Hot on the heels of our Harris III conversation, we have another great podcast episode featuring master storyteller Carla Johnson. What makes Carla unique is her focus on shifting people from being recipients of a story to actually having an experience related to the story. We explore how that can be done, the benefits to consumers, and which brands are already starting to embrace that technique.

When thinking about a well-rounded group of guests for this podcast, talking with a successful improv and stand-up comedian made perfect sense. After all, if they can’t quickly engage an audience they’re sunk! So, we were excited to have recently crowned Portland’s Funniest Person JoAnn Schinderle join us.

On this podcast, we’ve had the good fortune of talking with many experts in their field. In the case of Erika Isler, we got to talk with someone who spans many fields. Erika is a reporter, editor, teacher, and personal development coach who uses horses (equine facilitated wellness) to help her clients navigate all kinds of issues. I was fascinated to learn how people’s interaction with horses (not their riding of them) can be used to uncover and solve a variety of challenges. Erika also enlightens us on what her varied career has taught her about the most effective ways to engage an audience and we dig into what my closet says about me.

Engaging an audience is hard enough through one medium, but imagine having to do it across four?! That’s what this episode’s guest, Ryan Serhant, has been able to master. You may know of Ryan from his hit TV shows, “Million Dollar Listing New York” and “Sell It Like Serhant.” Or, maybe you’ve heard he has a book coming out also titled, Sell It like Serhant. Or, maybe you watch his weekly YouTube vlog. Or, maybe you trade in multimillion-dollar New York real estate and have worked with Ryan on a deal.
I’m exhausted just writing this post and all of that is Ryan’s life! In each case, he succeeds by engaging an audience (be it an audience of one or millions) and drawing them to him. It’s for this reason that we’re thrilled to have him on the podcast to see what we can learn from him.
This article was previously published on our sister blog at Engagious.com. I was recently floored when I laid my eyes on the image adorning the June cover of National Geographic. It was one of those images that took a few seconds to sink in and once it did, I couldn’t take […]
