The Live Local Marketing Podcast

🔥 Why Your Story Isn’t Landing (And How to Fix It)

Most entrepreneurs lose their audience because they start with their product instead of their tension.

In this week’s Office Hours, we break down the 3-part storytelling structure that builds authority, connection, and trust without sounding salesy.

1. The Defining Tension
Start with friction. What were you frustrated by? What wasn’t working? Meet the audience in their pain.

2. The Decision Point
Where did you pivot? Say no? Take a risk? This is where hope is built.

3. The Framework You Discovered
Your story isn’t about what happened. It’s about what you now teach because of it.

If you speak on stages, podcasts, networking events, or sales calls, this framework will change how you show up.

Drop in the comments: When did you consciously choose your lane?
