91. Storytelling for your personal brand (pt. 1 with Jude Charles)

Author: Louise Shanahan January 20, 2023 Duration: 16:06

How can a pair of white shoes help someone land a new client?

Jude Charles is an expert in visual storytelling – and specifically, using video to tell stories that build trust with potential clients. Because Jude had SO much brilliant advice to share, this episode is split into two parts.

In this first part, Jude explains how to harness the power of storytelling to connect with clients. As well as telling a few of his own inspirational stories, Jude also shares:

  • Why sharing more of your personal story can help you stand out from the crowd
  • How to tell stories that get clients to sit up and pay attention
  • Why you need a "story book" journal and how to create one
  • The moving story behind those white shoes.

Ever feel like building a business for yourself is a full-time job in itself, before you’ve even landed a client? 15 Minute Freelancer cuts through the overwhelm with manageable, actionable advice designed to fit around a busy schedule. Hosted by freelance health copywriter Louise Shanahan, each episode draws directly from her own journey and the real, sometimes messy, realities of working for yourself.

The aim is to move beyond generic hustle-culture advice and focus on what actually works, helping you shape a freelance career that supports the life you want, not one that consumes it. This isn't about theory; it's about practical steps you can implement almost immediately. Tune in for a candid, snack-sized conversation that feels more like a chat with a knowledgeable friend than a business lecture.
