Business EN ↓ 79 episodes

Here’s a hard truth most coaches and consultants face... Your dream clients are visiting your website and quietly clicking away to competitors. It’s not because you’re not good at what you do. It’s because your story isn’t connecting. After 23 years crafting stories for brands like Nike, Kris Jones shows you how to fix that. Every Tuesday, she’s joined by marketing experts like Donald Miller (Building a StoryBrand), Shira Gill, Molly Claire, Joanna Lott, Holly Haynes, Brian Lofrumento & Elyse Archer to share simple strategies that turn your website into a client-attracting machine.
