Hello! Adam Thornhill here. ‘The Podcast Guy’ saving you 10 hours a week.
Enjoy the 122nd Podup, with special thanks to ChatGPT Consulting.
Today, we’ll dive into the best insights and ideas from Marketing Against The Grain.
Fill the void. We’ve been refreshing Twitter eagerly awaiting the OpenAI board to say something. Anything. Alas, they made the biggest board coup of the millennia without any justification for doing so. There are many lessons to learn from this week’s circus, but this one in particular stands out.
Everyone should learn to writeÂ
Whatever the truth is with OpenAI, it’s the story that matters. You either tell your story or the story will be told for you. This is a great example. No story was told by the board, so the story was made for the board. They instantly lost. Stories travel so fast with the internet. It’s a great reminder that writing is a core competency in order to operate in today’s world.

Why it matters
The ability to tell a story is crucial for controlling narratives, shaping perceptions, and getting people on your side. In the age of social media and instant communication, a well-told story can be the difference between directing the most innovative company in the world, and being a pariah who will be talked about in the history books for all the wrong reasons.
Next steps
Invest in yourself. Hone your writing skills by practicing for a set amount of time every day. By doing so, you’ll improve clarity of thought and your ability to articulate ideas.
Be proactive. Don’t wait for others to tell your story. Be the first to communicate in times of change or crisis. Be clear, concise, and give context behind your difficult decisions.Â
Embrace transparency. Honesty builds trust with your audience. A bit of vulnerability goes a long way to helping others empathize and relate to your point of view.
