Why Your “Why” Matters So Much (Bonus EP33)

The best social sharing snippet from Jude in this interview... "That is why I believe your marketing is more than your portfolio, because you need to come from a different place. When clients are thinking about, why should I work with you? Versus any and every other option available to me, that question really boils down to why you, and that why you is more than just your portfolio. You have to dig deeper than that."In this episode, I talk with Jude Charles, a master storyteller dedicated to helping entrepreneurs tell their stories in powerful ways. Having worked with clients like Google and Steve Harvey, and author of the book Dramatic Demonstration, Jude reveals his approach to capturing real moment narratives beyond portfolios. We go through a live demonstration of his Story Bank Journal. A super easy way for business owners to find and tell impactful stories.
