    Episode 8 - Ad for Jingles Made a Poop

    I created this ad for a story contest I entered. Winning the contest gives an animal charity of your choice a nice sized donation of money and food. The ad also has a video version. I used ElevenLabs, Pixabay and Audible for the audio version.

    Episode 7 - Let'em Select the Narrative

    This episode features radio station WII-FM's Business Beat program. Host Walter Winner tells the story of salesman Mike Colgate, who successfully presented to an unexpected audience of 100 people using an innovative technique called the "Selective Narrative." The technique was developed by Colgate and presentation designer Joe Pops, this "choose your own adventure" style presentation method allows audiences to control the flow and topics, solving the common "parachute problem" where presenters are dropped into unfamiliar situations. Using advanced PowerPoint features, the technique creates genuine engagement by making audience members active participants rather than passive recipients. The approach not only adapts to different audiences on the fly but also keeps presenters from getting bored with repetitive presentations. Walter Winner explores how this method could revolutionize corporate communications in an era of short attention spans, though it requires more sophisticated preparation and technical knowledge.

    Episode 5 - Cracking the Code for Clarity

    Cracking the Code for Clarity. This episode is a noir-style detective story that teaches the difference between metaphors and analogies for presentations. The story follows a detective helping a client named Clarity, who keeps losing her audience during business presentations. Through the detective narrative, it explains that: Lady Metaphor transforms ideas by stating "this IS that" without using "like" or "as" - she's poetic and works through imagery and emotionMister Analogy is more methodical, using "like" or "as" to systematically compare unfamiliar concepts to familiar ones for understandingThe key takeaway: Use metaphors to evoke emotion, analogies to explain concepts, and both together when selling. The episode emphasizes that presentations need more than just facts - they need imagination and memorable comparisons to stick with audiences. Clarity leaves with a newfound understanding of how to use a consistent metaphor throughout her presentations while incorporating analogies to make complex ideas accessible.
