“If you are curious, and if you are open, and if you allow yourself to observe the mundane, you can turn the mundane and the mediocre into magnificent and marvelous.” – Jay Acunzo

Jay Acunzo and I delved into the importance of storytelling and how it can be a great equalizer in the competitive world of business and content creation, as well as the critical elements that make a creator or communicator truly stand out in a noisy world. 

Jay introduced the concept of the “5 P’s”: Posture, Process, Practice, Premise, and Performance.

The key takeaway is that by combining these five elements – Posture, Process, Practice, Premise, and Performance – creators and communicators can elevate their work, connect more deeply with their audience, and stand out in a meaningful way. It’s a refreshing perspective that emphasizes authenticity and human connection in a world filled with noise and competition. 

The conversation underscores that in today’s crowded content landscape, being the biggest or best is less important than being someone’s personal favorite. People make choices based on personal connections and emotional resonance. So, creators and communicators should focus on forging those connections by embracing their uniqueness and sharing their stories.

“The problem is not bots creating work that resembles exactly you. The problem is too many humans are out there acting like bots.” – Jay Acunzo
