You are missing Your Greatest Advantage

Hey Reader!
Something unexpected happened on a client call last week.
I was explaining our agency services —
when the founder cut me off and said:
“Forget the services… Can you just teach us how to tell stories like you do?”
At first, I laughed it off.
But it stuck with me.
Because this wasn’t the first time I heard it.

Attending a Client Call
I sat there, caught off-guard. I wasn't selling storytelling lessons. I was selling content services.
The Shift I Didn’t See Coming
Over the last few years, I’ve been laying the foundation —
learning the craft, building systems, and slowly turning that into an agency.
Our average client work sits between $2,000–$3,000.
We focused on high-ticket services because… the money’s good.
We handle everything — end-to-end. The client just shows up.
But here’s the thing:
Not everyone wants a done-for-you solution.
Some want to understand how it works.
And we can only serve so many people through 1:1 work.
This Is Bigger Than Me
Turns out, this pattern isn’t unique.
It happens across industries:
A programmer builds cool apps → but people want to learn how they think
A designer makes stunning visuals → but others ask for their creative process
A marketer runs killer campaigns → and founders say, “Can you teach me?”
People don’t just want results.
They want to learn how to think like you.
That’s the real value.
Done-for-You vs Done-with-You
With our agency, we do the work.
But what if someone wants to learn how to do it themselves?
What if we could teach:
✅ The structure behind great stories
✅ The psychology that makes them connect
✅ The emotion that makes them stick
So they can use storytelling anywhere — in sales, branding, hiring, or even daily life.
That’s when it clicked.
People don’t just want content.
They want to learn how to communicate better.
What I’m Building
So, we’re doing something new.
We’re building a storytelling program — practical, not theory.
It’ll show you:
How to find stories in everyday moments
The framework that makes them powerful
How to make people feel something when you speak or write
It’s still in progress. But I’d rather build it with you than alone.
👉 If you want early access, reply “I’m in” and I’ll add you to the beta list.
A Small Challenge
Ask 3 people around you:

You might be surprised by what they say.
It could be the skill you’ve been overlooking — just like I was.
If something like this has ever happened to you, hit reply. I’d love to hear your story.
Cheers,
Epaphra
P.S. We’re quietly building this in public. If you want a behind-the-scenes look or want to test the first version, just reply — I’ll loop you in.
