Shared ancestors make us related. Shared stories make us connected.Can I tell you a secret? My absolute favorite part of family history isn't just discovering people who lived hundreds of years ago—it's what those stories can do for our living relationships right now.Welcome to the Season 3 premiere of Stories That Live In Us!In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful realization I had during a recent, tech-free week at a youth camp in the freezing, wildfire-threatened mountains of Utah. After putting a group of teenagers to the test to see if they could name their own grandparents, I discovered a shocking truth: having your names on the same family tree or sharing DNA makes you related, but it doesn't automatically make you connected.Tune in to hear the difference between a "storytelling household" and a quiet one, how a giant family tree chart can act as the ultimate curiosity spark at your next reunion, and a hilarious story about why my Grandpa Victor drove around Los Angeles treating stoplights as mere suggestions.Plus, stay tuned until the very end for our brand-new segment: One Word, One Story! I'm opening up "The Story Drawer" for the first time to pull a completely random word and share an uncataloged memory involving a bicycle, a local drugstore, and some rock-hard bubblegum ice cream.Connect with me:Follow the show to help me reach more families looking to connect!Share your own memory connected to today's random word on Facebook or Instagram and tag me.〰️

Margo is joined by artist and entrepreneur Reese Emry for a heartfelt conversation about creativity, resilience, and following the unexpected twists of life. From humble beginnings in Spokane, Washington, through adventures in Waco, Round Top, and Austin, Texas, then North Carolina and Connecticut, Reese has woven creativity into every chapter of her life—flipping a "hoarder house," opening an antique shop, building a candle business, and ultimately finding her way to ceramics. Reese shares how she's learned to trust her own timing, embrace imperfection, and let her art evolve slowly and honestly, even when it doesn't fit a tidy narrative. Margo and Reese discuss: How raising kids in a creatively infused home shapes their resilience, adaptability, and creative spirit The leap from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, opening (and later closing) a beloved antique shop in Waco to prioritize family Falling in love with ceramics, building a practice around what sells and what inspires, and living in a camper to keep the dream alive The courage to pivot, move, and explore without apology—including gap years and creative breaks Taking a chance on a booth at the Round Top Antique Show and the joy of finally connecting with the right audience Pushing back against the pressure for fast, algorithm-driven art in favor of slow, intentional creative evolution The influence of artists like de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, and finding inspiration in local makers and unexpected encounters Trusting your gut over outside perceptions of what a "clean" creative story should look like Connect with Reese: ReeseEmry.com www.instagram.com/reeseemry Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

How can a book written by more than forty human authors over approximately fifteen hundred years tell one consistent story? In this episode of Arthur's Bible Study Podcast, we explore the Bible's own answer. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and 2 Peter 1:20–21, we discover that while God used many human writers with unique personalities and experiences, the Holy Spirit was the one divine Author guiding them all.Together we'll trace the grand storyline of Scripture—from Creation to the Cross to the New Creation—and see how every book ultimately points to Jesus Christ. Along the way, we'll consider why the Bible's remarkable unity is one of the strongest evidences of its divine inspiration and why that truth gives believers confidence, comfort, and hope.If you've ever wondered why Christians believe the Bible is trustworthy, or if you want to deepen your appreciation for God's Word, this episode will encourage you to see the Scriptures as one magnificent story of redemption inspired by the Holy Spirit and centered on our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This week, my three expert guests, Mary Jane Copps, Paul Smith, and Roy Furr, cover everything from injecting humor and vulnerability into your stories to crafting narratives that move prospects closer to a sale. They discuss the importance of using stories with purpose: tailoring them to your audience, keeping them concise, and ensuring they support your sales process. They also share their thoughts on the dangers of boastfulness, going off topic, or using stories without a clear connection to your sales goals. Tune in for practical advice, real-world examples, and memorable lessons to help you harness the power of storytelling in your sales conversations.   Outline of This Episode [00:00] Matching Stories to Audience [04:25] Discussing sales storytelling tips [09:59] Crafting effective sales stories [16:00] Using storytelling in sales [17:18] Crafting a compelling sales message [17:44] Ensure your story fits into the prospect's decision-making journey  [21:16] How emotional and human stories (commemorating an industry giant) enhanced the sales pitch  Inject Humor, Authenticity, and Relevance Mary Jane discusses the power of humor in catching and keeping a prospect's attention, and how laughter not only draws people in but also makes your conversation more enjoyable and memorable. She also encourages sales professionals to show vulnerability in their stories—don't be afraid to share real moments, including failures you learned from, as it builds trust and deeper connections. You should also always match your story to your audience; don't share a tale just for its own sake. Stories must be relevant to your prospect's needs and situation to truly resonate and drive the conversation forward. It's so important to not come across as boastful when sharing past successes—humility wins respect. Keep your stories concise (nobody wants a novel) and always stay on topic. Rambling or irrelevant anecdotes can lose your audience's interest and derail your sales process.   Be Confident, Prepare Your Stories, and Keep It Brief According to Paul Smith, never apologize or ask permission to tell a story—just launch in with confidence, showing you believe in the value you're adding. Avoid the phrase "let me tell you a story," as it can signal irrelevance or bore your audience. Instead, frame it as an example or experience, and simply let the narrative do its magic. Paul encourages putting together a wish list of key stories you want on hand, so you're always prepared with relevant, impactful examples. When you do share, craft each story and practice it so it sounds effortless and engaging—then deliver it in two minutes or less. Time is precious in sales, and brevity ensures your story lands without losing your prospect. Move the Sale Forward, Not Just Entertain Roy Furr stresses that great stories alone won't close a deal. Every sales story must serve a clear sales purpose—whether that's grabbing attention, building trust, or getting your prospect to take the next step. Never wing it or tell a story just to fill a silence; make sure it fits into your broader strategy and advances the sales process. Start your stories in the thick of the action, capturing immediate interest—think of the thrill of an action movie's opening scene. Roy advises sellers to weave in real tension or conflict to keep stories engaging, and always tie narratives back to key buying decisions. Lay each story as a stepping stone on your prospect's path to purchasing, making every word count.   Transform Your Sales, One Story at a Time This episode serves up a powerful checklist for transforming mundane sales pitches into compelling stories that spark emotion and drive results. Whether you're weaving humor and humility like Mary Jane, confidently crafting concise stories like Paul, or ensuring every narrative serves a purpose and starts in the action like Roy, you'll find actionable strategies to refine your storytelling—and your sales outcomes.

