golden age of storytelling?


Heard an interesting observation yesterday that I wanted to share…
It was on Chris Harder's podcast.
He interviewed a speaking coach named Colin Boyd…
(whose ads I’ve been seeing in my feed for like 8+ months lol)
And the observation Colin made was this:
The rise of AI is essentially creating a NEW golden age for storytelling.
Because AI has totally commoditized content creation.
You can now generate a how-to guide, blog post, or social media caption in seconds.
There’s basically no such thing as an informational advantage as a creator anymore.
Yet the one thing AI can't do is…
Come up with authentic personal stories to tell.
Because it's artificial.
It doesn't have real experiences.
It's never failed at something and learned a lesson.
Or had a breakthrough moment or embarrassing mistake.
Anyway, as you can probably guess…
I couldn't agree more with this take.
And I predict storytelling is a skill that's going to skyrocket in value over the next few years.
Here's why:
As AI gets better at cranking out generic content…
Authentic human stories become infinitely more valuable.
Think about it…
While everyone else is using ChatGPT to create the same recycled “value” content…
Your personal stories and struggles are quietly becoming your most valuable business asset.
And the coaches, experts and course creators who master authentic storytelling will have a massive competitive advantage.
Doubly so if you know how to combine storytelling + selling ;)

P.S:
Next week, I’m launching the Newsletter Freedom community.
Inside, I’ll be helping an elite group of coaches, experts & course creators to install the 3-step system I’ve used to build a profitable daily newsletter in less than 10 hours a week.
I may be a bit biased…
But I’ve put together a pretty killer offer for founding members 😜
And best part is…
If you act fast enough, you’ll be able to claim a spot for less than $100 per month.
Now, I wasn’t planning to spin up a wait list…
However, since I’ve had someone ask about it already, I figured I might as well.
If you’d like first crack at claiming your discounted spot along with the fast action bonuses I’ve put together…
This will give you a chance to sign up before the rest of the list.
