If you're struggling to connect authentically with your audience through storytelling, this episode reveals the psychology behind content that converts.

Dr. Rod Berger has conducted over 4,000 interviews worldwide - from Pope Francis to Magic Johnson - and he's about to share the strategic storytelling secrets that separate viral content from forgettable noise. As the author of the upcoming book The Narrative Edge and a clinical psychologist turned communication architect, Rod exposes why your "perfect" content might be sabotaging your influence.

In this episode, Rod reveals his curiosity-driven interview framework that transforms ordinary conversations into must-watch content, the dangerous "side stories" destroying creator confidence, and why vulnerability - not polish - builds unbreakable audience loyalty. Whether you're launching your first podcast or scaling your livestream empire, Rod's evidence-based approach to narrative psychology will revolutionize how you show up on camera.

Plus, discover the three-step method Rod uses to help entrepreneurs own their story before someone else writes it for them, and why AI can never replace the human elements that make audiences hit "follow."

Don't fear the gear—master the story behind it.
