Your Story Isn’t Broken, It’s Just Unedited With Special Guest Dhara Singh

The fastest way to lose an audience is to make them wait for the point. That’s why we brought on Dhara Singh—a former financial journalist who has helped 200+ entrepreneurs turn lived experience into magnetic brands—to show exactly how to craft a hook, shape a plot twist, and guide listeners toward action without feeling salesy. Dhara’s gift is part newsroom rigor, part human intuition: she listens like a reporter, then distills your story into repeatable assets that sell, heal, and connect.
We dig into the moments that matter most: the first 60 seconds that tell people why they should care; the emotional turning points that travel beyond biography; and the difference between a viral reel and a story that actually builds a business. Dhara breaks down her storytelling intensive—from a no-prep interview to a detective-style analysis that becomes a keynote outline, website copy, and a plug-and-play content plan. She also opens the black box on media pitching, with practical ways to land quotes in major outlets using HARO and similar platforms, even if you don’t have a big following.
If you’ve ever wondered how to balance multiple parts of your brand—author, speaker, founder, service pro—Dhara explains why people can track a multidimensional path when the narrative thread is clear. We talk borrowed stages, podcast swaps, and why the quiet power tool is your email list. Most of all, we spotlight the missing link in so much content: a strong call to action that shows people how to experience the transformation you share on stage or in a story.
Subscribe for more candid, practical conversations with builders who lead with story. If this episode gave you a new hook or a braver headline for your life, share it with a friend, leave a review, and tell us the one moment you’d use to open your next talk.
