Story telling in business and content is one of those things that has been on the come up in terms of personal interest to many people (myself included) but it seems to be so difficult to find content on the topic (good content) especially for business and marketing. Thanks for this video Dan! Would love to see more about this Edit: BTW, thanks for giving me a copy of High Ticket Selling at FHL back in 2022! Great read!

Really good explanation Dan. Hadn't thought about the 'don't be the genius' angle. Thank you.

This breakdown of storytelling is packed with actionable insights. The idea of "picture copy" is so simple yet powerful-giving your audience vivid, concrete details helps them see the story without expending too much mental effort. It’s a great reminder that the more effortless the experience, the more engaged people will be. The 3X3 rule is a game-changer for crafting relatable origin stories. I love how it highlights the emotional connection between the audience’s struggles and the solution being offered. Painting that “scary bridge” not only creates tension but also positions you as the guide they need. It’s such a clever way to build trust while showcasing your value. The point about having a mentor really stood out to me. It’s easy to fall into the trap of portraying yourself as self-made, but admitting you had help makes you more relatable. Plus, framing mentors as pivotal moments or experiences opens up even more storytelling opportunities. It’s such a humanizing approach that can really resonate with people.

Before and after and a scary bridge and a mentor, learned how to go to the after they went through the mentor. The mentor can be a thing like a class, a marketing agency etc to show people to go from A to B

Loving his f*cking room.

[@JennyHansenLane]

The mentor is an experience or event 🎉🤦🏼‍♀️🔥

[@giovannymadridwealth]

This is great! The scary bridge!!

[@ErikFrits]

In the end, it's the story they remember 🧠

[@JennyHansenLane]

Have you trademarked Picture Copy? If you made it up, you should. 🔥

[@JennyHansenLane]

Tax bills. Did you ever share your 90K tax bill story? How you paid it or what you did?

[@DanHenry]

It was a $250,000 tax bill and I ended up hiring a lawyer and got it reduced to about 50 grand. I originally was trying to make the money to pay it off and then realized that I could just pay a lawyer ha ha

[@JennyHansenLane]

@@DanHenry Thanks for sharing, that's amazing. Merry Christmas Eve to the Henrys!

[@JennyHansenLane]

Maybe we should call it the scary bridge for now on.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

[@DanHenry]

[@EarthCamper]

Cool

But I get bored listening to long winded details. In fact. I got fatigue after that first point and wrote this.

[@moshbariofficial]

Long winded details are used to cover a wide range of audience. You got Fatigue doesn’t mean you’re not the right audience. It just means you got the message in the first point and perhaps another person will get it on the second.

[@JackSparrow-uh7zv]

That's why most people will never become successful. They can't even sit down and watch an 8 minute video on story telling.
