15 years ago, Simon Sinek walked onto a stage with a broken mic and a flipchart. Then he proceeded to give one of the most-watched TED talks in history (21M views). This wasn’t by chance. He engineered success using storytelling hacks we can also learn: 1. Insert a question in people’s minds: “How do you explain when things don't go as we assume?” When a mental "loop" opens up in your brain, you desperately need to close it. He forced the audience to become detectives and crack the case. This is Problem-Agitate-Solution (PAS) at its finest. First, you expose the problem. Then, you agitate the pain of not knowing. Finally, you offer the cure. Sinek sold us the relief of resolving the mystery. 2. Went ‘old school’ with a marker and flipchart. We had good tech back then, but Simon chose a flipchart and a barely functioning marker. The audience saw an idea getting handcrafted in real time. The unpolished and scrappy nature of this was appealing. 3. Created the ‘Hero Vs Villain’ structure. Why are stories like The Lion King and Snow White such huge hits? They use the same framework, and the reader cannot help but be part of the narrative. 4. Repetition is the key to understanding. He kept repeating the line "People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it,” purposely sounding like a broken record. Repetition is the key to understanding. Repetition builds trust. Your brain starts to take the claim as a fact when it's driven home. It’s the same reason why classic songs still top the charts. Repetition is the key to understanding. 5. He declared: "I believe," not "I think." It’s a powerful distinction. "Thinking" is a process, but "believing" is an identity. Like Martin Luther King Jr., Sinek made believers out of the audience. 6. Added scientific proof to solidify his talk. The way he talks about the Golden Circle and correlated with reason, logic, and data, making his thesis more credible. The emotional connection of the “Why beating the What every single time” is what worked. The lesson in this: If you are a founder broadcasting your thoughts to the audience, this storytelling framework always works.
i've noticed something odd lately a lot of people who used to pay for services like ghostwriting or design now think they can do it themselves with AI so they fire those people but in most cases they can't get anywhere close to the old quality they nuke themselves without even noticing it open rates decline slowly. followers tune out. people care and buy less. the decline is obvious to anyone who actually knows the craft but these CEOs think it's all good because they don't have enough experience to know what "great" actually looks like it's a painful trap just because AI can do stuff doesn't mean you should suddenly do everything yourself i've seen too many founders dilute and distract themselves from what actually moves the needle they're saving $3k/month on a writer while losing $300k in attention and trust here's what I think about it: only do things yourself (even with AI) where you 100% understand what excellent quality looks, feels and smells like if you can't tell the difference between good and great in that skill, you shoudn't be the one doing it keep paying someone who knows their stuff use AI to make THEM faster
more than 50% of founders with $5k+ mrr have fewer than 5k followers yet most people still believe you can’t build a real business without a big audience people even say it about me - tibo gets users only because he has followers but 70% of the users across all my saas don’t come from my audience they come from distribution systems I build - partnerships, SEO, affiliates, UGC from creators who don’t even follow me having followers helps sure - but it’s not the only engine for growth if audience was enough, every creator with 100k followers would be running a $1m business, but they’re not I know hundreds of people who have built a profitable business without having a huge audience on socials if you think lack of followers is your biggest problem, you’re not even in the game yet, you just have a lazy excuse so i'll say it again, having an audience helps for sure, but it is definitely not mandatory
