What sets this book apart is its simplicity and effectiveness. Miller outlines a powerful framework for creating a narrative that resonates with clients and prospects.

I’ve only begun the book the day before yesterday, and today I found myself on pgs 75-77 with an example that made me put down the book and log into my Amazon account just so that I could leave a ‘review’ as there is an interesting dynamic at play here! Perhaps with my reading a little late, the Copyright 2017 (by Donald Miller), and as of today it is July of 2021 I have the gift of hindsight in being able to share my perspective on this particular example and perhaps pose an interesting point.
Under the heading ‘The Fatal Mistake’, which maybe ironic (again, I haven't finished the book yet!). In reference to the brand ‘Tidal’ the author states “Rapper Jay Z founded the company with a personal investment of a whopping $56 million [...],” and goes on to conclude that “Tidal existed to help the artist win the day, not customers [...].”
In spring of this year (2021) Jay-Z reportedly sold Tidal for $302 million which reportedly increased his net worth by 40%. This may or may not be true however it is worth noting in taking a look further at the example in the book!
Maybe The Artist is ‘The Customer’, The Industry is ‘The Villain’, Those Who Pay are ‘The Hero(es)’, and the brand (‘Tidal’) is ‘The Guide’. This would make sense as Jay-Z gave us ‘the blueprint’ and seems to me liberating, not fatal. It’s a win-win for the artist (who gets paid more their worth) and the customer (who would pay for any other streaming service, gets to be ‘The Hero’ who uses their coin to set the artist free from ‘The Villain’).
I’ve always respected Jay-Z as an artist and lyricist (he is not in my Top 3 Favorite Rappers Dead or Alive, but in my Top 5 depending on the day), however this example highlighted for me his magnificence as a storyteller and brilliance as a businessman. I just had somewhat of an ‘aha’ moment which truly opened my eyes as I’ve heard talk of this about him before and didn’t fully comprehend the skill involved (which this book has helped me be able to do).
Again, great book! Worth every penny. My mind is blown and I'm not even on page 100! I’m getting back to it now, just wanted to make that point. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their storytelling abilities, as it is an important, if not vital life skill for everyone, including those who are building a brand.
(THANK YOU!)

This book, “Building a Brand Story: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen,” by Donald Miller, is a gem summing up college semesters worth of information on story-telling and construction into actionable steps for the reader and business owner to apply in a fundamental way that is easy to digest. This alone proves the book to be invaluable, yet additionally it provides peace of mind that eliminates doubt and instills a sense of confidence in sharing the story behind the brand or business that leads to more satisfied customers and more business.Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021
