She Turned Her Story Into a Business Tool (And You Can Too)

Yeah.

So at Military Creator Con, I'm going to tell you about how to take your story, that thing that you have lived in your life and craft it into a tool that you can use over and over again.

Because I think sometimes we have experienced things, whether for me, some of this stuff that I experienced originally was very raw.

And sometimes you spill that out on people in raw form.

It doesn't necessarily help you get where you need to go, right? So you might just make a random post about it because you're frustrated.

But you can potentially turn that raw frustration into a chapter of a book.

You could take that raw frustration and turn it into a podcast episode.

You could take that and turn it into a little mini docu series.

And so my my talk is really going to help leave with some tools.

So we're going to spend about 10 minutes kind of walking through some tools that I've used.

that I didn't learn in the classroom.

I've actually walked through these things myself, been an author of two books, and help you walk through what you can do to really take and hone your skills, put them into practice, and then go and make something tangible for your own story.

So the first question that comes to mind then is a lot of people, including myself, are like, why do we don't have a story to even do that? But it sounds like to you that there's a story in all of us.

We just don't use it the right way.

Yeah.

I think everybody has a story.

Everybody has a story, but sometimes we belittle our stories.

We don't think that our stories are worthy of being shared.

We don't think that our stories deserve any spotlight, or we believe that someone has already told their story.

But what we don't understand is your story has a unique fingerprint, and your unique fingerprint can touch an audience that some other person's story cannot ever touch.

And there's a person, even if it's five or 10 people that are waiting just for the way Travis might tell this story that Jasmine cannot tell.

And that's the importance of storytelling.

So this is not about me.

This is about you.

But I promise you, we're going to talk during the conference because I may have something that you might be interested in and guiding me.
