What does it mean to show up courageously in your life? Who exactly are you showing up for? Why is it important to keep showing up. In the 431st episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, Rob sat down with author and story teller, Jude Charles, to answer those questions and more. This episode is a bit different from the typical discussions we have on the podcast, but we think you're going to like it. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Jude's Book (audio) Get The Questions The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  A couple of months ago, I scheduled a catch-up call with my friend Jude Charles. Jude has been a guest on the podcast and a speaker at several of our TCCIRL live events. But we hadn't talked in several months so we hopped on Zoom to catch up on what we were both doing. During our catch-up, our discussion got personal and a bit vulnerable and we shared some of the things we were working on and working through. And we both realized we probably should have been recording the call because there are probably a few people who could benefit from the insights we were sharing. Some of the questions that came up included… What lights you up in your day-to-day life? Or in your work? Who are you showing up for? Who are you making a difference for with your work? And what do you do each day that requires courage?  It was too late to hit record on that discussion, but we scheduled a time to revisit some of these ideas and this time we did hit record. That's what you'll hear if you continue to listen in on this episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. This discussion is a bit different from the typical interview we usually share, but I think you're going to like the change in topic and tone—at least for this episode so keep listening. But first, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. You've heard me talk about the monthly trainings—the next one happens this week and is all about how to land a “real job” for a client where you are their PT or FT copywriter. That's happening tomorrow on the day this episode goes live. And of course it will be recorded and shared in The Underground training vault along with dozens of other trainings on building your authority and audience, on launch strategy, on building an email list, on research, on creating new products and services and so much more. To get your hands on all that training for less than you'll spend on a single night out with your spouse or partner, visit thecopywriterclub.com/tcu. And now, let's go to our discussion with Jude Charles.  Welcome back to the podcast. You've been here before. You know the drill. You were on episode number 217, where you talked about the demonstration of proof. And then you came back for an ensemble episode, if I remember right, 279, where you were chatting a little bit about burnout with a couple of other people and just kind of talking about how copywriters can deal with that. You and I reconnected a couple of months ago and we were just chatting and I think it was, we were chatting. I can't remember which one of us said this, but we were like, we should be recording this. Cause it was a really, really good discussion. And so I'm thrilled to have you back. So we normally start out with your story, but since we've done that before, just kind of catch us up. What's been going on this last year or two? Jude Charles: Yeah. So I, Ironically, I think I've been going through a process of reinvention, maybe for the last, it feels like the last five years, it's probably been less than that. It started at TCC IRL, where we've talked about it. I don't know if we've ever talked about it online, but offline, we've talked about how you challenged me to get on stage and to share my expertise and what I had to offer. I was scared out of my mind the first time I did it. It was back in 2019.

Today With LuAnn Nigara: If you've been in the window treatment business for any length of time, you've likely experienced this: you pour hours into a proposal or consultation, think you've nailed it, and then—silence. The client disappears, leaving you frustrated, confused, and wondering what went wrong. Let me assure you, ghosting isn't about your worth as a person. But it is often about how you communicate your value as a professional. The good news? This is fixable. A Big THANK YOU to Today's Podcast Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Exciting Windows!

I'm bringing all sorts of new things to the show today! While at High Point Market, I sat down with Jude Charles, who produces documentaries for entrepreneurs, including the phenomenal docuseries with LuAnn Nigara. We spoke in depth about the power of storytelling in your business - from marketing to client relations. Through this episode, Jude shares many of his own personal stories as he walks us through his approach to infusing the personal with the professional through his films and in marketing. He encourages interior design business owners to focus on the 'why you' aspect, their core values, and the realization that you are more than just your portfolio. Listening to his story, I was moved to share a few vulnerable stories myself, including how I felt about them then and now. Because of the intimacy of our design work, Jude inspired me and I hope you, to take note of your experiences and absorb these narratives into your business and life.

“You are the value, not the tips and tricks, not the service, the product, you are the value.” –Jude CharlesIt's not enough to share the lesson. You need to share the journey … and that's where the story comes in. I loved talking with Jude Charles, about using story in our businesses.When you tell a story — whatever the medium — the story becomes like a movie theater in people's minds. The story sticks with them and triggers a reaction. They might forget the details of the tip or information you shared, but they will remember the story and make meaning from it.To have that power, story should be specific. The details give it life. Jude demonstrates the level of detail that engages without overwhelming us.We talk about: Noticing which stories are conversation startersWhy we should stop devaluing our own storiesFocusing on what's there for you right now to get out of your own wayPutting in the reps: Practicing telling the stories, even as an introvert, until you get more comfortableA 5-minute practice to find your own stories and testing those storiesHow to quickly prepare to speak and include storiesABOUT JUDEFor over 18 years, Jude Charles has been producing documentaries for entrepreneurs.

