This Week's BOLD idea:
The Stories We Assume
Hello, BOLD Community!
Welcome to the first issue of BOLDideas—a weekly newsletter devoted to one of the most powerful tools we have as humans: storytelling.
Whether you’re trying to build stronger relationships, lead a team, grow a brand, or simply understand yourself better—storytelling is at the heart of it all. It’s how we connect, inspire, persuade, and make meaning of our lives. Stories shape how we see the world, how others see us, and what we believe is possible.
This newsletter exists to explore that power. Each week, I’ll share real-world examples—from ads, speeches, and everyday moments—and break down what worked, what didn’t, and why it mattered. You’ll also get storytelling strategies and prompts to help you show up more boldly in both life and work.
Why does this matter? Because storytelling isn’t just for marketers, writers, or public speakers. It’s for anyone who wants to be heard, understood, and remembered. In business, it builds trust and drives action. In life, it deepens relationships and sparks self-awareness. And in culture, it’s the force behind movements, empathy, and change.
| When done right, storytelling is a superpower—capable of transforming your career, deepening your relationships, building unshakable confidence, and amplifying your impact.
This week, we’re exploring self-fulfilling prophecies—the invisible narratives we carry that quietly shape our decisions, relationships, and beliefs. I’m also highlighting a powerful ad campaign that challenges the limits we place on ourselves and others, and reminds us what happens when we choose to assume the best in people.
Thanks for being here. I hope you find BOLDideas insightful, inspiring, and interesting. If it resonates, I’d love for you to forward it to a friend.
