Chances are, you already know that story is everything when it comes to growing your business. Customers who feel invited into a narrative engage more, understand more, and buy more. The harder question has always been a practical one: where do these stories actually go, and how do you write them without starting from scratch every time?
In this episode, Donald Miller shares the exact 7-part AI prompt he uses with clients to transform flat copy into story-driven messaging, from landing pages to keynotes to product descriptions on Amazon. He walks through how to name the problem, agitate it emotionally, state a clear need, and only then introduce your product as the solution. Use this formula correctly, and you're not just writing better marketing. You're making it nearly impossible for your customer to look away.

If people can't quickly and easily understand what your product can do for them, they'll skip you and move on.
Your tagline is probably the most important piece of marketing collateral you can write. And most businesses get it wrong.
Do you know exactly what to say when someone asks you about what you sell? If not, you need to. But it's easier than you might think. In this episode you'll learn the five short soundbites that you can use to get people to quickly understand and engage with your product. The five soundbites are: 1. Problem 2. Empathy 3. Answer 4. Change 5. End Result Once you have these soundbites figured out, it will actually be easy to use them to write your company's tagline, elevator pitch, website, and all the other marketing collateral you've been struggling to get right.
How do you know if your marketing is going to work? Most people fly by the seat of their pants: they rely on a gut instinct or a general consensus, but those aren't actually very reliable. They're certainly not worth risking the future of your business on.
