Let's break it down in detail:\nThe Problem with \"This happened, then this happened...\":\nThis linear, chronological way of telling stories is often referred to as \"episodic\" storytelling. It's a common pitfall for novice writers and can lead to boring, disjointed narratives. When stories are told this way, they lack a sense of causality and purpose. Each event feels isolated and disconnected from the others, making it difficult for the audience to remain engaged or understand the significance of what's happening.\nThe Solution: \"This happened, but then that happened, therefore this happened\":\nThis structure introduces three key elements that create a more compelling narrative:\na) \"This happened\": Establishes the initial situation or event. b) \"But then\": Introduces a complication, conflict, or unexpected turn of events. c) \"Therefore\": Shows the consequence or result of the previous events.\nThis structure creates a chain of cause and effect, where each event directly influences what comes next. It adds depth, complexity, and logical progression to the story.\nCreating Causation Between Story Beats:\nThe heart of this storytelling technique is establishing clear causal relationships between different parts of your story. Here's how it works:\na) Each event should have a direct impact on what follows. b) Characters' decisions and actions should drive the plot forward. c) Consequences of these actions should be clear and logical. d) The audience should understand why things are happening, not just what is happening.\nBenefits of This Approach:\nEngagement: It keeps the audience invested by constantly raising questions and providing answers.\nCoherence: The story feels more unified and purposeful.\nCharacter Development: Characters' choices have clear consequences, allowing for deeper character arcs.\nPacing: It naturally creates a sense of momentum and progression.\nMemorability: Causal chains are easier for the audience to remember and understand.\nExample:\nPoor structure: \"The character went to the store. Then they met a friend. Then they went home.\"\nImproved structure: \"The character went to the store, but then they met an old friend they'd been avoiding, therefore they rushed home without buying what they needed.\"\nIn this improved version, each event directly causes or influences the next, creating a more interesting and cohesive narrative.\nApplying This in Practice:\nWhen outlining your story, constantly ask yourself \"Why?\" and \"So what?\" for each event.\nLook for opportunities to create unexpected turns (\"but then\") that challenge your characters.\nEnsure that character decisions have clear, logical consequences (\"therefore\").\nIf you can remove a scene without affecting the overall story, it might not be causally linked enough.\nBy following this structure, writers can create more engaging, logical, and impactful stories that keep the audience invested from beginning to end.

As well as his individual values - the core philosophical principles he finds important.\n\nFor example, one creator may paint a picture of a Dystopian world - and the meaninglessness of everything.\n\nAnother, may fill you with hope in finding your soul-mate, simply because he believes that is possible.\n\nOr another, may share a story of the difficulties of the journey to happiness, but despite the challenge, believe that conquering your dreams is possible. (Like in the movie 'The Pursuit of Happiness').\n\nEvery story or piece of content has values-charged in the events, dialogue, and images. \n\nThat's why it's fairly simple for the viewer to adopt the beliefs and values of the story he has just consumed.\n\nSince the dawn of human civilization, our ancestors have been passing down values and beliefs in stories. \n\nThe story of Troy \u0026 Achilles, tells the tale of heroism, bravery, \u0026 glory. And makes you adopt the belief that despite facing death, you must fight for these values.\n\nThe story of Odysseus, tells the story of prudence, rational, and perseverance. And that even if you haven't seen your family for 19 years, just keep searching for your way home.\n\nThe stories in the Bible, Quran, \u0026 other religious texts have passed down stories that shape the beliefs and values of billions of people over the previous centuries. \n\nOver time, stories have altered, reinforced, or introduced many new beliefs and values.\n\nBut in order to accomplish your #1 goal with your content, which is to help your customer adopt a new core belief: This new opportunity is key to the prospect's desires and its only attainable with my unique mechanism\n\nIn order to get the customer to accept your belief, you have to tell a story in a specific way.\n\nOnly by telling the story in this specific way can you get your customer to accept the core-belief of your marketing content, which will get him to emotionally and logically justify buying your product.\n\nBut how do you do that? \n\nYou do it by using the 'Hero's Epiphany Framework.'\n\nThe structure is really simple.\n\n- Backstory\n- Adventure\n- Epiphany \n\nBy following this structure in your content, you can get your customer to adopt a new belief, and buy your product.\n\nThis framework is loosely a combination of the ‘Hero’s Journey’ framework by Joseph Campbell and the ‘Epiphany Bridge’ Script by Russell Brunson.\n\nWe are self-interested creatures. When we watch a piece of content, we are constantly searching for ways to benefit ourselves.\n\nWhen we watch stories, we view the stories from our perspective \u0026 world. \n\nThe stories that we love the most are the ones that are most familiar to us. \n\nThat’s why when you’re telling a story online, it’s important to create a Hero that your audience will resonate with. \n\nAt the beginning of the story, the current situation of the Hero is aligned with the prospect’s existing situation. \n\nAnd the ending situation of the Hero is aligned with the prospect’s desired situation. \n\nIt means that the prospect builds rapport and understanding with the Hero, speaker, character in the content, based on his low situation. But sticks around because he wants to achieve the Hero’s final situation.\n\nThat’s why we follow influencers, athletes, and heroes.

