We’re back with another exciting interview from a million dollar course creator, Jono Petrohilos.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Jono’s podcast, Course Creator Community Podcast: Craft Your SIgnature Talk with Heather Sager.

Jono’s storytelling ability and strong communication skills impressed me from the start. When I heard him share his signature story (from being ranked as the worst fitness bootcamp instructor to creating a million dollar digital course business TEACHING other fitness instructors), I knew I had to have him on the show.

In this episode we’re doing something a little different. Instead of digging into Jono’s expertise on building a digital course business (though he drops some great gems in the episode), our conversation was designed to be a case study for crafting a strong Signature Story.

You’ll hear Jono share his story (like he would from a stage), then we have a candid conversation around why it worked, what process he went through to learn how to tell his story and improve, how speaking shows up for him in his digital course business and more.

But before you dig in you might be wondering, what is a “Signature Story”?

Simply put, a Signature Story is your story as an entrepreneur of your journey related to what you do today. 

Your Signature Story is NOT your resume. It is NOT a list of accomplishments and it is NOT about demonstrating how all of your experiences have “perfectly positioned you for where you are today”…

Your Signature Story is the story of the relatable STRUGGLE that led you to your SOLUTION, and the SUCCESS (aka result) of that solution on your life and business.

To dig into this topic further, check out this episode: 5 Essential Truths for Crafting Your Signature Story (plus there’s a few more storytelling episodes listed below)
