Think Unbroken with Michael Unbroken | CPTSD, TRAUMA and Mental Health Healing Podcast
I'm very excited to share today's episode with my guest, Seth Erickson, a branding expert. I wanted to have Seth on, even though the show isn't necessarily entrepreneurial; as you guys have heard me say before, I always feel like this sense of freedom that comes with entrepreneurship and living your dreams really starts with your voice, your mission, your message, and this back and forth. Seth and I talk about the importance of the willingness to honor your voice, to hold your truth, and to put yourself out there even, especially when life is scary as it can sometimes be. And in my journey, I've found that the more I was willing to put myself out there, the more I was willing to face the possible criticism of the world, regardless of what they believe versus what I believe, the more sure-footed I've become in this experience. I hope that you'll take from this episode maybe a little hope or even a planting of a seed of an idea that your mission and your story truly do matter. And that storytelling is a beautiful way to convey that to the world!

Most people think stories and storytelling are just for entertainment. However, this is a misconception. Stories contain data built in a pattern that repeats itself in every human's daily experience. This pattern is known as "The Hero's Journey." For instance, some days you're storming the castle, and some days you're chained up in the dungeon. Either way, we are all heroes on our journey, experiencing the same pattern in our own lives. This shared experience is why "The Hero's Journey" resonates with everyone across cultures, religions, ages, and sexes. We all live in it, and we all know it. When you combine the knowledge of a familiar pattern with what current neuroscience is telling us, you begin to realize a few things. The brain is very similar to a computer. Because the brain is similar to a computer, it has an OS Since there's an OS, there are also apps and firewalls. If there are apps, then there's a way to code applications. So, storytelling and "The Heroes Journey" become more than a way to entertain people. It also becomes the key to how you code applications on the customer's mind. When you connect the dots, it gives you a way to hack humans. At Storify, Seth believes any startup can learn how to tell better stories. His startups know how to communicate better, make their value crystal clear to the marketplace, and outpace the competition. What you'll learn What is the interaction between photos and words on a PDP? How do we even start with trying to tell stories on a DTC ecommerce site? Identify the need/the problem your product solves. Customer hero of story How do we turn that into a story? Hero's Journey How to hack humans - storytelling for startups What services do you offer?

Meet Seth Erickson. Seth's personality, and particular brand of humor, are the kind that draws people to him. He's a quick thinker with the ability to distill complex ideas into easy-to-understand information, and he's not afraid to work hard and apply tenacity when needed. Sometimes Seth uses these traits for good, sometimes to go after world domination, but one thing is true above all else. Seth is a born storyteller. At the tender age of four, Seth was baffling his pre-school teacher with his vivid imagination. While many kids were naming shapes, Seth told stories with added plot points, built worlds, and introduced characters. This verve for storytelling grew, as Seth did… which is to say, quite large. Seth is many things; a BBQ enthusiast, a taco aficionado who can and will make tacos out of anything, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, and a scuba diver. He spent his early years as an illustrator, web designer, DJ, music producer, and recently became an author. However, perhaps most notable is the career Seth has built by merging aspects rarely found together: business, creativity, and wit. Seth uses storytelling as a way of helping businesses, specifically startups. Stats say 90% of start-ups fail. Seth's vision is to reduce that disheartening number by at least 10%. He recognizes many Startups excel at building their tech and ideas but fall short when communicating their value to the world. Enter Seth, who teaches these budding business owners one of the most effective communication methods. An art form that has been a part of humanity for as long as… well… humans—storytelling. Seth believes these entrepreneurs will find proving their value to investors and the marketplace easier with the techniques he teaches. He has seen firsthand how incorporating storytelling can make a presentation and product stand out and become memorable to investors and customers alike. So, if you're searching for a six feet eight-inch, globe-trotting branding agency owner with a sense of humor to aid in your startup endeavors, look no further than Seth Erickson.

Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I'll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening. Now on to my guest for today, Seth Erickson of Storify Agency. Storify Agency uses principles of storytelling to help startups communicate. Seth's agency was originally a website design agency - a successful one at that. But Seth realized that ultimately the website designs weren't bringing in customers for his clients, so he went on his own hero's journey to figure out why. He dove into the science and art of storytelling, and what he learned is documented in his book, How to Hack Humans: Storytelling for Startups. What Seth found is that there is scientific proof for why and how stories are the optimal way to connect with others. When his agency takes on a client, they find out who they are and what their story is, and then work with them on reshaping their messaging to best communicate their story. Seth is heavily influenced by Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, and he explains how often a company fails to understand that they need to position themselves as the mentor rather than the hero, the one who goes out and learns something, and then brings it back to help others. Now, let's get better together. Actionable Insights Erickson offers the following advice: Ask yourself how risk averse you are. Entrepreneurs must be ready to take risks and know that nothing is guaranteed. Ask yourself, “How can I be a better communicator?” Erickson acknowledges that he wishes he'd asked himself this question much sooner. Learn to be a better storyteller. Ultimately, learning how to tell a story will help you connect with investors, customers, the people you work with and the people who work for you.

In this episode, I talk with Seth Erickson, the CEO of Storify Agency. He helps companies tell better stories about what they are doing, why they exist, and why they have value to other people.Seth also talks about his book, How to Hack Humans: Storytelling for Startups. We discuss his future goals and some ideas to help him achieve them.In this episode, we discussed: How he realized that authenticity saves a lot of energy trying to be someone else. The goal of Storify of helping startups communicate their value to investors and the marketplace at large. How customers would need to know why they should care about what you offer and how it would solve their problems. Presenting your brands the right way through education. How important it is for the customers to be the center of the stories you tell about your brand. Brain simulations created by the stories being told to customers. People usually associate Seth's storytelling skills with extroverted people. On the contrary, Seth is in fact, an introvert. Although human interaction may be dreadful for introverts like him, it is his goal to reach out and help more people through what he does. We came up with the following to help him get to his goals: Find what feels comfortable and build up from there. Create posts on a business page first instead of a personal page. Reach out to friends for referrals. Listen, choose, and pick feedback that would further improve the business. Continue sharing on podcast interviews until comfortable enough to talk on a stage in front of an actual audience.

Customers want to know how your product or service solves their problem and you have to be very clear about this. If you companies fail to communicate your value to your customers, they will not care about what you have to offer. So always focus on communicating your value well to them and how it solves their problems. 2. Add emotive words in your company's slogan because emotions help to create long term memories. 3. Limit the number of words on your website's main page to be no more than a few hundred words. Fewer words leads to greater impact because it is human nature to not want to read a big wall of text if the content is not something that the person is invested in.Connect with Ted on: His Website at : www.tedteo.com LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ted-teo/ Instagram at: @ted.teo Facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/tedteo
