What makes a story truly unforgettable? It’s the humanity and emotions behind it. In this episode of The Real Bottom Line, I chat with Crystal Adair-Benning, a prolific ghostwriter and storytelling expert, about why the most impactful content comes from real, human experiences.

Crystal opens up about her journey, from ghostwriting her first New York Times bestseller at just 14 to redefining her career during COVID. We dive into:

• Why human-written stories resonate more deeply than AI-generated content.
• How emotion and authenticity create connections that drive business success.
• The shift from event planning to becoming a full-time storyteller and creative coach.
• The power of storytelling as a marketing tool for entrepreneurs and thought leaders.

Crystal also shares her belief that emotion is the currency of the future and offers insights into how writers and business owners can stand out by focusing on their unique human experiences.

Key Takeaways:

• Authenticity Wins: Stories told with empathy and authenticity connect with audiences at a level AI cannot replicate.
• Marketing with Heart: Using your story as a marketing tool isn’t just effective—it’s transformative for your audience.
• Human Creativity Matters: Creativity isn’t unlocked; it’s already within you. Sometimes, you just need the right guide to find it.
