Storytelling isn't just a buzzword in the world of sales, it's a transformative tool that can turn mundane pitches into memorable, persuasive conversations. This week, I bring together industry experts Mark Smyth, Kristie Jones, and Park Howell to share their top storytelling do's and don'ts for sales professionals. Whether you struggle to keep your stories concise, want to captivate your audience, or wonder how to make your data more compelling, this episode will give you actionable advice and inspiring real-world examples.   Outline of This Episode   [01:40] Guide the audience, don't make yourself the hero  [05:59] Effort versus outcome and impact of the story  [07:53] Use your special storytelling skills  [14:14] Think outside the box; stories do not have to be business-related to resonate and deliver a point  [16:35] Help your audience imagine a brighter future through stories  [18:19] Don't dismiss storytelling as a gimmick—storytelling differentiates and builds urgency  [20:39] Turning data into engaging drama  The Secret Sauce in Sales  "Don't repel, do compel"—that's the mantra Mark brings. He urges sales professionals to avoid overwhelming their audience with dry data and instead use storytelling to clarify and motivate. He also encourages listeners to "be the flashlight," guiding prospects toward their own wins rather than hogging the spotlight. Keep it simple. Multiple narratives muddy the message; a focused, singular story sticks. The smallest, most honest stories can leave the biggest impact, so never underestimate the power of sharing your story. Play to Your Strengths Know your audience. Make it relevant, and for Kristie, the pillars of great storytelling begin with understanding who you're talking to and ensuring your tale matters to them. She highlights the importance of using your own style, whether that's humor or suspense, and cautions against stories that may alienate or bore. Keep stories crisp, edit ruthlessly, and resist the urge to use anecdotes for every point. Sellers should test and find their true fit, and remember that personal stories often resonate powerfully in a business context. Her advice is not to be afraid to step outside purely business anecdotes to forge real connections. The ABT Framework Wins the Day Park Howell champions the ABT (And-But-Therefore) method to hone storytelling, emphasizing the need to understand your prospect in a godlike way and to use emotion-rich images, not bullet points, to lock in your message. He says that a tight, focused story is what your audience remembers. On the other hand, he also warns against assuming you're already a good storyteller or treating stories as gimmicks. Park shares an excellent real-world example of transforming a dull pitch into a magnetic, customer-centered ABT narrative shows how story structure can directly influence sales outcomes. Stories bridge the gap between marketing hype and real-life results.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to discuss changes new coach Mike McCarthy may bring to the offense this season. Could more first-down passing be the secret sauce to unlocking more success on that side of the ball? And how will that success manifest for QB Aaron Rodgers and pass catching options including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth, Germie Bernard, Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders whether a recent ranking of pass rushers that had Steelers star T.J. Watt at No. 7 is accurate unfair. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

ITL debates what factor could be the key to Houston taking a major step forward.

ITL debates what could ultimately be the secret ingredient that unlocks the Houston Texans offense this season. Is it better protection, improved play-calling from Nick Caley, the emergence of new weapons, or something less obvious? The guys discuss what could be the key to helping the offense take the next step and whether one overlooked factor could make all the difference. Then in Lunch-Time Confessions, Lopez shares the story behind his recent colonoscopy experience, leading to another round of laughs and unexpected conversations. The hour wraps up with a new game called Livid at Lopez, as ITL digs through old "Letters to the Editor" responses from the Houston Chronicle. Lopez must try to remember what controversial column he wrote that triggered readers to send in angry comments, with the crew reliving some of the funniest and most heated reactions from his newspaper days.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I deliver a motivational boost, centering on the powerful idea of being “sold” on yourself. Selling isn't just about products, it's about enrolling others in your vision, whether that's at work, with friends, or in your personal development journey. You'll hear why self belief is the foundation of authentic sales, the importance of showing up 100% in everything you do, and how leveling up starts with raising your own bar. If you're ready to tap into infectious confidence and take your ambitions to the next level, this episode is for you! Key Takeaways: Whether you're pitching a new project at work, wrangling friends into a group vacation, or advocating for company culture, you're constantly “selling” your ideas, vision, or even the next best dinner spot.