Action is where change happens.Even though we want big change, it's really little things done over and over that make the difference. So pick a doable thing. Put it in your calendar. Weave it through your days for a week and then move on to the next one. It will have a snowball effect.Here are three Doable Changes from this conversation:GATHER A STORY. Take 5 minutes at the end of your day to record a story. Think back about what happened. Pick something memorable. Then: Create a title. Tell what happened. Identify the lesson.DO THE REPS. Practice telling your story. One technique is to record it on your phone and then listen to it to get really familiar with your story and get comfortable with your own delivery.FIND THE STORY BEHIND THE LESSON. Do you have a tip or practice or other teaching you share often? What's the story behind it? Can you reverse engineer to find the story that leads to the lesson? Because the story is what makes gives the lesson heart and is most likely to be what sticks with people or even moves them (even if they take a different lesson from it).

Welcome back to another episode of Design for the Creative Mind, where we dive into the essentials of running a purposeful and passionate interior design business. I'm your host, Michelle Lin, and today we had the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Jude Charles, a master storyteller and documentary producer for entrepreneurs.   Jude has spent over 18 years crafting compelling narratives for clients like Google and Steve Harvey, and he's here to share his wisdom on the transformative power of storytelling in business. He's also the author of "Dramatic Demonstration," a guide that teaches entrepreneurs how to uncover and leverage their unique stories to grow their businesses.   In our conversation, Jude opened up about the importance of taking intentional breaks for personal reflection and growth. He shared his practice of taking two months off each year since 2013, which has allowed him to avoid burnout and maintain his creativity and passion for his work. Jude emphasized the clarity and insights that come from these periods of rest, which have led to the development of new offerings and a deeper understanding of what truly works in his business.   Jude also discussed the significance of vulnerability and authenticity in connecting with your audience. He believes that while every design is different, the process and the person behind the work should shine through. By sharing personal stories and the lessons learned from them, designers can differentiate themselves in a saturated market and attract clients who resonate with their unique perspective.   We delved into the practical aspects of storytelling, with Jude explaining how to identify the right stories to share and the importance of tying them back to your business values and mission. He also provided insights on how to balance personal sharing with professional boundaries, ensuring that your stories are relevant and impactful without oversharing.   Jude's message is clear: your stories are your superpower. They are what set you apart and make you memorable in the eyes of your clients. By embracing your experiences and sharing them with courage, you can create a deeper connection with your audience and drive your business forward.   So, if you're ready to harness the power of storytelling in your interior design business, make sure to follow Jude and check out his book for a roadmap to success. And remember, it's not just about the work you do; it's about who you are and the stories you tell.   Until next time, keep designing with purpose, efficiency, and passion.   Podcast Website and Resources: Get more info about our year-long mentorship and coaching program: https://www.designedforthecreativemind.com/business-bakery   Text BESTIE to 855-784-8299 for business tips, encouragement, and all our DFCM updates.   SIMPLIFY YOUR MARKETING, SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

Today With Jude Charles: Today on Sass Says I am joined by Jude Charles, a storyteller, filmmaker, and brand strategist working with purpose-driven entrepreneurs. Jude is an expert in his field and works his magic by pulling back the curtain to tell the story for businesses and personal brands.    But Jude is also a regular guy. Today he's pulling back the curtain on himself and sharing his personal story about living with burnout. We discuss the importance of diagnosis, the ongoing stigma around mental health, creative entrepreneurship, vulnerability, and the importance of showing up as who you are—not just what you do. Pick It Apart [1:50] Jude talks about his first speaking engagement and how pulling back the curtain on his own life has not been easy but has been one of the most important things he's done in his life. [6:12] Christie asks Jude what he does when creating a video docu-series to get people to open up naturally on camera. [12:09] Jude shares a crazy story from when he was in the height of his burnout. [20:20] Jude opens up about going through burnout and why he is vocal about burnout. [34:30] Christie and Jude discuss the stigma around getting help via therapy in the Black community. [40:13] Jude and Christie talk about the importance of continuing this conversation in our communities, and showing up as who you are, not just what you do.  [47:25] Jude gives a preview of what he'll be talking about at LuAnn Live in November 2023. Christie Rocha's and Jude Charles's Ah-Ha Moments “[My first speech] wasn't easy at all. But I realized how much people were impacted by what I had to say.” – Jude Charles “we were our biggest critics and we pay attention to the things that some other people don't even notice.” – Jude Charles “You are so much more than your work.” – Jude Charles “If you end up being burned out, it's not the end of the world if you need to take a break. It's necessary. We live in a society that has four seasons, but for some reason, we don't believe in taking time off the four seasons, meaning that a tree the leaves will die, but then it'll grow back the next season. That tree is taking a moment to rest and recuperate, to rejuvenate. And we should do that as well as human beings in order to be better to grow like a tree grows to be more stable.” – Jude Charles   “There is strength in vulnerability.” – Jude Charles   “There are moments where I find my own satisfaction in just sharing. I get something out of it. Whether it's like a healing or therapeutic to kind of just say something out loud. But it definitely helps to have someone go, ‘Oh, I see you in that. And I see myself in that'.” – Christie Rocha More About Jude Charles As a kid, I can remember my dad loved watching shows like NYPD Blue and Nash Bridges.  And because I wanted to spend time with my dad, I would stay up late watching TV with him. Years later in life, I realized the lessons I learned by watching these shows. Lessons that taught me so much about the craft of storytelling. It taught me how to search for clues that uncover the truth. How to be relentless in solving the puzzle. How to look beneath the surface of what people wanted you to see. It taught me how powerful the right kind of evidence can be. I use these lessons to help you grow your personal brand. Connect with Jude Charles Website Instagram X Connect with Christie!

