YOUR LANGUAGE

We tell stories every day, and half of them are terrible.

Have you ever had to follow up a story with “and then I found 20 bucks”? Or even worse, had to listen to someone who should’ve but didn’t? You’ve fallen victim to a bad story. Now, the worst case is that you have to endure that kind of scenario when you want to buy or sell something.

You miss out, they don’t want to come back, and everyone loses. Bad stories only create losers, and nobody should be a loser.

Let’s shift the tactic and tell good stories that engage, connect, and empower your business, your customers, and your teams.

We start with clarity, and clarity wins every time.

Express empathy

People are yearning for you to be able to say, “I get it” and “here’s how I did it”. A simple 1+1=2 formula and it’s imperative to get it right. 

Nurture relationships

Relationships are grown through time and conversation. Ask questions, get real answers, and build something special along the way.

Celebrate success

Your customer’s success is your success. Whether it’s the smallest product or the largest offering possible, when your customers win, you win. 

“You should hire Brian, today.” - Dr. J. J. Peterson + Donald Miller

David Hyatt - President, Panoramic Fram

“Brian solved for us in an afternoon what we’d been trying to figure out for 20 years.”

An empathy-forward approach works for anyone.

I’ve helped businesses and entrepreneurs around the world communicate through empathy and story and we’re all better for it. We break rules, chart new paths, and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it. Story is now the currency of the marketing world, and telling the right one counts - a lot.

With over 15 years of business building and communication experience, and a whole lot of happy clients, I’m ready to help you win the day. 

What I do every day (and love doing it)

Top tier (and most fun)

On-site Workshops and Training

Bring Brian into your board room, office, team meeting, and/or lunch, and begin the deep dive into how story and empathy make all the difference. We’ll develop a core communication strategy for your business, implement it at a high level (think homepage and sales pages, email campaigns, etc.), create the tools to keep everything on message, and get it all done in 1-2 days.

These engagements are best suited for C-Suites, marketing teams, and even startups/entrepreneurs eager to establish a core message and have the tenacity to start implementing it on the same day.

Sales Funnel Development

Each funnel includes custom brand messaging, a full website rewrite, sales funnel design and installation, lead generation strategy, sales team communication tools, and more. I take on a handful of these projects every few months to give them the focus they need to be profitable.

As a connoisseur of CRMs, I can help with Klaviyo, Kajabi, FluentCRM, Squarespace, Kit, and many more.

QUICKEST TURNAROUND (and most ZOOM CALLS)

High-Level Consulting

Dissect your sales process, create new customer journeys, brainstorm initiatives and how to get them across the finish line, or even plan the business and product offerings 5-10 years down the road.

Consulting services are available at a per-session or at a Fractional Services packaged rate. I take a limited number of these per year to ensure each client gets the best I have to offer.

  • Our business has grow exponentially over the last year since working with him!

    “Brian has a gift at capturing the heart and soul of a business, then building a customer experience and digital strategy around that framework. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and everything he has created has exceeded our wildest dreams for our company. He has a gift of storytelling and so much professional knowledge in brand strategy and sales funnels. This combination made our business grow exponentially over the last year since working with him.“ - Britt Loukos, Owner of Lumen House Events

  • He helped me understand my own vision!

    “Before launching Always About People, Brian helped me take my vision and turn it into a simple message. Brian has the unique ability to transform difficult-to-articulate ideas into simple, well-crafted communication that can be understood. He helped me understand my own vision!!” - Chris Allen, Founder and Managing Partner at Always About People

  • He gave our brand a voice.

    “Brian is a true wordsmith in every sense of the word. His creative and extraordinary attention to detail and knack for crafting compelling narratives make him exceptional in his field. Our brand already had a face, but he gave our brand a voice. By doing this, he has been instrumental in creating a powerful and authentic connection with our audience we wouldn’t have gotten if we tried to do it on our own.” - Kirk Brown

  • We found our core message and can clearly communicate that to others.

    “New City needed a guide to help us find our core message as a church. Brian was able to help us by meeting us where we were and pushing us to where we needed to be. I feel very confident that we found our core message and can now clearly communicate that to others. He’s fun to work with, engaging, and insightful.”
    - Chris Payne, New City Church

  • He provided direction I hadn't experienced from anyone else!

    “Brian was a hot knife through butter for me. My head had a thousand ideas and an equal amount of excuses but he provided direction and clarity that I haven't experienced from anyone else. It's one thing to dream about a business or talk about your plans. But Brian helped me take action, giving me surgical coaching on where to start, where to cut, what to lean into, and what to put on ice. My fav: his brilliant ability to connect to the person instead of working a transaction.”
    - Stephen Webb

  • He got us there better than we could've ourselves.

    “We needed to reintroduce ourselves to a large client base and grow our business at the same time. Change was intimidating. Rebranding and shifting the core messaging of a company with a long history is not an easy task. Brian accepted our challenge and he got us there better than we could’ve ever gotten there ourselves! His expertise and guidance helped us communicate with clarity, embrace our customers in fresh ways, and helped us communicate what we’ve needed to for over 20 years.”
    - Brian Groves, Panoramic Farm

The “how” is a simple process.

1 - Schedule a call


We’ll start with a quick cup of virtual coffee, get to know each other, and before it feels like a date we’ll talk business too. We’ll dream of what your business can become and how to get there at the same time.

2 - Write the story


We’ll dig deep into the how, why, what, who, and when about the ins and outs of your business. Exploring customer problems, reviews, ideas, product planning, and more. We write the story that brings people in time and time again, and work intentionally to make sure it resonates across the board (both literally and figuratively).

3 - Win the day

With the right words, the right methods, and even the right mindset from you and your team, your business will reach more people who are ready to say, “YES PLEASE.” 

I’m on a mission to bring a good story to every industry.

The only way your business is going to achieve the “bottom line” (business words) is through telling a good story to the right people. In a world that’s being taken over by robots, automations, and phone systems that make even the most patient bang their head against a wall, one thing remains true. A good story is how you connect with people.

Let’s build something together that honors people, talks to and with your customers, and uses the best parts of modern systems and tech to make it all possible.
