“Sameness is terrible. Your goal is to cut through it. If you have a unique perspective, you're going to take vampires or anything that everybody thinks they know and do it in a way that's really exciting and gets people really pumped up about it. There are all these incredible worlds to explore, but there just needs to be somebody that can take you there that has a different way of doing it… I want to see creators that offer something specific and unique. Specificity is key to me. I don't want a cover band. I don't want people covering what has been before. I want to see something new. I want to see a badass band with a new singer or new lyrics, a new style of music,” says Peter Katz, founder of Story Driven, a literary management and production company.  On today's episode, we speak to Peter Katz, a manager and producer championing writers with fresh, unique voices who are forging new ground. We talk about what he looks for in a writing sample, why he loves being a judge in Final Draft's Big Break screenplay competition, and why short stories are having a bright moment in the film industry.  “Recently, I've actually seen TV executives starting to think about short stories as a foundation for potential shows. It's a really effective way to communicate an idea quickly, in a really conceptual way, but also, it's not like a pitch. It's very tonal. You have character perspective and you have the style that the author brings to it. So I think it has a really unique marriage between pitching the concept, but also immersing you in a world in a very short period of time. That's why I think it's been effective in selling to a market, because you could share a short story with somebody and it doesn't demand a lot of time. If it's developed properly, you're able to learn about the potential of this project and then quickly share with somebody else on your team. And overnight, a lot of people can sign on to a project because it doesn't take as long as other mediums,” says Katz.  To hear more about Katz's perspective on the industry and what he looks for in a writer's voice, listen to the podcast.

Whose Kingdom Are You Building?Think about it: everyone's building someone's kingdomA successful friend of mine wants to start his own businessHe's made a lot of money for the owner of his companyDawned on him: why doesn't he start his own!!Today's point isn't to inspire a new generation of entrepreneursIt's to call your attention to this fact:Everyone's working for someone's kingdomEither God's or yoursToday as we meet King Herod we'll find a ruler desperate to protect his kingdom at all costs, even opposing God's eternal plan.NOTE: The Bible mentions several rulers named Herod, each playing a distinct role in different contexts.

Back when I was a TV news reporter, my days were framed by quick soundbites and even quicker deadlines. Every day, I searched for stories that would connect. My job was to make each story come alive through pointed questions that allowed my interviewees to genuinely reflect. Fast forward to now in my world as a copywriter and brand storytelling strategist, the medium has changed, but the concept of storytelling remains the same. Now, with that said, you've heard the saying, "Stories sell" right? Well, for online coaches coming up with story-driven content ideas isn't always straightforward. And get this... It's not due to a lack of creativity or drive. The real culprit is often a disproportionate balance between consumption and reflection. Tune in to this episode to find out MORE!

Writing authentically leads to the most genuine and relatable music. Whether a song is rooted in a personal experience or crafted from an imaginary situation, the goal is to write something that feels true and natural. Storytelling is a technique that allows songwriters to draw listeners into the song in an engaging way while expressing a core message and emotion. I couldn't be more excited to share my conversation with Mary Heather Hickman focusing on writing authentic and story-driven songs. We talk about being songwriters first, writing edgier and story-driven songs, storytelling in both personal and fictional songs, stepping into the shoes of a song's character while writing, tapping into our imaginations when writing story songs or ones not inspired by personal experiences, achieving authenticity while performing story songs, sharing the inspiration and story behind songs at shows, getting into the character's mindset while recording story songs, funny studio memories, the beauty of collaboration in the studio, and much more. We also explore Mary Heather's experience on the Voice, her single, “Small Town Saturday Night,” and genres in the country music industry. I had a blast chatting with Mary Heather, so I hope you love our conversation. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest?

