Storyboarding Your Business Idea
Monday, August 18, 2025, 6:30 - 9:00 pm

You have less than 7 seconds to hook and keep buyers. Most websites drown in half-baked messaging: feature lists, generic taglines, and copy-and-paste value props. But buyers are very picky. You need a story that hooks in seconds, earns minutes of engagement, and converts buyers fast. That’s what the Story Blueprint Workshop delivers.
