The Keynote Curators Podcast 147. What's the Story Your Event Is Telling? with Bruce Turkel
Your audience isn’t craving more content.
They’re craving a story that feels like it’s about them.
Hall of Fame speaker and brand guru Bruce Turkel breaks down why the right story, told the right way, is still the most powerful business tool you own. From harmonicas to high-stakes keynotes, Bruce shares how to turn personal moments into universal messages your audiences can’t stop talking about.
Why this delivers impact for event professionals:
✅ Story as Human Technology – Why storytelling is the original operating system for connection, trust, and action (not just a “nice-to-have” on your agenda).
✅ Tell Their Story, Not Yours – How to turn your experiences into universal truths your audience sees themselves in—so they remember the message and move on it.
✅ “Valuable” vs. “Value” Speakers – The difference between booking a famous name and booking a session people quote in meetings six months later.
✅ Audience-First Event Design – Practical ways to align what the company wants with what attendees actually crave—so no one feels sold to, they feel spoken for.
✅ Risk Is the New Engagement – How bold questions, interaction, and participation transform keynotes from passive content into can’t-look-away experiences.
✅ Music, Meaning & Memory – Bruce’s use of music as a creative twist that helps audiences feel the story, not just hear it—and leave with a real sense of accomplishment.
