Start Where You Are, Master One Format: You don't need to be a tech wizard or have celebrity status to make an impact. Focus on one content format or platform you resonate with, master it, and then consider diversifying. Social Media Is a Scalable, Accessible Tool: Whatever your business, message, or ambition—social media gives everyone the power to reach millions, drive impact, and even build billion-dollar brands, all with the phone in your pocket. Sound Bites: “It's not about going viral for the sake of virality. True digital success is about the stories that connect people to who we are and what we stand for.” “If you can master authentic storytelling, it doesn't matter if you're a dentist or a rock star—you can build an audience and scale your business.” “Success on social isn't about the platforms you post on, but about how powerfully you tell your story and why the world should care.” Connect & Discover Brendan: Website: https://brendanjkane.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/brendankane Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrendanJamesKane/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanjkane/ Book: The Guide to Going Viral Book: Hook Point Book: One Million Followers: How I Built a Massive Social Following in 30 Days

Depuis toujours, l'homme a toujours su cultiver l'art de raconter des histoires pour captiver ou convaincre. Dans les années 90, aux États-Unis puis en Europe, naît le concept de « Storytelling » avec une structure narrative qui suscite émotion et identification et devient le moteur des campagnes de publicité ou électorales. Comment expliquer le succès de ces façonneurs d'images et de mots ? Quels sont les rouages de cette « machine à raconter » ?  C'est depuis les années 90 une nouvelle façon de communiquer. Le mot de storytelling a déjà plus de 30 ans, puisqu'il apparaît dès les années 90 aux États-Unis, en pleines révolutions managériale et capitaliste. Dans l'entreprise, dans le marketing, en politique, le storytelling est devenu la panacée, perçu comme un nouveau mode de communication.  « Depuis quinze ans, il y a eu beaucoup de découvertes et d'innovations, surtout dans le domaine des médias et de la communication », nous dit Christian Salmon. Il y a quinze ans, le storytelling était encore une communication verbale, humaine. Depuis, le smartphone et les réseaux sociaux ont été inventés et chacun peut devenir un storyteller induit par des machines narratives. Il faut se présenter. Il faut performer. Il faut se raconter.  Aujourd'hui, on ne vend plus des produits, mais des histoires. Un produit ne vaut que parce qu'il est agrégé à une histoire. Aujourd'hui, il y a même des festivals de storytelling aux États-Unis (près de deux cents !). On intègre des griots et des conteurs dans les entreprises. Le narratif emprunte aux formes traditionnelles de récits.  C'est parfois fait presque de manière infantile. On crée des récits comme on parlerait à des enfants. Invité : Christian Salmon, écrivain et chercheur. Il fonde en 1993 le Parlement international des écrivains. Il a publié, il y a une quinzaine d'années, Storytelling – La machine à fabriquer des histoires et à formater les esprits aux éditions La Découverte en 2013. À partir du 8 septembre, il animera un cycle de conférences sur les usages du récit dans nos sociétés au Théâtre de la Bastille.    Et la chronique Ailleurs aux États-Unis nous fait rencontrer Farah Thyma qui a fondé depuis la ville de Philipsburg, La Relève, en 2021, une bibliothèque numérique qui permet aux enfants, adolescents et étudiants d'Haïti, de Côte d'Ivoire et des États-Unis d'emprunter des livres numériques gratuitement.  Programmation musicale : Les artistes Stromae avec le DJ allemand Paul Kalkbrenne avec le titre Que ce soit clair.

In this episode of Authors On Mission podcas5, host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Kay A. Oliver—veteran Hollywood screenwriter turned celebrated mystery author—to explore the art of storytelling, the power of editing, and the journey from screen to page. Kay shares her writing philosophy, the inspiration behind her Shaw's Investigation series, and practical advice for aspiring authors looking to find their voice and refine their craft.✍️ Writing Tips from Kay A. OliverStart with a novella to learn the publishing process and build confidence.Don't chase perfection in your first draft—great novels are built in the editing stage.Visualize your story like a movie to enhance pacing and emotional impact.Use real people as character inspiration to add depth and realism.Incorporate human quirks—speech patterns, pauses, and gestures—to make dialogue authentic.Foreshadow subtly, letting readers discover clues organically.Find an editor who loves your genre and understands your voice.Put part of yourself into your story to make it resonate with readers.Use AI for brainstorming, but keep your unique voice at the heart of fiction.Support fellow writers, especially women, to build a stronger creative community.#AuthorsOnMission #KayAOliver #WritingTips #MysteryNovels #StorytellingCraft #WomenWriters #PodcastInterview #IndieAuthors #CreativeProcess #HollywoodToBooks #AIandWriting #BookMarketing #WritersLife

