ADVICE

Pick One Central Mission

  • Define one primary mission so the story's plot and stakes align clearly for listeners.

Performance Creates Built-In Stakes

  • Using performance (stand-up) to discuss PTSD creates an inherent dramatic journey.
  • The most compelling angle is the personal risk of a veteran exposing trauma onstage under hostile pressure.
ADVICE

Ditch Jargon, Show Concrete Value

  • Stop using jargon when pitching to a broad creative audience; speak plainly about what you deliver.
  • Describe concrete outcomes and relatable examples before naming your methods like "masterminds" or "accountability coaching."