This framework consists of three main elements:\n\n1. **Backstory**: The beginning of the story where the current situation of the hero (or protagonist) aligns with the prospect's existing situation.\n2. **Adventure**: The journey or process that the hero goes through, which creates tension and conflict.\n3. **Epiphany**: The moment of realization or insight that the hero experiences, which leads to a new understanding or perspective.\n\n**Key Principles:**\n\n* **Rapport Building**: Create a hero that the audience can resonate with, based on their low situation (current challenges).\n* **Aspirational Value**: Make the ending situation of the hero align with the prospect's desired situation (goals and aspirations).\n* **Familiarity**: Use stories that are most familiar to the audience, making them more relatable.\n* **Self-Interest**: Tap into the audience's self-interest by showing how they can benefit from the story.\n\n**How to Apply:**\n\n1. Identify your customer's current pain points or challenges (backstory).\n2. Create a hero that resonates with these pain points (rapport building).\n3. Take the hero on an adventure or journey, creating tension and conflict.\n4. Reach an epiphany moment where the hero gains new insight or perspective.\n5. Align the ending situation of the hero with the customer's desired outcome.\n\n**Tips:**\n\n* Use authentic and relatable stories to build trust with your audience.\n* Make sure the story is concise and easy to follow.\n* Highlight the benefits and results that the hero achieves in the epiphany moment.\n* Use visual aids, such as images or videos, to bring the story to life.\n\nBy using the Hero's Epiphany Framework, you can create a compelling narrative that resonates with your audience, builds trust, and drives results."},{"role":"user","content":"Note, the Hero can be any creator that wants to evoke an emotional response in his audience. And can frame any story in this structure. Simply by giving a backstory to the negative situation. Talking about the adventure of trying new things. To then discovering any \"epiphany\" - which is positioned as the key element in the story between the negative values and positive values. So if someone wants to teach the 5 steps to learning guitar, he can tell a story about how he didn't know how to play. Telling this story before the actual VALUE part of the script/content creates emotional context for the acceptance of a new unique mechanism (will reveal this element soon) and the value. Otherwise, people have existing limiting beliefs that hold them back from learning new things, and the best way to break those limiting beliefs is telling short stories of the creator being in the shoes of the viewer, before figuring out the new thing, or the education material being taught in the video, or the solution/product/resource being offered. This story can form the basis of the whole channel story. Or be told on a micro scale for every video or element. The goal is to maximize the emotion.

