5 Stories

We all want more meaning. We all wonder how to find it.

Tired of selling your soul online? 5 Stories is the strategy to get you where you’re going, without losing yourself along the way.

When you endlessly create for validation, what you say loses all meaning. It becomes a performance. A contest of perfection. A game of hiding and pretending, where you sacrifice who you really are at the altar of pleasing an algorithm. 

We call this the cycle of disconnection. It’s unsustainable, and it’s stripping us of our humanity.

It’s why chasing online success as an impact-driven founder feels like playing a losing game. One you pour all your energy into, and end up feeling empty, burnt out and wondering: what next?

That's because personal branding is all performance, no substance. It promises to connect, but pushes us further apart – from ourselves and from each other.

5 STORIES IS THE ANTIDOTE. 

The key to breaking this cycle of disconnection is to remember who you are, and discover who you’re becoming. To go beyond clicks, views, and virality. To lean into your humanity. To have the bravery to show up as a complex, messy, multi-faceted individual.

We help you do this by breaking your story down into your Origin, Empathy, Purpose, Product and Vision stories. This gives you a structure to create real, raw, authentic content that feels true to you, and resonates with your audience on a deeply human level.

It’s not a one and done thing, though. It’s a constant process of rediscovery. As you grow and flourish as a human and business leader, so too do your stories. Along with the meaningful, beautiful connections you make with your audience.

5 Stories is your map back to meaning, and your map back to yourself.
