The One Where Your Story Built the Business with Megan Yelaney

If you've ever stared at a blinking cursor wondering how to share your story—or convinced yourself you don’t have one worth telling, this episode is your warm, strategic hug and kick-in-the-butt all in one.

I sat down with the magnetic Megan Yelaney - a business coach, theater girlie turned multi-million-dollar entrepreneur to talk about how her story didn’t just build her brand... it is her brand. Megan's path from professional performer to powerhouse coach wasn’t a straight line, but it was always led by one thing: her ability to connect through story.

We covered it all - origin stories, perfectionism, Instagram Lives, AI fears, and the uncomfortable-but-oh-so-necessary art of showing your face online. Megan shared her free Business Story Blueprint, a five-part framework that’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs stop overthinking and start storytelling like pros.

Here’s what we dug into:

  • Why your everyday life (toddlers, coffee runs, toy baskets) holds the secret to your next viral post

  • The real reason storytelling converts better than any “3 steps to” carousel ever could

  • How to avoid getting friend-zoned in your content (aka: relatable but unhirable)

  • The difference between a story that gets likes vs. a story that gets clients

  • A permission slip to be messy, real, and imperfect—but consistent

Whether you’re a photographer showing your process, a coach launching your next offer, or someone just trying to figure out how to start - this episode is your sign to hit “post.”

💡 Pro tip from Megan: You don’t need a dramatic transformation to have a compelling story. You need intention, honesty, and a sprinkle of structure.

Grab the Business Story Blueprint (linked in the show notes!) and let’s finally tell the story your future clients have been waiting to hear.