Here you are setting the scene. You are describing the Hero's everyday world that he wants to get out of. \n\nIt's important to give the Hero a goal, a desire that he wants to attain. \n\nWe wouldn't want to watch a story if we didn't know what the Hero desired.\n\nAn easy way to do this is by saying \"I always wanted clear skin. That's what I wanted more than anything.\"\n\n\"I thought that my dreams of traveling the world would never come true.\"\n\n\"I was experiencing the same day over and over again, where I was tired and unfocused. But I desired laser productivity more than anything.\"\n\nBut if it was easy for the Hero to attain the goal, we wouldn’t want to watch the story. \n\nSuch as, if it was easy for Luke Skywalker to defeat Darth Vader, we wouldn’t be interested in how he does it.\n\nSo why is it difficult for us to attain our desires? \n\nIt’s because there’s something holding us back. \n\nWe are feeling a certain way about the world. And no, we don’t feel that calmness, despite desiring it with all of our hearts. That’s because there’s negatively charged values that are holding us back. \n\nIn explaining the Backstory \u0026 Negative world of our viewer (Hero) \n\nWe answer a question in the prospect’s mind: “What’s holding me back?”\n\nIt's important about the negatively charged values of being stuck in the \"regular world.\" \n\nYou see, every value has a negative charge and positive charge.\n\nSlavery \u0026 Freedom.\nStressed. Calm.\nSick. Healthy.\nOverweight. In Shape.\nDepressed. Happy.\nLethargic. Focused.\nOn the verge of giving up. Never give up.\n\nIn the backstory, it's important to stress the negatively charged values of the desires of your prospect. This way, you are directly entering their mind. And building strong rapport and connection, by acknowledging the pain that goes on in their mind. \n\nThis is why we love Rocky. Because every single one of us resonates with the \"bum\" version of Rock, who had wasted all of his talent, and didn't believe in himself. \n\nOr Hunger Games. Because we resonate with the fear of having to defend and stand up for our community, and the strong competition out there that can \"kill\" us. In addition to facing a tyrannical regime.\n"},{"role":"assistant","content":"The Backstory element is crucial in setting the scene for the Hero's journey. By creating a relatable backstory, you're establishing a connection with your audience and acknowledging their pain points.\n\nHere are some key takeaways from this section:\n\n1. **Establish a goal or desire**: Give the Hero a clear objective that they want to achieve. This creates tension and makes the story more engaging.\n2. **Make it difficult for the Hero to attain the goal**: Introduce obstacles or challenges that make it hard for the Hero to reach their desired outcome.

This creates a sense of longing and motivation for change.\n\nBy incorporating these elements into your backstory, you can create a compelling narrative that resonates with your audience and sets the stage for their transformation.\n\nSome examples of how to apply this in different contexts:\n\n* **Health and wellness**: \"I was tired all the time and felt stuck in my body. I desired energy and vitality more than anything.\"\n* **Personal finance**: \"I was struggling to make ends meet and felt overwhelmed by debt.

According to psychological studies, any group of humans will sort themselves into us/them groups within seconds, almost without any reason.\n\nNobody is immune to this need to be a part of a group. Our ancestors evolved in challenging environments against rival groups.\n\nHaving a common enemy is powerful. Studies show it releases oxytocin, increasing the sense of belonging.\n\nBut in order to find an effective enemy, you must understand the prospect \u0026 leverage existing limiting beliefs.\n\nEveryone has the itch to be in a group, it’s a part of our wiring from the times we had to use them to survive. Getting them into our “group” is great long term. we just need to convince them we’re the better team and they’re better off with us (our products and lifestyle)\n\nIn the anti-aging supplement niche, a lot of prospects already believe prescription costs are out of control. Naturally, it’s common to set up greedy pharmaceutical companies as the enemy.\n\nBy creating a story for your hero to try these alternative solutions and face failure, pain, and frustration. You are subconsciously telling the prospect that the reason why they haven't seen success is because they haven't tried your solution. \n\nAnd you're answering this question in the prospect's mind:\n\n\"Who or what is to blame?”\n\nPeople will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions and help them throw rocks at their enemies.\n\nPeople are looking for someone to take responsibility off their shoulders. To tell them they are not responsible for their lot in life.