Topics Discussed and Key Points: Storytelling versus pitching Using the and/but/therefore framework to level up all of your communications Creating your ABT story Whether to have two separate messages—one for the adult child, one for the parent—when using the ABT framework Three rules of storytelling Addressing the COVID elephant in the room Episode Summary: In today's episode, Debbie speaks with Park Howell, a storytelling strategist who helps marketers and content specialists grow their business using the power of the story. He is the host of the Business of Story podcast and the author of the 2020 book Brand Bewitchery: How to Wield the Story Cycle System to Craft Spellbinding Stories for Your Brand. Today's conversation explores how to sell more by saying less, and how to incorporate storytelling in your branding and marketing efforts in a way that is compelling to the audience you are speaking to. Stories allow us to experience what it is like to use a product or benefit from a service in a way that we would never be able to if we were simply “pitched” that product or service. When communicating as a brand, instead of leading with logic, reason, data, and numbers, lead with a story. After all, every person, whether or not they want to admit it, buys with their heart and not their head. We only justify our purchases with our logical brain once the transaction has been made. Park does a deep dive into the concept of and/but/therefore to maximize rapport and agreeableness between you (the salesperson) and the other person (your prospect or potential customer). and/but/therefore uses the three forces of story: agreement (Act 1), conflict (Act 2), solution (Act 3), respectively. This structure takes you out of the center of the story and in your place, the customer. To use this effectively, you must understand what they want, what's at stake for them in getting it, empathize with them in that they currently do not have it, and, finally, propose the solution to their problem. “Your stories are not about what you make, but what you make happen in people's lives.” Park goes on to explain how to become a compelling communicator using the power of repetition, addressing the elephant in the room, and crafting your ABT story today.

If you're pursuing only data-driven marketing strategies for growth, you're missing out on a powerful yet ancient approach. This tactic - done well - will lead to significant changes in client behaviour and potentially massive business growth. The approach? Storytelling. Host Josh Steimle's guest in this episode is a masterful storyteller, Park Howell. Top Takeaway: How to craft spellbinding stories Park is the author of Brand Bewitchery: How to Wield the Story Cycle System™ to Craft Spellbinding Stories for Your Brand. This inspiring work helps readers clarify their brand story. Founder of Business of Story, Park has more than 35 years' experience with brand creation. He's the creator of the Business of Story, a platform based on his ten-step Story Cycle System™. Park also hosts the Business of Story podcast. Josh and Park explore Park's 10-step Story Cycle System™ with depth, exploring what - exactly - story is, why it works, and how authors can use storytelling to write a book. The key is, explains Park, to put the audience front and centre, understanding that the customer is the hero in the narrative arc. An author-entrepreneur must focus on where the customer is in life, what's holding them back, and what can be done to resolve the customer's challenges and move them forward. Our brains can't help but love stories “Story is a primal learning tool,” explains Park. “A story enables you to hack through the noise and hook the hearts of your customers, getting them involved because their brain can't help it. It just loves the story.” In fact, Park's story system works for all industries and all kinds of information. Park has worked in advertising for decades, but didn't thoroughly embrace storytelling until about 15 years ago.. His motivation? He thought everyone told stories, but he discovered that's just not so. Brands around the world are either not understanding how to use story, or unaware of its transformative power. The hero's journey Around the same time, Park's son, Parker, went to film school, allowing Park to join his son vicariously. He asked his son: “Send me your books when you're done with them, because I want to know what they teach you about storytelling that I could apply in my own world.” That's when Park discovered the hero's journey. It was his big “Aha” moment! “These frameworks to story would work exceptionally well in branding and business, and why in the world doesn't anybody teach them?” he remembers asking back then. The power of the hero's journey is found within its ability to move and motivate. This potential sparked a passion in Park. He decided to teach people everything he'd learned about storytelling in business and branding.

When you are in business, you are in the wish-granting business. When you really think about it, what you offer is what helps your customers achieve what they're wishing for. And when you can find a way to communicate what you stand for, how you will grant those wishes, and why you are unique in doing so, you will elevate the humanity of your business. But it begins with you; especially for the self-employed. What is your backstory? How can you connect the dots of your life to figure out where you fit in the market? My origin story of being a photographer is what distinguishes me in what I do today; I help people truly be seen for who they are and what they do. And so as you set the stage for your business you can then begin to weave in all the elements of your narrative that will ultimately lead your customers to invest in you, the person, the human, not just your brand. To dive deeper into the Business of Story, I've brought on The World's Most Industrious Storyteller, Park Howell. Park helps leaders of purpose-driven brands grow by as much as 600 percent. His 35 years in brand creation includes 20 years running his own ad agency Park&Co. He was named Advertising Person of the Year in 2010 by the American Advertising Federation of Metro Phoenix. The following year, his agency was recognized among the Top 10 Impact Companies in Arizona by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. His new book, Brand Bewitchery: How to Wield the Story Cycle System to Craft Spellbinding Stories for Your Brand, helps readers clarify their brand story and teaches how to tell it through three proven narrative frameworks that captivate audiences and convert customers.

THE FOOL WARRIOR “What do you exist to do that is greater than your product or service?" - Park Howell Highlights - Stories literally make us humans. We're all intuitive storytellers. It's time to be intentional about it. Stories hack through the noise to hook the heart. We purchase with our hearts and justify with our heads. There are three that help you set your narrative: Setting the stage, disruption, and victory. Your origin story defines your market category. People buy from people. Not from brands. We give our customers an emotional promise. The most potent story you tell is the one you tell yourself.
