    StoryBrand Podcast #38: BIG NEWS—Introducing The StoryBrand Podcast

    Welcome to the first episode of The StoryBrand Podcast (formerly Why That Worked), where we're doubling down on what actually grows businesses: clear messaging. Most business owners are too close to their own work to explain it clearly. They tweak and refine, but your customers still don't "get it." That's why we're hitting reset on this podcast and going back to the foundation of great messaging.    In this premier episode, Kyle Reed and Donald Miller kick things off with a full masterclass on the StoryBrand framework so you can stop confusing customers and start winning more sales. Don breaks down the 7 sound bites that make messaging land every time, why the brain buys to survive and conserve calories, and how to position yourself as the guide with empathy and authority. You'll also get a one-liner exercise you can use at parties, pitches, and on your homepage.

    Why That Worked #37: Slate—Why This $20K Truck Is Getting All the Attention (RE-RELEASE)

    Exciting news, Hero Makers! We're sharing a new episode of Why That Worked – Presented by StoryBrand.AI, with Donald Miller back in the host seat. This new show uncovers why certain ideas, brands, and strategies succeed—so you can think differently and apply those insights to your business and life.   Hopefully you're getting a chance to recharge this summer—but that doesn't mean you have to lose momentum. Fall is just around the corner, and before you know it we'll be heading into the final stretch of the year. That's why (for just a couple more weeks) we're rereleasing several of our high-impact episodes— designed to give you clarity, sharpen your message, attract the right customers, and ultimately drive more revenue, so you're not stuck playing catch-up when it matters most!     --   In crowded markets, being different isn't enough. You have to communicate how you're different. Too many businesses blend in because they focus on what the competition is doing instead of what customers actually care about. You might offer better pricing, better service, or a better product, but if you don't say it clearly, it won't matter. Messaging that stands out starts with understanding what your audience hates about the current options and then owning the opposite. The brands that win don't just have better products. They have better words. So how do you find the message that sticks?   In this episode, Donald Miller and Kyle Reed unpack the viral product launch of Slate, a new affordable and customizable electric truck. They analyze the messaging strategy behind Slate's viral launch video, and how the brand positioned itself against high-priced vehicles with a fun, customer-focused message. Listen in and learn how to build a controlling idea that creates clarity and focuses on what customers really want.   --   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

    Why That Worked #36: Annoying Ads—The Dumbest Campaigns That Won Your Attention and Made Millions (RE-RELEASE)

    Exciting news, Hero Makers! We're sharing a new episode of Why That Worked – Presented by StoryBrand.AI, with Donald Miller back in the host seat.

But in the end, clarity beats creativity every time. In fact, some of the most "annoying" ads in history made hundreds of millions of dollars simply because they were impossible to ignore. They weren't beautiful, they weren't clever, but they were unforgettable. So why do so many businesses avoid this approach? Because we assume our customers want sophistication, when what they really need is a message that's crystal clear and easy to remember. If your ad gets ignored, it doesn't matter how gorgeous it is.   In this week's episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed discuss the genius behind annoying marketing campaigns like HeadOn, Chia Pet, and the George Foreman Grill. You'll learn why these seemingly ridiculous ads worked, how they used repetition and simplicity to dominate attention, and what you can take away to sharpen your own message. Tune in to learn how to make your marketing stick no matter how simple (or obnoxious) it may seem.   --   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

In the noisy world of personal branding, it's easy to assume you need a slick image or a viral strategy to break through. But that's not what people are looking for. They want someone who feels real and honest. But how much is too much to share? And how do you stay grounded when your face becomes your brand? These are the questions that haunt creators, entrepreneurs, and professionals alike. So how do you strike the right balance?   In this week's episode, Donald Miller and Kyle Reed sit down with bestselling author and speaker Annie F. Downs, who's built a deeply human, wildly successful personal brand rooted in hope and honesty. They unpack how Annie shaped her brand over the years, how she discovered her "controlling idea," and why she's leaned into the very things she used to avoid. You'll learn the role of consistency, why timing matters more than transparency, and how to craft a message that's strategic and soul-aligned.

You have to position it so customers instantly understand the value. That's what separates the brands that break through from the ones that disappear. Magic Spoon didn't invent cereal, they just told a better story: one where protein replaces sugar, and taste isn't sacrificed for health. And they did it with a smart tagline, a well-defined villain, and a brand voice that made people pay attention. So how can you sharpen your positioning to you stand out like they did?   In this episode, Don and Kyle break down the marketing genius behind Magic Spoon's rise in a crowded cereal market and how it became a household name. From tackling the sugar-loaded bad-guys of the breakfast aisle to delivering a tagline that opens a story loop and closes the sale, Magic Spoon gives us a playbook worth copying.

Until you have to do it. You brainstorm, you debate, and you finally land on something… only to find yourself explaining it to people over and over. That's the real test of a name: if you have to explain it, it's not working. The truth is, your name or tagline is doing more heavy lifting than you realize. It's your first impression, elevator pitch, and clearest hook all rolled into a few words. So why do some names work instantly while others fall flat? And how do you make sure yours is good?   In today's episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed break down the art and science of naming and tagline creation, using the podcast app Snipd as a case study. They explore how a name that sounds clever can still confuse your audience, and why instant clarity always beats creativity. You'll hear a practical breakdown of how to avoid the "curse of knowledge," how to test if your name really works, and what makes a tagline stick in someone's brain.

That's exactly why we're rereleasing several of our high-impact episodes—designed to give you clarity, sharpen your message, attract the right customers, and ultimately drive more revenue, so you're not stuck playing catch-up when it matters most!     --   Southwest Airlines built one of the strongest brands in the world by doing one thing better than almost anyone: clear, clever messaging that made customers feel like family. "Bags fly free" was more than a tagline. It was a promise that set them apart from every other airline. But when they recently backtracked on that core message, the backlash was instant. In a world where loyalty is fragile and expectations are sky-high, even the best brands can stumble if they don't communicate the right way. So what happens when a company known for brilliant messaging gets it wrong?   In this week's episode, Don and Kyle unpack the marketing brilliance that made Southwest an iconic brand and why their latest messaging misstep is such a big deal. They reveal how Southwest's playful, people-first branding created an unbeatable bond with customers, and how this new shift risks breaking that trust. You'll learn what Southwest could have done differently, why your messaging must evolve without abandoning what made you great, and how to communicate tough changes without losing customer loyalty.

Most businesses struggle to identify the most compelling issue their customer is trying to solve. They either talk about too many things or pick a problem that's too vague. When that happens, customers stop listening. But when you finally address the problem that makes your customers say "yep, that's me!", sales start to climb. That's what Airbnb just nailed with their new messaging campaign. So, how do you figure out the exact problem your business solves in a way that drives real results?   In this episode, Don and Kyle break down Airbnb's latest messaging campaign and why it hits the mark so effectively. They unpack the brilliance behind how Airbnb redefined the problem it solves and how you can apply the same strategy to your own business. You'll learn a simple way to clarify the problem your customer actually cares about and how to build an effective messaging campaign around it.
