Disney is known for its fantastical immersion factor, meaning their storytelling never fails to suck you into its wonder… much like Alice falling into Wonderland! Though, many businesses struggle to convey the heart of their brand’s story through storytelling and immersive writing. Why is that? How can businesses organically create that Disney-level immersion factor? This week’s guest is going to illustrate how you can integrate storytelling and creative immersion through your marketing strategy, content creation, and creative process. Doing this will not only connect you with your target audience, but turn passive followers into super fans and then into super consumers. Listen in as Rita welcomes Geoffrey Golden, an LA-based narrative designer and game creator, to have a magical discussion about immersive writing and storytelling for businesses. In this episode, Geoffrey and Rita discuss: How Geoffrey’s love for The Muppets has influenced his career as a creator and designer. Tips and advice for business owners on telling their brand story authentically and creatively. How his email newsletter, Adventure Snack, became so successful. Walt Disney’s eccentric approaches to storytelling. How to start your business like a movie.

In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, Rita Richa sits down with Tim Carroll, CEO of Lyric Workplace and author of Workplace: Reclaiming In-Person Work in a Remote-Obsessed World, to unpack why the best parts of work still happen when we're together — and why that has almost nothing to do with mandating five days in a cubicle.
In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, Rita Richa sits down with Becky Pierson, community strategist and founder of Affinity Collective, for a conversation that flips everything you think you know about building an audience. Becky's background in product, UX, and tech means she doesn't build communities on vibes; she builds them on research, positioning, and a clear-eyed answer to one question: is this actually about you, or about them?
What if getting featured everywhere has less to do with your budget — and everything to do with your story? In this episode of Bippity Boppity Business, Rita Richa sits down with Nicole Pearl — PR coach, publicity strategist, and a magazine editor and journalist with more than 20 years in the media world (yes, she actually lived the Devil Wears Prada life). After building her own personal brand as The Beauty Girl and landing herself on everything from national TV to the Today Show — from a single social post — Nicole now helps small business founders get press without spending a fortune.
What if the reason your message isn't landing has nothing to do with what you're saying, and everything to do with how you're showing up?
What if your brand has been trying to tell you something, and you just haven't been listening to your space?
