StoryMaven Takeaways:
MJS talks about his approach to life, and how he has boiled his purpose down into one word: Fierce. Can you boil your brand story into one, compelling word? It’s hard work to focus in and define your offer that way. It’s worth the work to get one defining word to serve as your focus and your mantra.
Are you unapologetic about your mission? About your product? It is your passion, your dream. Be unapologetically Fierce in serving your audience and offering your gifts.
Designing his album required a Story and Intention. He wanted to do a holiday album, with classic songs turned on their head. But the STORY of the album is born out of this pandemic and the racial protests. The INTENTION of the album is a protest of joy.
How might you see your intention as the backdrop for your story?
