010: The Twist: The Isolation Economy
StoryAthlete Podcast
Welcome to the Isolation Economy. In the span of one week, everything changed. What is happening right now, with the COVID-19 pandemic, is unprecedented. Few people know what is really going on. All questions, no answers. We're told to isolate ourselves. The government has mandated the closure of schools, restaurants, bars, recreational facilities, which include gyms and health clubs. Tens of millions of people have had their ability-to-provide, stripped from them. So what do we do? How do we respond?

007: The Narrative: Sitcom-Based Content
StoryAthlete Podcast
Every political strategist on earth aims to create the narrative. Why do entrepreneurs, on behalf of their product, service, and Character, not do the same? It makes no sense. Further, there are two kinds of attention: Automatic Attention vs. Controlled Attention. Most marketers spend 90% of their time fighting to get the first kind of attention. Then spend only 10% of their time to earn the right to hold and keep it. Once you learn to flip that, as StoryAthletes have, everything changes.

006: The Currency: 300 Word Stories
StoryAthlete Podcast
To purchase attention, Story is the currency required. But we aren't writing novels. We aren't Stephen King or James Patterson. Leave the Harry Potter stuff, massive plots and crafting complex narratives, to JK Rowling. The fastest way to connect with an audience is by writing 300 words. These assets are then leveraged to serve dozens of mission objectives to drive the business or cause forward. Further, 359 words. How sitcom-based content turns the audience into customers, into evangelists.

StoryAthlete Podcast
No tactic or strategy can save a poorly designed business model. Once you go down the wrong rabbit-hole, regarding product-design or concept, trying to escape that deficit, pretty much destroys you. Plenty of entrepreneurs know this truth. Design it right. Build it once. Pivot when needed. Design it wrong? Struggle forever. So, let's talk model. Or, more importantly, let's talk objective.

004: The Advantage: The Just Cause
StoryAthlete Podcast
Our reputation, good or bad, gets created in minutes. Not weeks, months or years. That reputation then spreads at the speed of social media. Ten years ago, Conscious Capitalism wasn't a phrase anyone knew. Sinek wasn't writing about the companies, best positioned for the long-game, are those passionately fighting for a Just Cause. Times have changed. Entrepreneurs are affected. Those who adapt, win. Those who don't, die. A Just Cause is the ultimate advantage.

003: The Endgame: To Kill Financial Stress
StoryAthlete Podcast
The old methods of business no longer work. Times have changed. Most entrepreneurs are taught a system that focuses on marketing and sales. This leads to two (compounding) fatal outcomes. Commoditized products and services. And ineffective, sensationalized marketing. This ends in the intense need to sell, sell, sell. Where Relationship-equity is the after-thought. Leading the business to extreme foundational weakness. To change this, StoryAthletes deploy the Profitable Impact Business.

002: The Opportunity: The One Enemy
StoryAthlete Podcast
Lesser Self vs. Heroic Self. If you defeat this one enemy, everything you want in life can be had. This Enemy, the Lesser Self that lives inside of all of us, is the cause of "Someday Syndrome." It is responsible for every problem in our life. Broken business. Fat. Out fo shape. Neglected relationships. Everything is everybody else's fault. No. Not true. And once we defeat this Enemy, the Lesser Self, everything changes for us. Transformation happens. We become the light to others in the Dark.
