🎙 Episode 1: How to Tell Stories That Actually Land On Camera

Most people know that storytelling is a powerful communication tool—especially when you're showing up on video or speaking to an audience.

But in my experience? Very few people actually know how to tell a story in a way that resonates on camera.

In this very first episode of The Camera Ready Professional, I’m diving into what makes an on-camera story stick—and what makes it fall flat.

I’m sharing a moment from a recent talk I gave in Boston, where I asked the audience two simple questions:

  1. Do you know it’s important to tell stories when presenting?

  2. Do you know how to tell a story on camera?

Almost every hand went up for the first question.
Almost every hand went down for the second.

That gap is exactly why this episode exists.

If you want to connect with your audience, clarify your message, or come across as more confident and compelling on camera—you need this skill.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why chronological storytelling often falls flat on camera

  • The biggest mistake even professionals make when wrapping up a story

  • How to start your story in the right place to hook your audience

  • Why bullet points—not scripts—are your best friend

  • A crucial tip to avoid sounding stiff, memorized, or robotic

You’ll walk away with clear guidance and simple shifts you can start making right now—whether you’re preparing for a presentation, filming a reel, or showing up for a live interview.
