  • Why Stories Build Businesses Is More Than a Podcast: The Story Behind the New Magazine
    Jan 21 2026

    In this episode of Stories Build Businesses, story and strategy coach Megan Wright explores why this platform was always meant to be more than one format and why the arrival of the Stories Build Businesses magazine completes the original vision.

    If you’ve ever felt like you had something important to say, but not in the way the online world usually asks for it, this episode offers a calmer, more inclusive perspective. Megan reflects on why some stories emerge best in conversation, while others need time, space, and the page and why a story-led business should honour both.

    This conversation is for business owners who value depth over performance, who don’t want their voice shaped by algorithms, and who believe their story deserves more than one way to be told.

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    • Why Stories Build Businesses was always designed to be both a podcast and a magazine

    • How different people process and express their stories in different ways

    • Why creating multiple formats is an act of inclusion, not expansion

    If this episode resonated, share it with someone who would appreciate a quieter, more thoughtful way of building and subscribe for more conversations about story-led strategy, clarity, and building a business that works with you.

    Jan 14 2026

Megan shares her perspective on vulnerability, authenticity, and why strong brand recognition is built through clarity, intention, and repetition - not performance.

    • Why message repetition strengthens brand recognition
    • How content repurposing supports consistency and capacity

  • Edit Your Business: Why Doing Less Can Help You Grow Faster
    Jan 7 2026

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    • Why being busy isn’t the same as making progress
    • How simplifying your focus creates clarity and momentum
    • A practical way to edit your business each quarter without burnout

  • Your Business Doesn't Need Transformation, But You Can Create Change
    Dec 31 2025

    In this episode of Stories Build Businesses, story and strategy coach Megan Wright explains why she doesn’t believe real growth comes from dramatic transformation, especially in business.

    Drawing on psychology, neuroplasticity, and lived experience, Megan explores why sustainable change is built through small, repeated shifts rather than overnight reinvention. She also unpacks how “transformational” language in the coaching industry can create unnecessary pressure, and why progress, repetition, and practice are what actually lead to confidence and long-term success.

    This episode is a grounding listen for business owners who want meaningful change without feeling like they need to become someone else to succeed.

    In this episode:

    • Why repetition creates real change, not transformation
    • How neuroplasticity explains confidence and skill-building
    • The difference between self-belief and confidence in business

    If this episode felt like a breath out, share it with a business owner who’s tired of chasing big promises and subscribe for more psychology-informed, story-led perspectives on sustainable business growth.

  • You Don’t Need to Be More Authentic: Letting Your Personality Shape Your Business
    Dec 24 2025

    In this episode of Stories Build Businesses, story and strategy coach Megan Wright explores what people really mean when they say “be more authentic” and why that advice often feels confusing or unhelpful in business.

    Rather than encouraging oversharing or performance, Megan explains how letting your personality show up naturally in your work helps build a recognisable, human personal brand. She shows how your interests, quirks, and way of communicating become the “secret spice blend” that makes your business memorable and distinct.

    This episode is perfect for business owners who already feel authentic but want their business, messaging, and content to feel more like them.

    In this episode:

    • Why “be more authentic” advice often misses the point
    • How personality builds connection without oversharing
    • Letting people notice who you are instead of telling them

    If this episode resonated, share it with a business owner who wants their business to feel more natural, confident, and human - and subscribe for more conversations about storytelling, personal branding, and sustainable visibility.

  • Your Business Origin Story Is Only The Start
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode of Stories Build Businesses, story and strategy coach Megan Wright explores why your origin story is only one chapter of your business and why the stories you tell after that moment often matter more for connection, trust, and long-term growth.

    While origin stories are a powerful part of personal branding and business storytelling, relying too heavily on a single “why I started” narrative can flatten your message over time. Megan shares why present-tense, purpose-led stories, the ones shaped by your current values, decisions, and lived experience, are often what build deeper trust with your audience.

    This episode is a gentle reframe for business owners who feel boxed in by their origin story, and an invitation to use storytelling as an evolving strategy - not a fixed script.

    In this episode:

    • Why your origin story isn’t the whole of your purpose or positioning
    • How present-tense storytelling builds trust and connection in business
    • The power of sharing quieter, everyday purpose stories

    If this episode resonated, share it with a business owner who feels stuck repeating the same origin story and subscribe for more conversations about story-led strategy, personal branding, and building a business that grows with you.

    Dec 10 2025

    Together, Megan and Helen explore how childhood patterns, workplace conditioning, and inherited expectations shape the way so many entrepreneurs show up in their work.

    In this episode:

    • Why unlearning old rules changes the way you think and work

    • How childhood and workplace conditioning shape your business behaviour

    • The role of lived experience in creating meaningful, human-centred support

  • Why Consistent Messaging Matters More Than Consistent Posting
    Dec 3 2025

    If you’re posting regularly but people still don’t fully understand what you do, or your message feels different every time you show up, this episode will help you understand why.

    In this episode of Stories Build Businesses, story and strategy coach Megan Wright shares why consistent messaging matters more than consistent posting… and how audience trust builds through familiarity, not frequency.

    You’ll learn why mixed messaging happens even when you feel clear in your own mind, how “message drift” confuses the people you want to reach, and what actually makes a message recognisable.

    Most entrepreneurs try to solve visibility problems by increasing quantity. But if your message feels scattered or inconsistent, the missing piece isn’t more posting, it’s coherence.

    In this episode: • Why your audience feels confused even when you’re showing up often • Why you can't see the blind spots in your own messaging • Three simple principles to build a recognisable, story-led message

    If you want a business that feels uncopyable, unforgettable, and aligned with who you truly are, this episode will help you strengthen the message people remember you for.
