Chances are, you already know that story is everything when it comes to growing your business. Customers who feel invited into a narrative engage more, understand more, and buy more. The harder question has always been a practical one: where do these stories actually go, and how do you write them without starting from scratch every time?

In this episode, Donald Miller shares the exact 7-part AI prompt he uses with clients to transform flat copy into story-driven messaging, from landing pages to keynotes to product descriptions on Amazon. He walks through how to name the problem, agitate it emotionally, state a clear need, and only then introduce your product as the solution. Use this formula correctly, and you're not just writing better marketing. You're making it nearly impossible for your customer to look away.
