Great interview, Stephen, Seth is a soft spoken genius who has bolstered many elements of my business over the years. Seth mentioned the great Irish storyteller, Bernadette Jiwa. I popped over to Amazon and sure enough, she had 6 books on storytelling, and she was giving away 4 of those books for free in the Audible version, so I got 4 of her books with her lovely voice offering great advice with well crafted storytelling. This was 3/6/24. I find there are many biz friendly authors on Amazon that are "gifting" their audible version with the hope that the audible crowd will help with a good review. Good health, Stephen, and a bountiful '24.

In my opinion, AI integration with branding and marketing is crucial for staying relevant. Reputation House understands this shift and ensures clients stay ahead by leveraging AI for reputation management strategies.

Interesting how Seth doesn’t go ummm and ahhh and you know. Just pauses, uses words, finishes.

All brands go through steps: 1) when the brand is new, no one recognizes the logo/brand/reputation 2) soon enough, if the business sustains, the logo/brand/reputation become familiar Humans are wired to fairly quickly demote 'novelty' things to 'recognized' So unless a very objectionable symbol/message is being used by a new brand, most humans go through the 'novelty' phase then don't give the logo/brand much thought. I think anything (other that the purposely-objectionable) - any logo/brand message can and will become accepted. "That's just the logo that company wanted." Imagine seeing images of a white-with-large-black-spots Guernsey cow on a product's box. What's inside? Cattle food? Probably. Nope, that was the Gateway Computer branding. Cow image boxes. Pretty wild.

Sadly many people bereft of ideas turn to AI and LLM as "the" cure to their problems and for (so called) creative content, using what is churned out as is including both text and images, so often thumbnails for YT videos et al. In such a short space of time people have bored of this recycled spam, if you take time to read the comments sections of popular channels that use such images often stuffed into videos to pad them out (thus gaining longer view-time and ad-payments) by video-editors that has ZERO interest in the channel's content as they will be using the same AI crap in edited videos for food-bloggers, car-repairs and funny cat compilations, not to mention the INSANE sound effects promoting Click, Like & Subscribe. Don't forget few actually comment when they bore totally of this robot production line crap and just Unsub. AI might be a tool to co-lab with but it is not content that people "like". Thanks for keeping it real Stephen. 👍

Interesting podcast interview. It's been a while since I listened to Seth. I ordered a couple of books from Bernadette Jiwa as I'm keen to understand more about storytelling. Lots of people tell me I'm a natural storyteller which is great but means I don't understand the construct or how/why what I'm doing is good. I was surprised about the section on the person behind the brand and not telling their story. But maybe that's larger brands I encourage my clients (and especially those who are customer facing to present on social media) and to talk about their journey not all of it in one go but little snippets that add credibility to the business, values, offering, skills and services they bring to the current business. Maybe you meant more of an autobiographical style is not required? Which I would agree with. Hmm... as you can tell I'm musing over what this means and what to take from it. If you have any blogs or resources that would aid my understanding / thinking on this aspect I would be most grateful. It's my first time coming across this podcast and I've subscribed to listen to more - thank you.

Your interest in storytelling is great. Bernadette Jiwa’s books are an excellent choice to understand the structure and impact of storytelling. There is 100% a place for the “Founder Story” where is aligns with the audience and the journey they’re on. That said, often this is the default way to tell stories, even when the journey of the founder doesn’t really align with the audience. The beauty of strategic storytelling is that it’s strategic and there are different solutions for different situations.

I was hoping to hear more of his thoughts on AI. It’s hard to ignore that some of these AI systems were built by ripping off creatives who may now be replaced by AI. Seems to me that more than ditch diggers are in danger of being replaced…I just read his book The Dip. And I think with speed AI is moving, it’s hard to know if there’s “light at the end of the tunnel.” Harder to predict if my career, tactic, etc. is a dead end. Harder to know if “quitting” or sticking is the best long-term strategy. Sometimes adapting at the rate and performing at the level we need to succeed feels impossible and exhausting.

To me, authenticity means something completely different than he says. It means that many content creators use cheap phrases and selling techniques everyone sees through and it's annoying. Exactly this trying too hard to be your best version is not authentic and I personally prefer people and creator who are honest and upfront about themselves and their products. Thats why people prefer generally content creators against classic marketing, but unfortunately is less and less who are like that. That has nothing to do with bad personality traits.

Starbucks would never reach their current level of success without the intention and implications of the logo and visual branding that was chosen.
