Welcome back to Your World of Creativity, where we travel the globe talking with creative professionals who turn ideas into impact.Today, we're stamping our creative passport in Geneva, Switzerland to talk about the power of story — specifically, how organizations can transform their messaging when they stop talking about themselves and start seeing the world through the eyes of their customers.Our guest is John Elbing, business storytelling consultant, founder of Standpoint, and creator of the Storybuilding method.https://standpoint.chhttps://linkedin.com/in/elbingJohn helps organizations flip the script by building brand stories from the customer's perspective rather than from inside the organization. His work helps leadership and marketing teams sharpen positioning, align messaging, and simplify marketing decisions.He's also the author of the international bestselling book Storybuilding.Why Most Brand Stories Miss the MarkJohn, many companies think they already have a strong story — but often that story is centered on themselves instead of the customer.What's the biggest mistake organizations make when they build their messaging from the inside out instead of from the customer's perspective?And how does that shift in perspective change the way a brand connects emotionally with people?The Storybuilding MethodYou created the Storybuilding method as a practical framework for organizations.Walk us through the core idea behind Storybuilding.How do you help leadership and marketing teams move from simply “telling a story” to actually building one that shapes alignment, positioning, and growth?Story as a Tool for Team AlignmentOne thing I find fascinating in your work is that storytelling isn't just external marketing — it becomes an internal alignment tool.How does a shared story help teams make clearer decisions about branding, marketing, and even company direction?Have you seen organizations transform simply because they finally got everyone speaking the same narrative language?Emotion, Perception, and Being RememberedYou often talk about how brands should focus not only on what they do, but how they are seen and felt by their audience.Why is emotional perception such an important part of storytelling today? (You'll enjoy the personal story about the artwork on John's wall.)And what can businesses do to create stories that people actually remember — and respond to?Flipping the Script on Your Own StoryFor entrepreneurs, consultants, and creatives listening today, many are deeply attached to their own story and expertise.What advice would you give someone who needs to flip the script and start seeing their brand from the audience's standpoint instead of their own? John shares an idea he calls “trigger moments.” And what tends to happen when they finally make that shift?John, if listeners walk away with just one insight about storytelling and brand positioning, what would you most want them to remember?If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, share it with a colleague or creative friend, and leave us a review.And remember: sometimes the most powerful shift in creativity happens when you stop asking, “What do we want to say?” and start asking, “What does our audience need to feel?”

Dhrasti: Changing Your Standpoint on Money, Success, and Conditioning   We are taught that a 9-to-5 job is the safe route and entrepreneurship is a risky gamble. But the truth is, a paycheck is only guaranteed until you're let go. In this episode, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Pratiqk Jaani, an accountant turned hypnotherapist and author of Dhrasti: The Perception, to explore how childhood conditioning controls our financial destinies. Pratiqk shares his incredible journey—from taking eight years to overcome his fear of starting a business, to a life-altering battle with tuberculosis that forced him to surrender his expectations. He explains how our core programming is locked in between ages 0 and 12, why "needy energy" repels clients, and why even our concepts of happiness and sadness are simply learned behaviors. If you're tired of chasing societal definitions of success, this conversation will help you shift your standpoint and find peace in the present.   Key Takeaways: The myth of the safe paycheck and why it takes so long to break free. How "needy energy" kills sales, and why a value-focus attracts clients effortlessly. Why a health crisis often serves as the ultimate catalyst for personal surrender. The concept of "Dhrasti"—shifting the standpoint from which you view your life. Why happiness and sadness are conditioned responses learned before age 12. The power of "de-labeling" events as good or bad to find true inner stability.   Key Insights: Fear of entrepreneurship is often socialized long before it is rationalized. People can feel when you are trying to extract value instead of create it. Much of adult stress may be tied to old patterns rather than current reality. Inner peace often comes less from control and more from surrender and perspective.   Money Learning from Pratiqk:  One of the most useful financial lessons in this conversation is that money should not sit at the center of every decision. Pratiqk describes how his early conditioning taught him to fear financial risk and chase security, but entrepreneurship showed him something different: when he focused on what he was going to earn, he came across as needy; when he focused on the value he could create, clients trusted him. His broader lesson is that money works best as fuel—not identity, not safety, and not self-worth.   Why This Conversation Matters:  This episode matters because many people are living out scripts they never consciously wrote—about money, work, success, happiness, and even what a "good life" should look like. Rocky and Pratiqk bring that invisible programming into the open. For entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals feeling pressure, anxiety, or misalignment, this conversation is a reminder that changing your external results may begin with changing the standpoint from which you interpret your life.   About Pratiqk Jaani: Pratiqk Jaani is the author of Dhrasti: The Perception and creator of the Dhrasti Method, a practical three-day immersive experience designed to help people shift from stress and scarcity into clarity and inner stability. After 20 years as an accountant and tax advisor working closely with entrepreneurs and professionals, he began noticing a deeper pattern beneath financial pressure, relationship struggles, and anxiety: it wasn't circumstance driving suffering, it was conditioning shaping perception.   His work focuses on helping adults understand how childhood programming silently governs identity, ambition, relationships, and emotional reactions, and how shifting perception changes the lived experience of life itself. Rather than framing his work as spiritual or clinical, Pratiqk teaches a grounded shift into what he calls the observer state. Through his book, 30-day integration practice, guided audios, and live experiences, he helps people retrain their nervous system toward a natural state of calm. His message is simple: your external life may not change overnight, but the way you experience it can transform immediately   Links:  Websites: http://pratiqkjaani.com Dhrastimethod.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pratiqkjaani/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pratiqkjaani/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janipratikk   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada MP Melissa Lantsman joined Standpoint to talk to Gabe about Carney's disastrous response to the war in Iran, the trade situation with Trump, antisemitism in Canada and why the Conservative movement in Canada is the future of our neighbor to the North.

TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the NHL trade deadline, the Maple Leafs' team future and players that will be traded, the management's perspective, Auston Matthews and William Nylnder's perception of the tough season, the defensive being floated in the league, Canadiens' goaltending future and more.

In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with John Elbing, Business Storytelling Strategist and founder of Standpoint, for a thoughtful conversation on how organizations can tell stronger innovation stories by shifting perspective outward. This interview is the second in The Storytellers Series, where I invite other storytellers I deeply admire, people who bring their own lenses, frameworks, and lived experience to the craft of story. John introduces his Story Building Method, a three-stage framework built around recognition, perception, and projection. He explains why compelling stories help customers recognize themselves first, understand where a brand fits second, and finally imagine what life looks like after engaging with a product or service. Throughout the discussion, John emphasizes that storytelling works best when it allows customers to see themselves as the hero of the narrative rather than being positioned as an audience to a company's internal achievements. The conversation also explores why narrowing focus can actually expand impact. John challenges the overuse of demographic personas and argues for building stories around aspirations and challenges instead. By targeting what people are trying to achieve or overcome, organizations can connect with audiences that may look very different on the surface but share the same underlying motivations. Susan and John unpack real-world examples from consumer brands, B2B software, and even nonprofit work to show how this approach changes clarity, positioning, and engagement.   They also address common storytelling mistakes, from overreliance on clever language to feature-heavy messaging that misses emotional relevance. John makes a strong case for clarity over cleverness and explains why the most effective brand stories are the ones that make customers feel seen, understood, and supported. The episode closes with John sharing how listeners can continue the conversation through his book, Story Building, and offering a complimentary 45-minute pre-call consultation for those looking to sharpen their own innovation story.

IN CLEAR FOCUS: Brand strategist John Elbing of Standpoint explains why people don't care about your story, they care about how you fit into theirs. John introduces his "Storybuilding" methodology, a canvas-based approach that helps companies find their foundational story before crafting marketing messages. He breaks down the three stages of encountering a brand—Recognition, Perception, and Projection—and shares how to use AI as a sparring partner to achieve authentic customer-centricity.

Storytelling is easy to talk about—and hard to do well. On this episode of On Brand, I'm joined by John Elbing, Chief Storybuilder Officer at Standpoint, to unpack how his Storybuilding approach helps startups and brands clarify their value, sharpen their pitch, and actually connect—with a framework so effective it's now a #1 international bestselling book. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why most brands jump to storytelling tactics before they understand the story they should be telling How recognition, perception, and projection shape whether people connect with your brand Why customer standpoint matters more than founder backstory How structure can unlock creativity instead of killing it A simple way leaders can improve their story starting this week Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (01:15) Why storytelling became a buzzword (02:50) Storytelling vs storybuilding (04:00) Coaching startups to find focus and alignment (07:30) Why the customer—not the founder—is the hero (08:05) Recognition, perception, and projection explained (16:00) Aspirations, problems, and emotional contrast (21:30) One practical fix leaders can make today (24:00) A brand that made John smile About John Elbing John Elbing is the Chief Storybuilder Officer at Standpoint and a leading authority on Business Storytelling for startups and growth-focused organizations.

What Brand Has Made John Smile Recently? John shared the story of Felco, a Swiss company known worldwide for its professional-grade garden shears. What began as a durable tool brand for field workers uncovered a passionate fan base of everyday gardeners—some so devoted they'd tattoo the logo. By recognizing different customer aspirations and building distinct story worlds around them, Felco expanded into new audiences, including children, proving that even the most practical products can build emotional connection when the story is built from the user's standpoint.

He reveals behind-the-scenes insights into military deterrence, Iranian threats, the Abraham Accords and the tragic lessons of October 7. In a bold defense of the “Pompeo Doctrine” affirming the legality of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, Pompeo underscores how truth, strength and biblical history must guide America's stance on Israel.

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. Dr. Krista Bontrager, the Theology Mom  and full-time ministry partner at the Center for Biblical Unity, joins me to dive into a discussion that we will probably need to have generation after generation because of how pervasive the lies of liberation theology are currently within our traditional ideologies. Why does the church seem so divided over the Christian profession? Why do so many professing Christians seem to adopt worldly philosophies under the guise of "justice"? Dr. Bontrager studied the ever-evolving tentacles of standpoint theory; from the well known ideologies of James Cone to the less well known step-child of feminist standpoint theory. Apparently, they all dwell in one big deceptive family,Do you know how these ideas may have invaded the ways you read the scriptures? Do we all need new, ethnic methods of understanding God's word? Should this episode be thrown in the trash merely because Krista is white? Leave us your thoughts! ----Krista Bontrager is a public theologian and fourth generation Bible teacher. She is an author, podcaster, and former university professor. Krista has a unique ability to connect theology with real life. Krista has worked professionally in theology and apologetics for over 25 years and transitioned into full time ministry with the Center for Biblical Unity in 2021.