Maslow's Mountain Pt. 6: One Story That Closes Clients

You built something that works. You know it works because clients have told you so. But when it comes time to share that proof, something freezes up. It feels like bragging. It feels like selling. So you say nothing, or you bury the win in data and credentials nobody asked for, and the person on the other side of the table leaves without knowing you could actually help them.That's exactly what Adam and Jess dig into in this episode, the sixth in their seven-part Maslow Mountain series. And the answer is simpler than most coaches expect: one story, told from the right place on the mountain, does more than a hundred polished sales calls ever could.The whole premise of "Proof That Works" is that testimonials and case studies aren't marketing tools. They're relationship tools. When you frame a client win as a story, told from the client's perspective and anchored at the level of the problem they were actually experiencing, the right avatar can see themselves in it. They stop evaluating you and start imagining what's possible for them. That's the shift from a sales call to a discovery call where they end up asking you how to work together.Jess shares a real example from a recent introductory call: one client story, one clearly articulated outcome, and every objection the prospect had was handled before it was ever spoken. No pitch, no close, just proof told as narrative. Adam builds on that with the flywheel framework: one offer, one conversion, one payoff, one testimonial, one story that keeps repeating as you continue to attract the same avatar.The conversation also addresses the coaches who hesitate to share wins because they don't want to come across as self-promotional. Adam and Jess are clear on this distinction: promotion is about you, proof is about your client. When the story centers the avatar as the one who did the work and achieved the outcome, you are not the hero of that story. You're the guide. And that framing changes how people receive it entirely.What you'll take away from this episode:Why one well-told client story outperforms a library of testimonials no one readsHow to tell a story that lands at the right level on Maslow's Mountain, so it actually connects with the person you want to attractThe storytelling framework: context, emotion, obstacle, resolution, and how to sequence them so your avatar sees themselves before you ever mention your offerWhy proof and promotion are two completely different things, and how to tell which one you're doingHow pre-handling objections through story means you never have to answer them directly on a callThe specialist vs. generalist distinction and why generalist coaches struggle to build any proof that actually convertsHow to turn a single client result into a flywheel that keeps attracting the right people consistentlyThe big idea: Coaches who struggle to attract clients usually have enough proof. What they don't have is a story. The proof exists in their work. The story is what makes it land with the next person who needs it. When you stop trying to convince and start telling the truth about what happened for someone else, you move from selling to serving. And the close takes care of itself.Notable quote:"I don't ever feel like I'm promoting. I just feel so confident in the outcome that I've gotten people that it makes it easy to connect." -- Jess WebberResources Mentioned:StoryBrand framework (Donald Miller) -- referenced as context for guide vs. hero languageILC community and events: ilovecoachingco.comInstagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoReady to stop guessing and start growing?

The line between peaceful politics and violent conflict can be fragile. In recent years, there have been many instances of election-related violence around the world. One of the worst examples occurred in Kenya. Following a disputed election in 2007, opposing political and ethnic factions clashed in the streets. More than a thousand people were killed, and more than 300,000 were forced from their homes. As is often true, these hostilities were based in cultural narratives—the stories people tell themselves about who they are, who their enemies are, and the sources of that conflict. Sellah King'oro, who has worked to build peace in Kenya and around the world, joins host Alex Lovit to explain how telling more diverse stories can prevent violence. Sellah King'oro is a narrative peacebuilder from Kenya with a particular interest in women's inclusion in peace and security processes. She is currently a postdoctoral associate at the Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University, State University of New York. She previously served as the head of the Research and Policy Department at the National Cohesion and Integration Commission in Kenya. She is also a member of the Inclusive Narratives Practice Group convened by the Institute for Integrated Transitions, where she contributes to advancing narrative approaches to peace and justice. https://ifit-transitions.org/publications/narratives-ethnicity-and-polarisation-the-case-of-the-luo-and-kikuyu-communities-in-kenya/ https://isdsnet.com/ijds-v7n11-06.pdf Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
