Nelson Farris is more than Nike's longest-tenured employee — he's the greatest storyteller I've ever met. After 52 years at the brand, his voice, vision, and stories have shaped the culture of Nike and inspired countless people along the way.In this episode, I reflect on the moment I first met Nelson at a Nike offsite — and why I knew my elevator pitch had to be on point. That experience taught me something Nelson modeled his entire career: when you master what's in front of you, you prepare yourself for opportunities you can't yet see.From his roots in Long Beach to becoming Nike's Chief Storyteller, Nelson's journey is a reminder to shoot your shot, show up ready, and bring your best.This is my tribute to a legend, and a challenge to anyone watching: what story are you telling with your life, and are you ready when your moment comes?

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsToday's guest Taryn Southern is someone I consider a master surfer of technological change: a fellow elder millennial, artist, creative technologist, strategist, and dancer in the liminal zones of high chop. She's better than I am at finding the pocket, has made a name for herself for riding some serious bombs, and seems to know precisely when to bail. Starting as an actor, Internet famous for being an early YouTube influencer and her album I Am AI, the first LP composed and produced with an LLM, she caught air at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019 with the premier of her documentary I Am Human (co-directed with Elena Gaby), an intimate look at the lives of three people with implantable brain interfaces and the medical, ethical and societal implications.She's also produced an award-winning musical VR series for Google using Tiltbrush and Blocks, worked as Chief Storyteller for Blackrock Neurotech, minted the first song token on the Ethereum blockchain, spoken and consulted all over the world, operated as an angel investor, and survived breast cancer. In other words, she's just the person to teach you how to hang ten instead of duck diving under the next pounder. Let's drop in and grab the rail.

Donnez-moi votre feedback par SMS (mobile uniquement)!Dans un monde de permacrise, le rôle du CEO dépasse largement la stratégie : il devient Chief Storyteller. Les parties prenantes – employés, investisseurs, clients, régulateurs – attendent du dirigeant un récit clair, cohérent et incarné. Ce récit doit définir l'identité et la mission de l'entreprise, porter sa culture et ses valeurs, et guider ses prises de parole dans les moments décisifs. De Satya Nadella à Mary Barra, les exemples montrent que le CEO Storytelling n'est pas qu'un exercice de communication, mais un levier de confiance, de cohésion et de performance. Dans cet épisode, nous explorons pourquoi et comment les dirigeants doivent assumer ce rôle central pour préparer, inspirer et protéger leurs organisations.

Every successful agency owner faces the same maddening paradox: you built a business to create freedom, but now you're more trapped than ever. You can't take a real vacation because everything runs through you. Every proposal needs your touch, every creative decision requires your approval, and every client crisis demands your personal attention. You've become the bottleneck in your own operation, and traditional solutions like hiring more people or creating better processes only add complexity without solving the core problem. Mike Allton understands this trap because he's lived it and helped dozens of agency owners escape it. As the founder of The AI Hat and Chief Storyteller at Agorapulse, Mike has developed a proven framework for breaking free from the operational quicksand that keeps agency owners stuck. His approach isn't about replacing human judgment with technology—it's about creating an AI Second Brain that handles the cognitive heavy lifting so you can focus on what only you can do: build relationships, innovate, and lead. Through his H.U.M.A.N. Framework, Mike shows agency owners how to delegate high-level thinking tasks without sacrificing quality or control. What You'll Discover: ✨ How the three bottlenecks are costing you a fortune: Learn why the Sales Bottleneck, Creative Bottleneck, and Client Management Bottleneck are mathematically limiting your growth and stealing your freedom. Mike reveals the hidden opportunity costs that could be costing successful agencies over a million dollars annually in lost potential. ✨ Why traditional solutions backfire: Understand why hiring more people and creating more processes often makes the bottleneck worse instead of better. Discover why static documentation becomes "digital shelfware" and how management layers can actually increase your workload rather than reduce it. ✨ The AI Second Brain system that actually works: Get the exact framework for building an intelligent system that learns your voice, applies your methodologies, and handles complex tasks like proposal writing, creative strategy, and client crisis management. See real examples of how this approach has helped agency owners reclaim 20+ hours per week and finally take those long-overdue vacations.

