On this episode of the Inside BS Show, Dave Lorenzo sits down with Melissa Costello, CEO and Chief Storyteller of MELISSACOSTELLO.COM, to break down the real power of video, and why most people are doing it all wrong. With decades of experience directing national commercials and high-impact brand stories, Melissa explains how great video isn’t about flashy edits or perfect scripts—it’s about emotional authenticity, vulnerability, and storytelling that connects.

Dave and Melissa discuss how video can transform a business’s brand perception, the neuroscience behind storytelling, and why a well-crafted testimonial beats a polished sales pitch any day. Melissa shares her unique interview process that gets even the driest, most buttoned-up professionals to open up on camera. She also outlines how to pull emotion out of someone who’s trained to hide it (like a litigator), and why the editing process is where the story really comes to life.

Whether you're a lawyer, consultant, business owner, or just someone who wants to use video to actually move people—this episode is a masterclass in how to do it right. If your current video strategy feels like a hostage tape or a bad PowerPoint, this conversation will show you a better way.

Key Takeaways:

  • The difference between video that converts and video that gets ignored
  • Why authenticity on camera is more powerful than perfection
  • How to structure an interview to pull out real emotion and compelling stories
  • Why storytelling beats listing credentials every time
  • How to shoot once and build an entire content vault

Perfect for business leaders who want their message to resonate, and who are ready to stop wasting money on forgettable video.
