  • Tamsen Webster on Speaking So They Can’t Unhear Your Message
    Oct 8 2025

    In this shortcast episode, Erik Fisher talks with Tamsen Webster about the hidden structure behind every message that sticks. Tamsen introduces the Red Thread—a framework for crafting ideas that feel obvious in hindsight and impossible to ignore. Whether you’re pitching a project, leading a team, or launching a product, this episode will help you connect what you’re saying to what people are already thinking.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:


    • Why Belief Comes Before Behavior: Tamsen explains why people won’t act on your idea until it aligns with who they believe they are.
    • The Red Thread Framework: A practical way to structure your message using five building blocks—Goal, Problem, Truth, Change, and Action.
    • The Role of Story Without Telling Stories: How you can build narrative logic even if you never tell a single anecdote.
    • Why Ideas Fall Flat: Tamsen shares the #1 reason messages don’t stick—and how to rework them to resonate deeply.
    • How to Create Agreement Without Force: You’ll hear why persuasion isn’t about pressure—it’s about showing people what they already believe.


    This episode is packed with insights on how to design messages that don’t just land—they last.
