Sample Talks
Your Story is the Marketing Strategy
I never thought that growing up chubby would inspire me to write a book and launch a new business. But it did. In this talk, I reveal how I crafted my own life story into the marketing strategy that drives my business. Using the story structure of three acts and five main points, I'll demonstrate how narrative is a powerful tool for marketing a business and living a life with authenticity and joy.
