424. Making Videos That Actually Move People with Katie Quesada

Feb 10, 2025
41:30

Storytelling consultant Katie Quesada breaks down why polished perfection isn't always the answer in video content, and how to create stories that actually move people to take action. She shares practical frameworks for helping people tell better stories and why those raw, behind-the-scenes moments often create deeper connections than highly produced content.

Key Takeaways
  • If you want to make someone do something, you have to make them feel something - and stories are the best way to do that
  • Raw, behind-the-scenes content often performs better than polished pieces because it feels more authentic
  • Don't hold back your story - it might be exactly what someone else needs to hear