Luton, together with co-host Jorge Morales, Global COO of ISCEA, is joined by Prabhat Pinnaka, Lead Product Manager for Supply Chain at Lowe's Companies, Inc., and Advisory Board Member at ISCEA for a practical, been-there-done-that deep dive on AI-driven supply chain transformation. From what separates organizations that actually scale AI from those stuck in endless experimentation, to the guardrails every enterprise needs before letting AI execute autonomously, Prabhat brings a hard-won perspective from working with Fortune 50 companies across fulfillment, warehouse operations, and enterprise decision support. Jorge adds his lens on what it means to be AI-competent, not just AI-aware, and why that distinction will define the next generation of supply chain professionals.The conversation spans the full arc: change management, data integrity, bonded autonomy, and what it looks like when AI shifts a DC manager's role from operational execution to strategic governance. If you're navigating your own AI journey or building the next generation of supply chain talent, this one's for you.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(06:03) Prabhat's career: lessons in adoption(08:29) AI competence: finding the sweet spot(11:26) Building AI foundations for success(18:21) Moving AI from pilots to scale(23:50) Recommendations vs. execution in AI use(28:04) Establishing guardrails for autonomous AI(33:44) Computer vision example in supply chain(47:06) Getting AI competent in six monthsAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Prabhat Pinnaka: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prabhat-pinnaka-a9549421/Connect with Jorge Morales: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jorgeamorales/Learn more about Lowe's Companies, Inc.: https://www.lowes.com/Learn more about ISCEA: https://www.iscea.org/Learn more about SCTechShow: https://www.sctechshow.com/Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/aboutLearn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.comWatch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-nowSubscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/joinWork with us!

