What’s one lesson you wish you’d known when you first started creating content? I’d love to read your perspective!

Excellent video❤!!!

@@itsclaraiglesias thanks Clara, it’s been a minute, right? but now I’m back on track with lots of exciting topics for the upcoming videos, can’t wait to share more! Hope you’re doing well. Always enjoying watching your videos.

In just the past three weeks I begun to experiment with / focus on adding the hero's journey into my teaching content. With your coversation on STORY, I see how I can open that up to include the story of others I've worked with.

[@MartaTarallo]

I’ve watched some of your recent videos where you shared your story and your relationship with food-like how you hated beans and the treat after having your meal.
Storytelling just hits differently, especially due to the emotional connection it creates with your audience (and potential customers) when they can relate to those stories.
ps. my next video will be all about storytelling!

[@DocJaeBass]

@@MartaTarallo That's great news about your next video being on storytelling. After watching this one, and your above comment, my response is: "How do I do that?"
