You know that feeling when you're scrolling through social media and everything starts to look... the same? AI-generated captions, templated posts, marketing formulas that feel about as authentic as a plastic rose? Yeah, me too. And it's exactly why I'm on my soapbox today about something I'm ridiculously passionate about: the absolute game-changing power of storytelling.
In this Lisa Bytes episode, I'm sharing why story isn't just nice-to-have content filler - it's the secret weapon that cuts through all the noise, especially in this age of AI everything. Plus, I'm getting real about my own journey from trying to outsource my voice (spoiler: epic fail) to discovering that being authentically me is actually what people want to hear.
What You'll Learn:
- Why AI content is making everyone sound like robots - and how real stories are your antidote
- The moment I realised my audience could smell outsourced content from a mile away
- How I found the golden thread for this entire podcast season (thanks, Nick!)
- Why "What's the Story?" became one of my most successful programs
- The contrarian marketing approach that's about to change everything
- How storytelling works in literally every area of life (yes, even parenting!)
Resources Mentioned:
- "What's the Story?" program
- "Grief Notes" - 30 days of audio support
- Ryan Levesque's newsletter on contrarian marketing

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
