactics that successfully eliminated one of the world's most prominent terrorists..Then it's time for the worst political ideas of the year, with both Jim and Greg finding many good options. Jim focuses on a ridiculous aspect of Biden's Middle East policy. Whereas, Greg highlights one of the most stunning political miscalculations in recent memory.Finally, they're on to the boldest political tactics for 2024. Jim chooses a Trump campaign tactic and message that undoubtedly worked to perfection. And Greg salutes a group of athletes who sacrificed a lot to send a message that's now yielding results.Don't miss Monday's special edition as Jim and Greg reveal their choices for Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, and the Best Story of 2024.

Adnan Virk and David Samson are here to celebrate Cameron Diaz's 52nd birthday with their Top 5 Cameron Diaz Movies, and the two lists could not differ more.
