Here's some actionable advice Christina shares during our delicious conversation:

"Begin with the end in mind. Who’s your audience? What’s your goal? And then how are they going to be able to relate to that goal? If you can start out with those three questions in mind, it’s going to help you craft that story.

In business, there’s different story archetypes, but my favorite one is the hero’s journey. You set the scene, identify that there’s some sort of problem, monster, your conflict. Then bam. Here’s the hero. Now, your hero might be your solution, your product. Even better if you can make the hero of the story your customer and your service or product is their weapon or tool.

Now what’s the new reality now that they’ve used this service or product and beat this monster, this problem... not just that they’ve solved the problem but what’s the new reality? Paint that picture. Why do I feel better now? How am I moving forward towards this new reality?"