Es wirkt alles so menschlich – und doch spürst du, irgendwas stimmt hier nicht? Social Media ist voll von gefühlvollen Offenbarungen, die klingen, als hätte der Algorithmus gerade den spirituellen Erleuchtungsblitz gehabt – oder war's doch ein Mensch mit grünem Tee? Was passiert, wenn Ghostwriter-Herzblut, echte Zweifel und KI-Magie zusammentreffen? Entsteht echtes Gefühl, Fake-Geschichten oder ein bisl von beidem? Die Folge ist eine Einladung zum Kopfschütteln, Schmunzeln und Nachdenken, wie sehr Echtheit und gute Storys sich im Netz noch erkennen lassen – und warum so ein kleiner Zweifel vielleicht unser größter Schatz ist. / 129

The above video was created from a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation created with the help of Microsoft Copilot. It essentially expanded on the presentation I created in the last video (based on an article by Jamie K. Wilson, The Death of Enchantment).I was actually, for the most part, disappointed with this creation—too abstract, almost devoid of life. But I thought you should be able to compare my original video at https://bookmarketing.substack.com/p/what-hollywood-sadly-has-forgotten with the above video created by PowerPoint and Copilot but vocalized by me.I suspect I won't be using Copilot anymore to create videos.

With this episode, we're putting on our music hat. For a program that relies so much on scoring and sound, it's not often we talk about the musicians and the music they make that inspire us. Today, that changes. Today, we bring you two stories. Each about musicians that our former host and creator of Radiolab, Jad Abumrad, loves. We originally released these stories many years ago, and both start deep in music itself. Then quickly, they dig deeper — into our relationships with technology, and ourselves. We start with the band Dawn of Midi, who straddle the intersection between acoustic and electronic sounds. Jad talks to the band about their album, Dysnomia, and how it's filled with heavily-layered rhythms that feel both mechanistic and deeply human, at the same time.Then, Jad talks with Juana Molina, an Argentine singer who accidentally became a famous actress, when all along all she really wanted was to be a musician. Special thanks to Dawn of Midi and Juana Molina.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - JAD ABUMRAD EPISODE CITATIONS:Check out Dawn of Midi at dawnofmidi.com and Juana Molina at juanamolina.comSignup for our newsletter!!

On this Fragrance Friday special of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta is joined by Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, the visionary founders of The Maker—a brand that blends fragrance, design, and hospitality into an immersive sensory world. Known for revolutionizing beauty with Fresh, Lev and Alina have taken their creativity further, building an environment where scent is more than perfume—it's memory, fantasy, and emotion brought to life.Their journey began with The Maker Hotel in Hudson, New York, a living canvas of textures and stories, where each space feels like stepping into a narrative. From there, they expanded into fragrance—crafting scents that don't follow rigid note pyramids but instead tell stories. Each bottle is its own world: Fire, inspired by intimate nights by the fireplace; Naked, a celebration of dawn and intimacy; and Revel, born from the joy of milestones and love, designed to bottle life's most unforgettable moments.For Lev, this connection to fragrance runs deep. Growing up in Soviet Russia with limited access to perfumes, he witnessed the transformative power of a single French fragrance his mother acquired on the black market—an experience that shaped his lifelong belief in scent as a gateway to emotion and memory.The Maker's fragrances are intentionally genderless, designed to be universal yet deeply personal, allowing wearers to interpret them through their own lives. More than a brand, The Maker is an invitation to pause, savor, and connect with beauty in a fast-paced world. Tune in to hear Lev and Alina share the inspirations behind The Maker, their creative philosophy, and how they're redefining what fragrance can mean.To learn more about The Maker, visit their website and social media.

Host Tina Yeager sits down with Hannah Pierrou—storyteller, artist, author, and founder of Treehouse Storytellers—to explore the topic of misunderstood promises, especially those that shape our families and culture. Together, they discuss: Cultural Promises vs. God's Truth: How our society's shifting narratives affect both adults and kids, and what it means to reclaim biblical promises in the face of distortion. The Rainbow's True Meaning: Drawing from her new children's book, Misunderstood: A Girl with a Promise the World Forgot, Hannah shares the story of the rainbow from a God-centered perspective, and how its meaning has been reclaimed through creative storytelling. Creativity as Worship: Hannah opens up about the powerful connection between creativity and our identity as image-bearers of God, encouraging us to embrace art and storytelling as acts of worship. Helping Our Kids Stand Firm: Practical advice for parents to build strong, grace-filled foundations at home—equipping children to navigate conflicting messages with compassion and biblical truth. Finding Healing and Identity: For those who have been hurt or left empty by the world's counterfeit promises, Hannah and Tina talk about God's compassionate path to healing and the unshakeable identity we find in Christ.
