#48 Why I am All-In on Podcast Storytelling! | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob. June 27 2025.

In this episode of Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob, Rob opens up about two powerful conversations that reignited his passion for purpose-driven storytelling and meaningful connection. First, he sits down with longtime mentee and now dear friend, Oligaby Leal, who made the bold decision to step down as CEO of a leading logistics company in Mexico to pursue a life aligned with her own purpose—not someone else’s expectations. Their candid and vulnerable exchange explores what it truly means to choose fulfillment over convention. Rob also shares reflections from his birthday weekend, spent in deep conversation with his daughter and close friends. These heart-to-heart moments highlight the power of authentic dialogue across generations and reinforce Rob’s belief that real connection happens through intentional, open conversation. And with great excitement, Rob announces the launch of the Storytellers Company Studio, a new offering designed to help businesses and organizations tell their stories through podcasting—easily, affordably, and with impact. Whether it’s “podcasting as business development” or part of your marketing strategy, the Studio is here to help brands connect and grow through the power of story. This episode is full of insight, inspiration, and heartfelt storytelling. Tune in—you’ll walk away with something real. 🔗 Check out Bruce Hamilton’s newsletter mentioned in the episode: https://everybody.beehiiv.com/p/podcasts-as-marketing Storytellers Company Branded Podcast Thesis Document: Branded Podcasts SC - May 28th 2025.pdf
