    Why That Worked #29: Infomercials—What OxiClean & Shamwow Can Teach Us About Messaging That Sells

    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.

Most business owners present their products like they’re chatting over coffee, not realizing they’re competing with autoplay videos and an infinite scroll of distractions. The result? Content with no energy, clarity, or urgency. Subtle doesn’t sell. That’s why the repetitive, over-the-top style of these high-energy TV sellers still works. So what makes those pitches so effective, and how can you apply the same tactics to grow your brand?   This week, hosts Don and Kyle are unpacking two of the most legendary product pitches in TV history: OxiClean with Billy Mays and ShamWow with Vince Offer. They break down why these commercials still work, from soundbite stacking and urgent CTAs to the art of bold, dramatic language that holds attention. You’ll learn how the right pitch can create a billion-dollar brand (even for a towel). Tune in to learn how you can write better copy, make stronger pitches, and finally understand why clarity beats cleverness every time!   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand marketing coach to help you grow your brand or business!   --   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

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 dig into Shedeur Sanders’ controversial NFL draft comments, the bold branding of Liquid Death, and the rise of user and employee-generated content.

    Why That Worked #23: Dadville—The New Rules of Being a Great Dad

    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.

In sitcoms, commercials, and even day-to-day culture, they’re typically cast as bumbling sidekicks or lovable oafs who mean well but don’t quite get it right. When that narrative takes root, it can be easy for fathers to shrug and settle for doing the bare minimum (especially when they get praise for just pushing a stroller down the street). But kids need more. And deep down, every dad knows he was made for more. So what does it look like to embrace fatherhood with purpose, presence, and even a little swagger?   In this special Father’s Day episode, Don and Kyle sit down with Dave Barnes and John McLaughlin, hosts of the hit podcast Dadville. Together, they explore the most important messages a father can send his kids. They break down why dad-messaging matters, what it looks like in the real world, and how even small changes in tone or presence can echo for generations. If you’re a dad, or want to be one, listen in for a refreshing take on what it really means to show up for your family.   Check out the Dadville Podcast HERE !   --   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.
