You might be missing one of the most important parts of storytelling in your videos and podcasts. It is something we use all the time in improv comedy and character development. You have probably heard how important storytelling is for connecting with your audience, but a key part of that process is sharing your own unique, clear point of view.
In this episode, I explain what a point of view (POV) is and how it applies to both fiction and nonfiction content. Your POV is your unique way of seeing the world, and it becomes the "why" behind your content. It is what makes you, a human, different from generic, generated AI content that often lacks a unique perspective. A clear POV makes your content more believable, consistent, and helps you build a genuine connection with your audience.
I will also give you three practical exercises that you can use today to define your own POV. These exercises will help you start applying your POV to your content strategy right away.