We're focused so much on the past, we barely pay attention to the future. But just like driving, the road ahead should get 97% of our attention when we're designing our life.There's a gap between the life story we are writing and the story we want to be writing. That gap exists primarily because we are too focused on our past. To write a better life story and align the story you want to live with the one you're actually living,  you must shift your focus from the past to the future. If you want to align your dreams with your reality, this episode is for you.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSThe stories we tell create our realityDriving with the rearview mirrorWhat story are you writing?Choosing the story you want to writeACTION STEP FROM THE EPISODE:Choose one area of your life you want to write a different story: health, relationships, finances, etc. Where are you current actions out of alignment with that story?

Key things discussed: The need for deeper, more authentic connection within distributed workplaces.  Workvivo's highly interactive approach to intranet communications based in collaboration, posting and sharing – not top-down C-Suite communiques.  The strategy behind story-driven marketing – a transparent, human-centered approach that inspires customer loyalty and engagement. Case studies and some of the specific tools Gidi and his team use to generate compelling content that in turn drives revenue – a correlation too often overlooked by bottom line-driven leadership teams. The blended approach Workvivo takes to incorporating OKRs that are both transactional and inspirational – a nimble combo when it comes to maintaining employee commitment and achieving objectives in the midst of rapid growth. And finally … Speaking of scaling, Gidi explain how knitting our company cultures together through shared stories not only supports the Holy Grail of employee retention and motivation. It also sends a resonant message out into the marketplace – one that pays real dividends in sales and brand loyalty. Show Notes [00:03:53] Before and After: A look at the transformative effects of pandemic on the workplace and the way in which employees value their time.  [00:04:35] Gidi views “The Great Resignation” as a binary way of looking at a much bigger issue: Working from home has unleashed a new sensibility. Workers at all levels of the enterprise are no longer willing to place hours on the job above quality of life.  [00:06:44] Employers have had to look for ways to connect teams and build community internally to keep staff engaged even in heavily distributed environments.  [00:09:11] There is opportunity to be found in adapting to remote work — especially for smaller, agile organizations that can offer workers (particularly younger workers) a sense of meaningful human connection and belonging.   [00:10:18]  Absent a traditional water cooler environment, the chief task for leadership teams today is to build bridges among remote workers.  [00:10:41] Because 70 percent of employees are frontlines workers not connected via internet or social media channels, Gidi believes there's an historic opportunity to fill that gap, digitally enfranchising and motivating them. [00:11:28] If Gtmhub is the nervous system, Workvivo is the heart and arteries that bind company cultures in hybrid conditions that require new ways of collaboration. [00:12:18] Gidi explains how Workvivo acts as an internal communications platform – but without the cumbersome, clunky interface associated with traditional intranets. [00:13:18] Workvivo is a community-led platform that transcends one-way corporate communications to empower employee interaction similar to that on social media. Likes, comments, analytics, peer-to-peer posting of content, podcasts, livestreams. It's an entirely different user experience. [00:14:18] Corporate values, positive reinforcement and community building are central to Workvivo's rich ecosystem.   [00:18:28] All about Gideon – and the passion for storytelling that has been a driver throughout a purpose-driven marketing career that has emphasized connection. [00:20:03] Gideon shares some of the tools and rules he has developed around story-led marketing, including:   Evoking feeling is critical to winning over consumers. B2B also revolves around story – not just the features a product offers but how it will improve the company's culture or earnings potential. It's critical to invest the time to talk to/understand the customers you're targeting now – and in the future. PR, advertising and marketing are fueled by different business requirements. [00:22:28] An example of a story-led Workvivo initiative that garnered 200+ media mentions globally. It was an investment in research that paid off in a big way. [00:24:32] Gidi shares thoughts on the evolving mandate for executives: Retention. The key management strategy for keeping employees engaged and productive post-pandemic emphasizes mentorship and emotional connection – not keeping tabs.  [00:26:00] Younger generations are demanding more nurturing, more independence and the help of enlightened management in building/navigating meaningful careers. [00:29:34] Gidi reflects on the place of OKRs and measurable results. Do they align with the emotion-based mandates of story-led marketing and employee experience? Initially Workvivo's singular focus on core values didn't require OKRs, but scaling demands clear objective measures to keep the growing enterprise on track. [00:31:27] The aspects of OKRs that Gidi particularly appreciates: It's not a binary system that forces over-planning or paralysis. The guardrails foster experimentation without fear of catastrophic failure. There's room to balance “fluffy” initiatives with quantifiable measures. OKRs act as beacon – enabling teams to map to an objective vision. [00:33:34] About the adjustments Workvivo has made to their OKRs to accommodate fast growth and evolving objectives: Designating an owner to provide operational support to leadership teams in the execution of OKRs, thus preventing bottlenecks. Creating an interplay between OKRs that allows for both Transactional and Inspirational measures; a deliberate balance of realism and vision. Mapping short-term goals (i.e. quarterly) to big-picture, longer-term objectives based on interim key results. [00:37:28] Jenny shares thoughts and an example of how rigid, fixed OKR measures (in some cases not fully relevant) can produce unintended patterns and misleading data.  [00:38:57] Gidi spells out four levels of alignment necessary to achieve objectives: Process and safety. Functional systems. Relational values and approaches. Inspirational vision and clearly articulated mission. [00:40:23] Why objectives are so important – and so hard to nail. In the vast majority of cases, clearly defined desired outcomes drive successful OKR execution. [00:40:59] Jenny shares info from a Stanford Project study that diagrams four elements of means and control coordination that set organizations up for success: Direct Monitoring (such as call centers, customer experience follow-up). Peer and Cultural Control: Building an environment in which teams feel committed to showing up for and problem-solving with each other. Clearly established professional standards and protocols. Formal processes and procedures. [00:42:12] The startups that tended to fare best, according to Stanford, placed a heavy emphasis on Peer and Cultural Control – cultivating environments in which performance metrics reflect employee engagement and commitment. [00:42:55] Quick-Fire Questions for Gidi: What's your dream with a deadline? To travel around the world for a year with his wife and two kids sometime within the next six years. What do you appreciate about Workvivo and the team you lead? They are the best in the business – fierce, focused and mighty. There is a culture of “extreme ownership” that looks like a startup within a start-up. What's the biggest strategic challenge for CMOs, especially in a B2B environment? Securing respect and buy-in from executive teams who tend not to understand the sales that smart, story-driven marketing can drive.    [00:46:28] Gidi highly recommends that marketing professionals seek out companies (like Workvivo) that “get,” acknowledge and are willing to let marketing inform internal strategy beyond the transactional.

