The One Story Every Niche Leader Masters First​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Before the book. Before the speaking. Before the author brand. There's one story you must nail: Your origin story. It's the signature story that separates niche leaders from everyone else. The story that makes people see you as THE authority, not just another voice. Here's why it matters: Niche leaders don't compete. They lead. They're the ones everyone quotes, the ones stages invite, the ones clients seek out. And every single one of them has an origin story so clear, so compelling, it anchors everything they build. If you need to tune up your origin story for 2026, you can purchase the workshop we did with Hollywood Storytelling Expert, Michael Hauge. Michael's the coach Will Smith calls "The best in the business." and the story expert Russell Brunson credits for unlocking his understanding of powerful storytelling in his bestselling book "Expert Secrets".

I am curious what everyone has had experience with, and what have they liked/disliked about these or any other options they are aware of?