(02:57) To be a successful leader, it is essential to be able to communicate effectively, exercise patience, and bring the best out in others. (05:51) Take the time to develop your story. People are drawn to stories because they provide a deeper level of connection than statements. So, if you can build a story around your brand, it will allow you to connect with your audience on a deeper level. (21:32) Create content that you can use over and over again. By doing this, you are extending the value of that content and turning it into an asset. (29:03) Jude's best advice for entrepreneurs:“Create [an] asset that makes you money over and over because it gives someone a different connection point on how to understand what you do or understand what makes you valuable.” (35:38) Connect with Jude: LinkedIn Twitter Website Story Bank Journal Follow Beyond 8 Figures: LinkedIn Twitter Website

If you're alive + breathing, you have a story to tell, and you can use it to grow your practice.    I've always loved the idea of storytelling in business, but I needed someone like Jude Charles, storyteller extraordinaire, to break it down for me, step-by-step.   This week on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, Jude is back with the 3rd and final episode in this 3-part series of using storytelling in business to connect with more patients + grow your practice.    Stories can be the difference between:

Jude Charles, storytelling extraordinaire, is back on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast this week to help you leverage the art of storytelling to grow your wellness practice.

If you're a regular listener of the show, you know we talk a lot about leveraging your uniqueness to scale your business- whether that be your unique origin story, your core values, your beliefs, or your unique skills. The reason is because #1, there is no one else like you in the world, and you can immediately set yourself apart from competitors this way, and #2, your clients aren't buying your workouts- they're making a buying decision based on how you make them feel- and that comes from what you share about your beliefs and values, and how you believe your unique approach can change their life.   The best way to communicate this is through utilizing the power of story, and in Episode 190, we dove deep into just how powerful storytelling is to scale your business and find success. But something we didn't talk about is specifically how to do that.   That's why we invited back our guest today- so he can teach you how to find that leverage to #1- get more clients and make more money, #2, leverage how you do what you do by packaging or productizing your values and beliefs and the way you do what you do, and #3, how you can start to get others to reach out to you for opportunities.   Of all the episodes we've done, I think that what we talk about today is one of the simplest and most effective ways to scale your business based solely on leveraging who you are and what you believe. On that note, please welcome back Jude Charles to the show.   LINKS: https://athleticgreens.com/fcm Jude's Story Bank Journal Jude's Newsletter

The last time I had Jude on my podcast, it turned out to be one of my favorite conversations and one of the reasons I wanted this season of the Mindset First Podcast to go deeper. Jude helps business owners leverage the power of storytelling to grow his business - but somehow we don't ever really get to that topic because this time I invited Jude back to talk about what it means to have relentless courage in business. Jude has worked with 7 figure businesses to grow their business using documentaries - but now he's in a bit of a transition that many might think is crazy. Or at the very least contrary to what most do in business. But that's who Jude is and how he has actually grown his life and self in ways that many of us don't even dare. I hope this episode inspires you to think about your own life and what it means to have relentless courage.

Today I talked with Jude Charles on the value of road mapping, or blueprints (as we call it at Studio Sherpas) and the win-win this method is for both you and your client. Jude walks through how he went from charging $400 for one of these road mapping sessions to a massive $17,000. We also talk about how Jude combats imposter syndrome and gives himself the confidence to charge $17K by using his previous clients' feedback. Key Takeaways  Road mapping gives the client confidence in your work before you start Road mapping also helps you see if the client is a good fit for you Remind yourself of the value you have created for others Put your mind to it and you can't be stopped About Jude Charles For over 15 years, Jude Charles has been producing documentaries for entrepreneurs.