The Big Themes:Introducing Task Force Tribute (TFT): Inspired by a group of military veterans in Chicago who walked 13 miles to honor 13 service members who died during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, TFT comprises a small group of people who are traveling 7,054 miles together, to all corners of the country, one mile for every service member lost during the Global War on Terror.Creating a virtual memorial to those we've lost: During the cross-country trip, TFT will be raising awareness around its intent to collaborate with leading tech companies in the U.S. to build what Christian calls "the first highly inclusive and encompassing virtual war memorial."How listeners can get involved: Christian suggests three actions to take. First, just spend some time learning about the effort and following the journey. Second, make a donation of $70.54, or any amount, to help support the trip and the memorial. Finally, anyone who is a military member or family of a military member, reach out to the TFT team to share your stories.The Big Quote: "So many people don't want to talk about this kind of stuff, because they don't want to talk about themselves. We want to make it clear that this is an opportunity for our military members to talk about the other great women and men that they served with, and the great examples that they saw, and candidly, and provide a ground truth, if you will, to the history that they were all part of making."This episode is brought to you by BMC Software.

In this dual episode Cory tackled the narrative adventure As Dusk Falls and Basher went on a road trip in Road 97. Two games that are somewhat similar but also very different. As Dusk Falls tells a 6-8 hour story filled with narrative choices and adventures that are quite dark and very gut wrenching at times. While Road 97 also tells a story, its a bit more personal and gives people more insight to their own feelings and beliefs in the current world around us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/game-pass-or-pass/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/game-pass-or-pass/support