Build Three Distinct Support Communities Before You Need Them Angel's framework for navigating crisis — professional or personal — is built on three tiers: the emotional inner circle (family, closest friends, real-time updates), the logistics home team (practical help, appointments, WhatsApp coordination), and the extended internet community (prayers, encouragement, distant support). Knowing who belongs in each circle saves energy and deepens each relationship. 2. Learning to Receive Is as Important as Learning to Give When you're in crisis, people want to help — sometimes financially, sometimes practically, sometimes emotionally. Angel's experience is that the resistance to accepting generosity is real and deeply wired. Working through that resistance isn't weakness; it's a survival skill. 3. Deep Empathy for Yourself Comes Before Your Resume The most common job search mistake: starting with the resume. Angel's framework starts with a more foundational question — who are you right now, in this exact moment of your life? Your family situation, your financial runway, your emotional state, your real needs. You cannot build a purposeful job search without that honest baseline. 4. Purpose Is Not the Same as Empathy — But You Can't Get There Without It Deep empathy gives you the foundation. Purpose builds on it — it's your current state, your trajectory, your story. It's the answer to "tell me about yourself" that is honest, specific, and actually compelling. Most people skip empathy and land on a purpose that doesn't feel real — because it isn't. 5. Your Old Resume Is Actively Working Against You The resume you built for the Obama administration — or even five years ago — is not your resume today. Angel's advice: start from scratch with a modern platform that parses your actual capabilities, competencies, and skills. Don't update the old document; replace it entirely. 6. LinkedIn Is a Brand, Not a Job Board Most people treat LinkedIn as a passive repository. Angel treats it as a living brand. The formula: 24 words for role, 36 words for quantified impact, a current professional photo, a Canva-designed header, and active storytelling. Dormant profiles don't get found. Active brands do. 7. The Career Prayer Is the Most Powerful Networking Tool Available A LinkedIn post that blends personal humanity (here's where I am in my life right now), professional context (here's what I built and who I built it with), and authentic future direction (here's what I'm looking for) activates dormant networks faster than any cold outreach campaign. If it reads like AI wrote it, it won't work. If it reads like you, it will. 8. Use AI to Identify Who to Reach Out to First Download your full LinkedIn contact list. Feed it into AI along with your resume, LinkedIn profile, and clarity on what you're looking for. Ask it to identify the 20 most relevant people to reach out to — and why. This turns a vague networking intention into a targeted, prioritized outreach list in minutes. 9. The 1-4/14: Plan for 14 Months and 14 Years Simultaneously Angel's framework for living with a terminal diagnosis is a masterclass in holding two truths at once: get your affairs in order (14 months — directives, will, trustees) and commit to building a life and a legacy (14 years — purpose, impact, the people you're fighting for). Both are necessary. Neither cancels the other out. 10. Showing Up Is Its Own Act of Leadership Angel came to Transform 2026 with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, a 2-3% five-year survival median, and more energy and generosity than almost anyone else in the building. His presence — and his willingness to share his journey publicly — is itself a form of re-inspiration for anyone going through their own version of impossible. CHAPTERS:  00:00 – Day 3 Opens With Angel Adam opens his first interview of day three with Angel Cruzado — a LinkedIn connection turned in-person meeting — and the conversation immediately goes somewhere real. 02:00 – Living With Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer Angel shares where he is on his cancer journey, what it's like to navigate a conference when you're fighting for your life, and why he showed up anyway. 04:30 – Building Your Community for the Hard Times How a cancer diagnosis forced Angel to build three distinct support communities: the emotional inner circle, the logistics home team, and the extended internet family. 08:00 – Learning to Accept Generosity One of the most vulnerable moments in the series: Angel talks about the resistance to receiving support — financial and otherwise — and how he learned to accept it as part of surviving. 10:30 – Meet Respiros: Career Transitions with Heart Angel introduces his company — an outplacement and career transition services firm that CHROs hire to re-inspire employees through layoffs, treating them as individuals rather than headcount. 13:00 – The Job Market Right Now: Real Talk An honest assessment of the current talent market: companies have their pick, not everyone is an A player, and struggling candidates need something more than a refreshed resume. 15:30 – Step 1: Deep Empathy for Yourself Before you touch your resume, understand where you truly are as a human being. Your baseline context shapes everything that follows. 18:00 – Step 2: Purpose — Who You Are and Where You're Going The second layer: purpose. Not the same as empathy. It's your current state, your trajectory, and the story that actually means something when someone asks "tell me about yourself." 20:30 – Step 3: Build the Right Resume From Scratch Why your 8-year-old resume is working against you and the case for starting completely fresh with a modern platform. 23:00 – Step 4: LinkedIn as a Living Brand How most people are using LinkedIn wrong — and the precise framework Angel uses: 24 words for role, 36 words for quantified impact. 26:00 – The Career Prayer: Storytelling That Activates Dormant Networks Angel's most memorable concept: a LinkedIn post format that blends personal authenticity, professional context, and genuine humanity — and why it generates real job leads in ways job applications never do. 30:00 – The AI Hack for Network Activation Download your full LinkedIn contacts, feed them into AI with your resume and profile, and ask it to identify the 20 people you should reach out to first — and why. 33:00 – How to Reach Out After Years of Silence The right way to re-engage a dormant contact: not a cold ask, but a genuine, story-led post that gives people a reason to respond on their own terms. 36:00 – The 1-4/14: His Framework for Living Plan for 14 months — medical directives, will, trustees — and simultaneously plan to live for 14 years. Both are necessary. Both are acts of hope. 39:00 – His North Star: His 11-Year-Old's High School Graduation The moment that grounds everything: Angel's goal of making it to his son's graduation when the median 5-year survival rate for Stage 4 pancreatic cancer is 2-3%. 41:00 – Re-Inspiring Others Through His Own Transition Angel closes with the mission: if people who are struggling and hurting can see him still showing up, still building, maybe that re-inspires them to do the same.

This episode of The Anxious Truth dives into the messy intersection of neuroscience and psychotherapy. I'm joined by Ana Lund, a UK-based psychotherapist specializing in the link between brain science and clinical practice, to discuss how we actually use research to help you recover.--Want to discuss what you heard today? I'm hanging out on the Disordered Community Spacehttps://disordered.fm/community--We often hear about "evidence-based practice," but translating a laboratory study into a therapy session is a significant challenge. Ana and I discuss the reality of staying current with research, the limitations of single studies, and why "neuro-nonsense" often takes the place of actual science in social media mental health content.Key Topics Covered:The Challenge of Staying Current: Why it is nearly impossible for any single practitioner to keep up with the massive volume of new neuroscience research.Research vs. Practice: The gap between understanding how the brain works and knowing how to "work" the brain in a practical, therapeutic way.The Role of Meta-Analyses: Why looking for trends and body-of-knowledge reviews is more reliable than hanging your hat on one exciting new study.Constructed Emotion: How modern theories like Lisa Feldman Barrett's "Theory of Constructed Emotion" change the way we approach feelings in the therapy room.Affect Labeling: How describing what you feel (without needing a "perfect" word for it) helps regulate distress and prevents the jump to catastrophic predictions.The "Secret Sauce" of Mindfulness: How neuroscience helped validate and secularize eastern practices by stripping away unnecessary "bells and whistles" to find what actually works: slowing down.Our goal is to demystify how science informs recovery. Understanding that your brain isn't "broken" but is instead following natural, albeit difficult, processes can empower you to take the small, practical steps necessary for long-term change.Find Ana on her Substack:https://neuroscienceandpsy.substack.com/or on her website:https://www.neuroscienceandpsychotherapy.com/For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/343Send in a question or comment via text.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.   Other ways to support my work like buying a book or signing up for a low cost workshop can be found on my website.  None of this is never required, but always appreciated!