Every great leader I admire has something they're still working through—something real, unresolved, and unseen by others. Today, I want to take you beyond the polished public image to explore the struggles, questions, and breakthroughs that happen behind closed doors. This episode is about the leadership you rarely get to see—the parts they don't always show. If what you hear today resonates with you, stick around until the end for details on our monthly leadership training designed to help you grow.Guest IntroductionEAT. SLEEP. PARTY. REPEAT. That was the mantra for Paige Chenault Lohoefer—and for good reason. As a former wedding planner with nearly a decade of experience, Paige knew how to throw a celebration to remember. Armed with a coveted black book of party vendors and a knack for creating unforgettable moments, she turned her talent toward a new kind of guest of honor: children experiencing homelessness.In 2012, she founded The Birthday Party Project (TBPP)—a nonprofit that brings JOY through the magic of birthday celebrations. What began as a simple idea has grown into a national movement. Over the last 13 years, TBPP has expanded to 20 cities, celebrated more than 78,000 children, and mobilized nearly 38,000 volunteers—known lovingly as Birthday Enthusiasts.While Paige has transitioned out of the day-to-day leadership at TBPP, she remains its passionate Chief Storyteller and biggest champion. Her heart still beats for community, but these days her focus has shifted to helping others build bold, beautiful organizations from the inside out.Paige is deeply committed to aligning vision with values, purpose with brand, and systems with culture. Whether she's consulting on a campaign, clarifying messaging, or guiding a team through change, Paige is at her best when she's bringing big ideas to life and creating meaningful spaces where people feel seen, known, and celebrated.Her work has been featured by the TODAY Show, New York Times, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Glamour Magazine, ABC World News Tonight, and more. She delivered a TEDx talk in 2016 and continues to speak on brave leadership, intentional culture, and finding JOY in the everyday.Paige believes that people matter most—and that the right invitation can change everything.Key TakeawaysLeadership is never finished. Even the most successful leaders wrestle with challenges that are still unfolding and roles that keep evolving.Letting go is hard. Stepping away from the day-to-day decision making is often way more difficult than I expected.Responsibility versus accountability: It's crucial to know what you're responsible for, what you're accountable to, and what you're choosing to take on.Ego and security play a huge role. Holding onto control often comes from a need for security, belonging, and relevance.Trusting others takes practice. It's natural to fear what might happen when we delegate, but giving space is how others grow and solve problems.Belonging versus being wanted: Being relevant doesn't always feel like being wanted—but true collaboration needs both.Deep Dive: The Leadership Transition StrugglePaige opened up about how hard it's been to “let go” after bringing in a capable CEO and stepping back from the primary decision-making role. She talked about the heavy feeling of still being responsible for outcomes, even though she's no longer in control. We also discussed the struggle of trusting others' decisions while still wanting those decisions to align with the mission she built. Sometimes, taking on responsibility is a choice—and it can become a burden we don't actually need.The Three Categories of Leadership OwnershipThings I'm responsible for—tasks only I can handle, and if I don't do them, it's detrimental.Things I'm accountable for—even if I'm not involved day to day, the buck stops with me.Things I've willfully chosen to take on, even if they weren't assigned or necessary.The Ego, Security, and Belonging Behind ControlPaige and I talked about the ego tied to leadership—the drive to find solutions and control outcomes that feels like a source of security. The problem-solving that happens too fast can rob the team of space to grow. It's a tension between knowing your stuff and trusting others to contribute fully. And underneath it all is the need to feel relevant, wanted, and like you have a place to belong—that's what keeps us so deeply involved sometimes.Key Quotes“Every great leader I admire, no matter how much success they show, has something they're still working through.”“Stepping out of the decision-maker role has been way harder than I imagined.”“I find myself pausing, conflicted about what's mine to do and what's not.”“Sometimes I don't even allow someone else's voice because I'm terrified it will take too long or the outcome won't be what I want.”“I work really hard to create places where people belong. That's exactly it for me—is there space for me?”“What if I could be relevant and wanted? That would be amazing.”Resources MentionedPaige's website: https://www.thebirthdaypartyproject.org Paige's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebirthdaypartyproject/ Paige's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paige-c-lohoefer-67115287/ Monthly Leadership Training: I run a leadership training program designed to help you deepen your skills and navigate these very real challenges behind the scenes.

