  • Actionable with huge value!

    I’ve followed Susan on socials, read her book, brought her offerings but really LOVE hearing her speak. She’s real, human, honest and shares so much value. Susan explains how sharing stories will do the selling for you in your business, and help you build real connections with the people you want to work with, and that feels so good. Thank you Susan, can’t wait to listen to you more on my dog walks!

  • Just listened to the first episode. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to listen to more! I've known about Susan since she wrote her book, The Business of Stories but never knew her back story. It was a great listen, and a genius move having an actionable task at the end of each episode, which will definitely have people coming back for more. I'm already curious about the next task!

  • Susan’s method works

    I found Susan recently. And I feel so grateful that I did. Her storytelling method has achieved something I didn’t think was possible.

    I’m now telling stories consistently.

    That’s surprise enough. The real shocker is, I’m enjoying it!

    The increase in engagement from our audience has been incredible. We’re getting engagement, enquiries, and new customers who are a perfect fit for what we do.

    And more than anything it’s brought a sense of realness and convection and joy.

    I’m so pleased Susan ... more

  • Love it

    Just binge listened to these, so clear and well-explained. Makes me think I can actually do this stuff rather than never having a clue what to write. Perfect length as well.