We believe that nearly every person in the world knows that exercise, moving their body is good for them, but most people still don't do it. We also don't believe that it's due to a lack of motivation. We believe it's because they don't feel seen.   The decision to purchase fitness classes is so different from the decision to purchase anything else. It's an emotional decision that causes someone to bring the reality of who they are, or who they believe themselves to be into the light and look at it. Oftentimes that's really scary and uncomfortable. It often means coming into contact with the limiting beliefs about themselves, and looking at those too. And depending on their preconceived notions about what fitness is, or is about through the media, it's very difficult for most people to start.   This type of person doesn't need to be motivated more- told that they can do it, or told they could look a certain way. They need to be met where they are, have their feelings and emotions validated, and made to feel seen.   The best way to accomplish this is through telling a story. A very special type of story. A story that combines a bit of your story, but also includes the story of your ideal client, and how you fit into their life story.   That's why we've invited Jude Charles onto the show, who helps you dig deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows and then leverage storytelling to strategically scale your business by consistently connecting with the right type of clients.    Sign up for Jude's newsletter: https://judecharles.co/newsletter   Book a free Breakthrough Session to uncover your own story: www.fitnesscareermastery.com/breakthrough

Inside was his first set of business cards. Since then, Jude has dedicated his life to helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs tell their stories. He firmly believes that “Stories aren't just how we connect as people and human beings but story is what differentiates you from someone else.” In this episode of Wingnut Social, Jude emphasizes that you have to start sharing your story.

These stories are important to use every day on social media. You can repeat them over and over again. What are they?  Your origin story: How you got into the business you're in.  A transformational story: Testimonials, case studies, before & afters, etc. What does life look like after?  Why you're doing the work you're doing: Why should someone choose you over anyone else? But how do you get started? Jude has been a guest on over 70 podcasts. He's studied storytelling for over 20 years. He still listens to himself tell his story so he can find new ways to tell it. It also helps him learn how to connect better with an audience. If you rehearse your story and practice recording it, it makes it less intimidating.  Jude's video storytelling method: dramatic demonstration of proof You can't just sit in front of a camera and tell your story. That's boring, right? The way that you make your story interesting is by using the five different types of demonstrations: Behind the scenes: What happens as you're sourcing materials? What does the design process look like? What is going on that people don't usually get to see? Live illustration: How do you illustrate a point someone may not understand? Jude worked with someone who said, “Construction is like a puzzle.” So they got a large puzzle—of a project they had completed—and had the team put a puzzle together.  Social proof: This is testimonials, case studies, before and afters, etc.  Transformation: These are before and afters—how someone's life is transformed after a change has been made. Unique mechanism: What makes you unique that someone else can't copy? How can you demonstrate that on camera? Storytelling is about a specific moment in time. These moments have led you to where you are today. They influence how you've become a great designer. Jude points out many people believe that their story isn't unique or interesting—that no one will care. But what debunks the idea that no one cares? Telling your story. You'll realize that there will be someone it resonates with. Jude believes so strongly in the power of video storytelling that he only takes on five video production clients a year. Why? Because he works to understand who they are on a deep level. It takes time to be able to get to know someone and accurately portray the essence of who they are with video storytelling. Why you should just hit the record button Record yourself telling a story. Record yourself telling the story that you take for granted. Jude emphasizes that you shouldn't sell yourself short—or overthink it. Your clients aren't aware of everything you do to get a project completed. You want to create content so people understand what you do and can appreciate the value that you create. What you do will be different from the next interior designer. So where do you start?  Just document what you're doing every day to get in the habit of creating content. You don't need fancy equipment to get started because every smartphone is equipped with a great camera. You don't even have to share it on social media. If you share a video of your process with a potential client, it makes them trust you more. It's not only social proof but it's a sales tool. You've made them part of the journey. Hearing something said 1,000 times is not as powerful as seeing it once.  Listen to the whole episode to hear Jude's video storytelling tips for content on different social media platforms, including YouTube.  Connect With Darla & Wingnut Social www.WingnutSocial.com On Facebook On Twitter: @WingnutSocial On Instagram: @WingnutSocial Darla's Interior Design Website Check out the Wingnut Social Media Lab Facebook Group! 786-206-4331 (connect with us for your social media marketing needs) Subscribe to The Wingnut Social Podcast on iTunes, Google Podcasts, or TuneIn Audio Production and Show notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com