\n\nAnd while accepting responsibility is essential for gaining control of one’s own life, assuring others they are NOT responsible is essential for gaining influence over theirs.\n\nIn general, people don’t want to take responsibility for their failures. If you want to sell more, you need to justify their failures. \n\nBy creating villains in your marketing…\n\nYou are shifting the burden of responsibility from your customer’s shoulders onto the enemies you created...\n\nBut you’re also subconsciously saying…\n\nThe reason why your prospect failed is because they haven’t tried your new opportunity!\n\nConsequently, you can blame villains and criticize them for not giving you the “new opportunity.”\n\nThat's because the purpose of this question is to justify your prospect failure by revealing the REAL PROBLEM. \n\nYes, the prospect tried numerous similar products in the past. \n\nBut the REAL reason why those or products they’ve tried in the past have not worked is because those products didn’t fulfill your new opportunity!\n\n**Reserve engineer opportunity**\n\nOpportunity: Using mushrooms to remove inflammation\n\nReverse-Opportunity: “The real problem is that your body \u0026 brain is undergoing inflammation, which triggers an immune response to put your body into fight or flight mode. When your brain \u0026 body try to function normally, it can’t! And so you feel depression, anxiety, \u0026 stress.”\n\nVillain: “And what’s frustrating, is that the pharmaceutical industry WANTS you to be inflamed, so that you can keep buying their products.”\n\nSee how simple this can be? It’s simple, but very powerful. You’re telling your customers the reason why they failed in the past is that all the solutions they tried never addressed the **REAL** problem. But now, there’s finally a NEW OPPORTUNITY, a new solution that addresses the real problem.\n\nHere’s another example…\n\nOpportunity: Increase your testosterone by removing bad bacteria from your gut \n\nReverse-Opportunity: “If you’re working out and eating healthy, but you’re struggling to get into shape… It's not your fault. Your testosterone levels are low and you have bad bacteria in your gut.”\n\nVillain: “The food-industry keeps you eating processed foods that fill your gut with bad bacteria, lower your testosterone, and keep you buying foods that keep you stuck!”\n\nSee how it works? You’re revealing the real problem, a problem that can be solved only by your new mechanism.\n\nOne more example..\n\n“If you haven’t seen better sleep \u0026 well-being with other supplements in the past… it’s NOT your fault.\n\nThat’s because all other ingredients on earth I’m aware of are sourced from dangerous supplements or artificial “painkiller” drugs that could end up killing you - look what happened to Michael Jackson.\n\nThey only offer a brief temporary \u0026 unhealthy solution that has countless harmful symptoms…\n\nAnd by the time the negative effects start catching up to you, your brain’s not able to shut off on its own. And the inflammation continues to keep you feeling wide awake at night \u0026 stressed - like a caged monkey - during the day…\n\nBut you see, this secret set of pure organic mushrooms you’re about to see is totally different…\n\nIt’s a brand new way of achieving maximum sleep, well-being, \u0026 happiness..\n\nThat’s because it’s all about removing inflammation from your brain. So that you can fall asleep easily…\n\nAnd enjoy the delights of each \u0026 every single day, feeling your absolute best!

You’re starting to tell them, indirectly, that they’ve failed because they didn’t have what you’re offering.\n\nAnd FINALLY, you’re giving them the opportunity to replace what's not working with something better: your new mechanism.\n\nAt this point, your prospects will be buttered up to believe that your new opportunity is the only thing that can help them achieve what they desire (a key part of the one belief).\n\nYou’ve justified your prospects’ failures and given them hope. Now you can inject even more emotion in your content by leveraging your prospect’s tribal instincts to blame enemies.\n\n“Don’t expect the mainstream media to show you how to live a calm life without anxiety or depression\n\nBecause they’re actually the reason why 85% of college students say that they suffer from some type of mental illness\n\nNot to mention, there’s a lot of misinformation out there\n\nSome of my followers are being scammed into taking heavy prescription drugs, that destroy the harmony in their brain\n\nThat’s why this product has made it their mission to reveal the TRUTH about anti-anxiety ingredients.”\n\nOnce you've answered the question \"Who's to Blame?\" \u0026 thrown rocks at their enemies…\n\nIt's time to give them the epiphany that will create the vital new belief.\n"},{"role":"assistant","content":"The Adventure: Villains \u0026 Failures is a crucial element in storytelling and marketing.