The writer Jon Ronson and the creators of the immersive theatrical experience Sleep No More have teamed up to make a vast new immersive show that unfolds beneath a Wall St. skyscraper. Life And Trust tells the story of J.G. Conwell, a bank president on the eve of the 1929 crash who makes a Faustian bargain to return to his youth. We accompany him back to New York's seedy and turbulent past of The Gilded Age. The experience of spending hours in the world of Life And Trust is almost indescribable since most of the story unfolds through dream-like sets and choreography. It's also an open world theatrical experience, so audiences never see the same exact show, even on the same night. I talk with Chief Storyteller for Emursive Productions Ilana Gilovch, Executive Producer of Life and Trust Carolyn Boyd, and Jon Ronson about how Life And Trust came together, and why this is the perfect moment to explore the devil's bargain of a bank.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Do you know the power of intertwining your personal narrative with your business journey? Do you know how to find the thread that unites that story with your agency's mission and values? Today's guest is a narrative strategist who built his agency around helping entrepreneurs shape their stories to attract the right clients by communicating their goals and values. Discover how owning and sharing impactful stories can set owners apart from salespeople and lead to successful outcomes. Matthew Woodget is a self-proclaimed "hopeless story addict" and the founder and Chief Storyteller of Go Narrative, an agency focused on supporting changemakers by helping them reshape their narratives and align them with their vision. Matt believes in the importance of stories in building meaningful connections and achieving collective business success. He delves into the common pitfall of sharing too much information too soon, leading to missed opportunities in sales. He highlights the power of owning and sharing compelling stories to differentiate oneself and drive success. In this episode, we'll discuss: The power of a well-crafted narrative. The Seven Types of Business Stories. Finding the heart of your story. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio What is the Power of Narrative and Storytelling in Business? As a narrative strategist and lover of stories, Matt knows the importance of storytelling in business and personal relationships and its power in shaping one's narrative, building meaningful connections, and ultimately achieving collective success with and through others. Although he doesn't particularly like the term storytelling, Matt recognizes it as a powerful tool to get people's attention. To him, we are all constantly interpreting the world around us and building a picture. The way we communicate this is where we start to touch on the concept of storytelling, whether it is to get somebody's attention, get children to learn an important lesson, etc. In today's fast-paced and competitive world, the ability to tell a compelling story is more important than ever. Whether you are a business owner, a salesperson, or an individual looking to make an impact, it can be a powerful tool to communicate your message, connect with others, and achieve your goals. By mastering the art of storytelling, agency owners can effectively communicate their unique value proposition, and personality, and create a memorable impression on others. 7 Types of Business Stories: Crafting Your Agency's Narrative In December 2022, Matt decided to study some popular story models. In his research, he found that, while it is a well-known and powerful storytelling framework, the hero's journey may not always align with the needs and goals of a business. Instead, he decided to focus on Booker's Seven Basic Plots and used it as the base to create a similar framework that can be adapted to businesses. His model presents things business owners deal with every day in a language they're used to using. It's a tool for clients to add to and create their own stories and provides a practical way to get people started on the journey of shaping their stories. The 7 types of business stories outlined by in this model are: The Challenge The Pivot The Catalyst Innovation Improving Experiences Changing Perceptions Growth Mindset Each serves a different purpose and can be used strategically to convey messages, inspire action, and drive change within an organization. Finding the Heart of Your Story and Discovering Your 'Why' Things are considered cliché because they ring true. However, people tend to use clichés as a crutch, forgetting to tap into what they really mean. Instead, your authentic story — your why — is the one you draw power from and drives you. It comes from your early formative years when you figured out how to live and it starts to manifest when you choose how you're going to live. When he works with clients, Matt ultimately aims to identify the heart of their story (the answer to “Why do I do this?”) and the head of the story (the practical aspects); Finding the heart can be the trickier piece, and it may take going back to your childhood to find that aha moment where something clicked about the person you would become, the values you uphold, and the reason you ended up doing what you do. Identifying these elements can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their motivations and drive and uncover the core values and beliefs that guide their actions and decisions. Storytelling as a Bridge to Connect Teams, Clients, and Communities There is no denying the profound impact of storytelling in its diverse forms and its ability to forge deep connections with others. Once you have honed your story, the key to effectively conveying it to your audience is to first instill it within your team. You may be very intentional with your agency's story if you don't ensure everyone on your sales team knows and believes in that story. It risks being lost in translation when they seek to convey it to clients. Storytelling can be a powerful tool for building empathy and understanding and by sharing personal experiences and perspectives, agency owners can create connections with others and foster a sense of community. This can be especially important in today's fast-paced and often disconnected world, where people seek that sort of connection and recognition in others' stories.

When you put a child in a car seat, you may be doing something wrong that could put your child in danger – particularly in the winter. And it has to do with what the child is wearing. This episode begins with a wintertime caution when you take your child out for a drive. https://cafemom.com/parenting/108322-9_lifesaving_car_seat_rules You probably know someone who is a great story teller. You may also know of people who are not very good at it at all. Great story telling is an art, but it is also a science. It's not only about what you say, it is also about what you don't say. And how you say it. Here to explain the anatomy of great story telling is Karen Eber. She is the CEO and Chief Storyteller of Eber Leadership Group and she is author of the book The Perfect Story: How to Tell Stories That Inform, Influence, and Inspire (https://amzn.to/482JuVU). Do you understand how copyrights work? Most people don't. As you are about to hear, the world of copyrights is so confusing I am not sure anyone really understands it all. Still, it is important to have some understanding in order to stay out of trouble. You don't want to get caught infringing on someone else's copyright. And it turns out EVERYTHING is copyrighted. As soon as you write a sentence, a poem, a song – even a grocery list, it is instantly copyrighted and you own it. So, what does it all mean? Listen to my guest, David Bellos, a professor at Princeton University, and author of the book Who Owns This Sentence : A History of Copyrights and Wrongs (https://amzn.to/3Opgyk2). Who would you say most people believe is more trustworthy, someone with brown eyes or blue eyes? Listen and discover which one and why. The answer is weird because it actually has nothing to do with the eye color. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23326406/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