Join us this week for the fourth message in our series, "The Secret Sauce," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

In this solo episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe breaks down four key terms every pregnant person should understand before pushing begins. Inspired by a listener question, she unpacks what's actually happening physiologically when your body starts bearing down and why the pushing stage is often misunderstood inside modern birth culture. HeHe explains the Early Pushing Urge (EPU), what it can feel like, and the two common schools of thought around responding to it. She also breaks down the difference between the Ferguson reflex and the fetal ejection reflex, two terms often confused online but very different in practice. Plus, she shares why reaching 10 centimeters does not automatically mean it is time to start pushing. You'll also learn about laboring down, how passive descent can sometimes create a more effective pushing phase, signs transition may be happening without a cervical exam, and what research says about delayed pushing, active pushing time, postpartum outcomes, and baby safety. If you want to walk into labor understanding your options, trusting your body, and knowing that pushing is more nuanced than “count to ten and hold your breath,” this episode is for you.

ITL dives into the growing concern around Tatsuya Imai—how long before you start calling it what it is? The guys debate the timeline for patience vs panic and whether he risks becoming an albatross for Dana Brown and the Houston Astros. Then the focus shifts to the Houston Texans and an interesting angle—are they actually forcing unforced errors within the division? ITL breaks down whether Houston's approach, culture, and roster building might be creating pressure that makes opponents slip up… and if that could quietly be their “secret sauce.” The hour wraps with today's QOTD: What's something you're a glutton about—food or otherwise?

Referrals: When people talk about you behind your back in a good way Authority is not about self-recognition. True authority happens when others talk about you behind closed doors, sending opportunities in your direction before you ever have to ask. It's the power of referrals.

Johnson connects with Michael Roderick, CEO of Small Pond Enterprises, on the crucial secret to getting quality referrals and turning your message into your greatest asset.   Important Links: The ReferabilityRater: https://myreferabilityrater.com Connect with Michael Roderick on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-roderick-1161571/ Michael's website: https://www.smallpondenterprises.com/ Apply for a podcast audit and coaching with Erik: https://podcasttalentcoach.com/coaching   Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apple Spotify: http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/spotify Website: http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/podcasts   Episode Segments: 00:00 Establishing Authority Through Borrowed Trust 01:13 Why Real Authority is Referral Based 02:39 How "Borrowed Authority" Attracts Premium Clients 05:45 The Power of Being a Category of One 07:10 Challenging the Dominant Narrative 14:45 From English Teacher to Broadway Producer 19:01 Leveraging Relationships and Placement 21:37 The AIM Principles of Referability 24:41 Language and Memory: The Sticky Factor 27:00 Storytelling That Gets Spread 32:16 The Triple Threat: Scientist, Celebrity, Magician 35:45 Aspirational Market vs. Excellence Market 40:12 Designing Offers for the Success Market 44:23 Memorable Networking in New York 47:03 Your Secret Sauce to Influence 49:51 Creating RAD: Relationship Adventure Day 54:40 Reverse Engineering to Build Authority 56:40 Knowing When You're Ready to Get Referred 58:43 The ReferabilityRater Tool 01:00:05 Black Box Mastermind for Thought Leaders 01:02:04 Turn Your Podcast into an Authority Engine   Key Takeaways: Your Authority Exists in the Words of Others - Erik K.
