Description
Summary
In this episode of Digital Dominance, Jeffro welcomes Emmy-winning journalist and business storytelling expert Bofta Yimam, founder of StoryLead, to discuss why visibility is earned—not bought and how business owners can use storytelling to build trust, drive influence, and grow their income. Bofta shares the difference between strategic visibility and just making noise, the power of transformational moments, and how to align your personal brand with your business without feeling self-centered. This episode is packed with practical storytelling advice for entrepreneurs who want to position themselves as thought leaders without sounding forced or inauthentic.
Takeaways
- Strategic visibility means telling stories that connect, not just adding to the noise.
- Transformational moments (“from this to that”) make stories relatable and memorable.
- Repetition is okay, repurpose great content, it builds consistency and reach.
- You are part of your brand. People buy from people they trust, don’t be afraid to show who you are.
- Avoid forcing stories. Let them feel natural, don’t cram personal moments into business lessons.
- One powerful post beats constant CTAs. Let value speak for itself sometimes.
- Marketing is long-term. Visibility builds over time so stick with it.
