These sell out fast so register now at https://storybrand.com/live/?utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=sbyourbusiness&utm_term=sbpod&utm_content=SB_workshop Most leaders make the same mistake: they use too many words. They explain too much, soften the truth, and leave people confused about what matters most. But confused people don't act. They freeze. The best leaders do something different. They tell the truth, they make the message simple, and they give people words they can repeat. That's how trust is built, and that's how people move.

In this week's episode, host Donald Miller explores how Winston Churchill used clear, repeatable language to rally a nation during one of the darkest moments in history. Don breaks down why simple words work, why truth builds trust, and how strong leaders paint a picture of a future worth fighting for. Listen in to learn how to communicate in a way that gives people courage, clarity, and hope, even in the worst of times.
