144: How To Perfect Your Storytelling & Brand w/ Amina Moreau

Season #1 Episode #144

As entrepreneurs, we have the opportunity to be true to ourselves in our personal lives and use that to shape who we are in our business lives. You are your business’ brand and that is something to be cultivated. leveraged, and appreciated. 

Amina Moreau is the co-founder of Emmy Award-winning Stillmotion and Sway, companies that are committed to the meaningful impact of storytelling. As part of Muse, she helps others make a positive impact with their stories. With a background in psychology, Amina uses stories to help people connect on deep and meaningful levels.

We cover so many great topics in this interview. Amina launches right into how we present ourselves and craft personal and business brands to showcase who we are. There’s a value in knowing what makes each of us unique and making that an indelible part of your business. This won’t only help you find the best clients for you, but it will help set you apart in a crowded field.

Amina gives some great yet simple advice for how you can craft your business’ image so that you attract your ideal clients. By only showcasing the work that you want to do, you’ll find that you won’t have to go chasing every possible lead. Instead, they’ll come to you.

We also discuss the ways that you can use your gift of storytelling to do good in the world by empowering others. Everyone has a voice and something to share. By helping others share it, we play a part in the process of bringing people together on so many different levels.
