𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬! 👇 People want to feel that they can trust you, and the quickest way you can build that trust is through storytelling. In addition, people are yearning for a real connection. Understanding this is an opportunity for you and a chance to empower people through your personal and business #stories. 👉 Talk about your failures because people want to know you’re human. 👉 Talk about your struggle to victory stories because people want to feel #inspired. 👉 Talk about a quest that you’re on because people want to know what #motivates you. 👉 Talk about something funny that you’ve experienced because people want to laugh. People relate to and are inspired by your stories, so tell them!  🗣

I still believe the fastest way to build trust is to solve a problem in someone’s life. But stories do change daily held beliefs and do build trust. In fact, the only way I know to change a deeply held belief is through a story. Love your passion for the power of stories and their power of moving people

Matt Zaun , People are drawn to stories of struggle and failure because they offer a mirror to our own vulnerabilities and challenges, reminding us that setbacks are a universal aspect of the human experience. Laughing together at these moments creates a shared sense of relief and camaraderie, reinforcing our connections and the idea that no one is perfect. Most importantly, tales of overcoming adversity inspire and motivate us, providing a beacon of hope that, regardless of our circumstances, growth and triumph are always within reach.

I love how you tell folks to talk about failures. I believe that's one of the most overlooked elements when people tell their stories.

Every time we've done a podcast or show together -- it's the stories told and told by the guests that really keep attention. I crave the behind-the-scenes and how-they-got-there and challenge-to-triumph stories on podcasts and vlogs, Matt Zaun.
