Think you need an epic hero’s journey to make your podcast memorable? Think again.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why small, everyday stories — the kind that take 30 seconds to tell — can be even more powerful than an elaborate narrative.

Micro-stories trigger memories, spark emotion, and make your content stick. They're faster to tell, easier for your audience to connect to, and (bonus!) they make you way more relatable.

Here’s what we cover:

1. Why micro-stories work better than you think for business podcasts

2. How a quick real-life moment creates visuals, emotions, and trust

3. Why listeners remember shared human experiences (not facts and features)

4. The secret connection between storytelling, memory, and client conversion

5. How short stories can make your lessons land without feeling “salesy”

And yes, I’m sharing a real (and slightly embarrassing) story about how I once got kicked off Apple Podcasts. Yep, even podcast coaches have rookie mistakes. (And yep, it made me a better podcaster — and coach.)

If you’ve ever felt like storytelling was too big, too complicated, or just out of reach for your podcast — this episode will show you how simple it can be.

Because your audience doesn’t need an epic.

They just need you to be real.
