Biz Book regular Sean Platt is back in the studio today. He's a prolific author + entrepreneur - known for his expertise in storytelling and business writing.
The Unpopular Opinions strand is all about ranting - and today we look at the travesty that is books written in the 'Business Parable' style. These simplified narratives, lack depth + nuance, ultimately failing to engage readers. They often feel contrived + preachy, and we discussed the importance of real-world applicability in business literature.
But in the third part of the show, Sean reveals a dark parable secret he's been keeping. I am appalled. Tune in to discover the secret (I still can't quite believe it)

This is part 1 of a 2 parter. I’m sharing the strategy work I’m doing with my clients right now. It’s as though I’m coaching you personally. Cool, eh?
The problem many businesses have is that they’re not clear enough on what they do + how they help their clients. Let’s fix that by thinking about building a learning path from their first encounter with you to making a purchase. You’ve made lots of content over the years – but there’s holes in it – that needs filling.
Today I give examples from Biz Book regulars like Candice L. Davis + Miriam Shulman, who have successfully built their own pathways for client education and engagement. We’ll discuss how they can make them even stronger. You’ll want to do this for your own business too.
This is my newest thinking + the work I’m doing right now. Today is Part 1 - the overview. Look for Part 2 – The How-to in a few days.

This is a Liz Solo show + I'm going to take you behind the scenes of film production, revealing the intricate details and unseen labor that go into creating visual effects.

From there, we'll discuss the cross over to business strategy - much more than you'd expect. And I'll encourage you to reflect on your own unexpected skills and how they contribute to your success. Tune in for a fun exploration of the intersection between film crew dynamics and entrepreneurial strategies.
My forthcoming book - Think Like a Film Crew – will have lots of this kind of information. Soon as it’s out, or nearly out, I’ll let you know!

Join Liz and Ron on another foolish journey to dissect a classic book as though it's a business book - which it very much isn't. Today, our book is, The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
Somehow, we manage to draw parallels between the tiger's unexpected visit and the concept of virality in business. It seems like a good thing, but can easily destroy a business - much like a tiger in your kitchen looks beautiful but is rather dangerous and a huge drain on resources.
Do look for more episodes in this Classic series - we've covered some corkers so far, from Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory + many more. Our next classic is looking at Cinderella - could it possibly be about sales training?
