What makes listeners stay? It’s not your bullet points—it’s your storytelling. In this solo episode of Fearless Podcasting Academy, Dr. Stephanie Dean breaks down why facts fade but stories stick. You’ll learn the neuroscience behind emotional connection, plus three storytelling frameworks and four story-mining techniques to help you craft episodes your audience won’t just hear—they’ll feel. Whether you think you’re a natural storyteller or not, this episode proves you have stories worth telling—and listeners who need to hear them.

Dr. Dean also tackles the fear of vulnerability in a brand-new segment, Fearless Moment, reminding us that your imperfect, authentic self is exactly what builds trust. If you’re ready to go from “informative” to unforgettable, grab her mini-course, Hooked: The Storytelling System for Binge-Worthy Podcasts. It’s packed with tools to help you master the art of storytelling and create episodes people actually finish. Because your expertise makes you credible, but your stories? They make you fearless.
