Get free marketing videos from Don every week at WeeklySoundbite.com

Every brand has a story, but not every brand knows how to tell it well. We often skip over the hard parts, thinking they make us look weak. But those moments are what make us human and help people connect. The truth is, your most powerful message isn't the perfect version of your story. It's the honest one. When you reframe your story to show what you've been through and how it changed you, you build trust. You help people see themselves in your journey. So how do you tell your story in a way that actually connects and makes an impact?

In this episode, host Kyle Reed talks to John O'Leary, a speaker, author, and the real-life inspiration behind the new movie Soul On Fire. John shares how surviving a fire as a child shaped his life and how he learned to stop hiding his story and start using it to help others. You'll hear how telling your story honestly can grow your impact, connect with your audience, and even become your strongest marketing tool. Listen in to learn how to build the kind of trust that makes people want to connect and do business with you.
