Everyone loves a good story. It could also be argued that everyone is living into and from a story—the kicker is if we can attach that little word “good” to ours…but that's the hope right? Bobette Buster argues that we are “narrative animals', that we are hard-wired to look and live from meaning. The problem is that sometimes we attach our stories to false narratives that deeply impact how we relate to God, ourselves, and others. The bigger problem is that we're often unaware of that reality. But as we follow Jesus, we connect our story to a bigger story: His story, and learn to live more fully into what is good, true and beautiful.CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.You can find us here:www.citychurchboulder.com www.facebook.com/citychurchboulder www.instagram.com/citychurchboulder
From the first words of the "talkies" in 1927, the art of cinematic sound has been driving the latest innovations in audio technology for almost 100 years. But in the aftermath of the global pandemic and with the rise of the video streaming giants such as Netflix, more and more consumers are enjoying epic cinematic masterpieces at home. But can they enjoy epic cinema sound as well? Host Oisin Lunny talks to Hollywood producer and author of Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound Bobette Buster and HARMAN's Senior Director of Sales for Strategic Partnership and Business Development Søren Majlund for a journey through the art and tech of cinematic sound.
Why are stories so important?I talk a lot about storytelling on this podcast, but let's for a second explore the word itself.I like to think about stories as gifts. In telling our stories we take a moment from our own experience, we wrap it up the best way we know how, and then we hand it to someone else with a handwritten card that says: “Let's unwrap this slowly together. I want you to feel my intention, I want you to understand why I'm giving this to you, I want you to experience something important to me, something I hope might become important to you.Please don't throw it away or unwrap it so fast that you miss the layers. Don't open it when you're preoccupied or half paying attention. This is a part of me you now hold in your hands. Treat it with care.”That is the preciousness of our stories. It's also why when we learn how to tell them (how to wrap them) as powerfully as possible, they become one of our greatest assets. Which will explain why, when I came across a book entitled: ‘How to tell your story so the world listens', I immediately fell in love with its author.Today's Guest Bobette Buster is an acclaimed lecturer, award-winning producer and author, whose workshops are sought after by top media companies and corporations alike, from Disney/Pixar, Sony, the BBC, Google and SoulCycle. Her ground-breaking philosophy and process give people the ability to uncover and tell their own stories. Her unique ability to crack into the heart of story, has been transforming the way individuals, entrepreneurs and companies tell their own stories for well over two decades. Named as “Hollywood's Best Kept Secret” by 21st Century Fox Studios. She is also the author of ‘How to tell your story so the world listens'.Instagram & Facebook: bobette.busterTwitter: bobettebusterYou'll LearnWhy stories are so fundamental to the fabric of our lives. How they act as a map for the wilderness and a prescription for courage.Why Pixar, Disney and other major studios spend $1 billion a year on the quest for unique stories – and exactly what they are looking for.The difference between Storyreceiving and Storytelling and why “Being heard is so close to being loved it is almost indistinguishable”.Finally, the ripple effect of the ordinary. Why the most powerful stories we own are often overlooked and how trust in the power of your own experience. For me, as usual, this conversation didn't go where I expected. I had prepared for an interview around the ‘words' of storytelling. The structure of how to tell a story so people will be compelled to listen.Instead, this conversation reminded me about the sacredness, rather than just the strategy, of storytelling as a tool for connection.References and links mentionedMy new ebook The Influencer CodeYouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/gE18wH9_e6UThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

You’ve probably heard this “well-kept” marketing secret a bunch over the past year or so, but Facebook is pushing hard for more people to join and create groups. That’s where a lot of the algorithm is focusing the crawl. Arne Giske is here to share how he created an insanely profitable group and why you should do the same. Now Arne does not sell physical products. However the process he follows to grow his group and to increase his own notoriety works just as well for those in different spaces. The first step is truly understanding your product and who is using it. From there you want to look for groups that might be interested in using your product. For instance, if you’re selling shower curtains, look for people interested in redecorating or remodeling. If you’re selling pruning tools, try to find groups aimed at those interested in gardening. Once you’ve found several groups that align with what you sell, befriend the moderators and see if you can work out a sponsorship or an advertising agreement. This happens all the time and can lead people directly to your product. This is also completely organic. Listen in to hear ways that you can use paid traffic to increase your reach as well. Of course creating your own group and filling it with people interested in your brand or product is one of the best ways to find your true target market. Then you can use tools like Group Funnel to build your email list with those who have joined your group. Arne has so many great tips and tools to share with you on how using Facebook groups can greatly increase your reach. For so many the idea of creating a group is daunting because of how much time it takes, but by using Arne’s engagement strategy and Group Funnels, you’ll cut your group time in half while still building your list. Want to see Arne’s screen as he walks us through his processes? Check out the video here: In This Episode: [01:36] Arne is THE guy when it comes to building Facebook groups, learn more about him. [04:27] He doesn’t sell anything physical but has still made 7-figures through his group. [05:20] Learn more about the stats that surround groups. [07:17] What can you do to start building a community today? [09:20] How can you grow the community you have? [11:59] Is having a community super time consuming? [14:31] What is everyday content and how does it save you time? [16:16] Learn Arne’s strategies for not spending so much time online. [19:19] Is it possible to start or join communities that would help sell your physical products? [22:40] What’s your next step after finding groups that are related to your product? [24:43] Arne shares how you can use Group Funnels to build your email list. [27:01] Listen as he tells you how his software can help you save time. [29:49] Why asking the intro questions will increase your requests versus decreasing it. [31:39] What is Arne’s favorite book and why? [33:44] Connect with Arne.
