How do I...
0:09
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
What do I do with my hands?
0:10
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I think I know this by now.
0:12
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
All right,
0:12
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
y 'all. Welcome back to Architect,
0:14
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a branding blueprint that builds authority.
0:16
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Just a couple of reminders.
0:18
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
This is being recorded.
0:19
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It will be available in lab within the next 24 hours or so,
0:23
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
as with all of our webinars throughout this execution cycle.
0:26
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
And also as a reminder,
0:28
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
we have our follow -up call with Ryan on Thursday,
0:31
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and that's an elite Q &A.
0:34
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So if you have any questions as you're kind of going through and building this stuff,
0:37
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
that is a great place.
0:39
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
to bring those questions and that's this coming Thursday at 1 p .m.
0:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Central.
0:42
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
We also have a Facebook group for our elite members called Elite Commons.
0:45
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
If you have not joined yet,
0:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
please do.
0:47
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It's a private Facebook group where you can follow up with your fellow lab
0:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
members, get peer -to -peer support,
0:53
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and also ask questions throughout the execution cycle.
0:58
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So with that in mind,
0:59
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I'm going to send it back to Ryan so we can get started with part three.
1:02
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Awesome.
1:03
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Well,
1:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
so we have...
1:07
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Thought about who are we and why are we here our values right
1:11
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
and that's important because Remember we talked about what is a brand?
1:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
What does it happen?
1:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We need that emotional connection brand needs that unique point of view
1:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's one of the ways that that's one of the reasons that you you know like that.
1:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This is why I'm here This is why I exist because I have this point of view and it's unique and different Differentiation
1:29
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
is not about having the best features that's gonna change competitors gonna come and go
1:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Customers needs are gonna change
1:36
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right but as long as your point of view stays unique and fresh and relevant
1:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
then you're going to be unique and fresh and relevant so that's why
1:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
we spent so much time talking about vision mission as well as values those things
1:48
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that are going to anchor you spend a lot of time there because that is the essence of
1:52
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
brand and the essence of your why and the reason that you exist then we
1:56
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
talked about authority
1:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
How does authority happen?
2:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
How do you reverse engineer authority?
2:03
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And that was important because if a brand is not authoritative,
2:07
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a brand does not occupy a space
2:11
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
in the hearts and minds of the customer base,
2:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it doesn't matter how great your logo is,
2:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
how intense your values are,
2:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
how staunchly held,
2:19
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
and just how,
2:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
gosh darn it,
2:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
how hard you're trying.
2:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If you're not an authority,
2:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you're not going to break through.
2:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You're not going to be meaningful.
2:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So we talked about some of the ways you do that.
2:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Tactical, practical.
2:27
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Do you have a plan?
2:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Do you answer those specific questions?
2:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Do you maintain some absolutes?
2:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Do you have some core overarching beliefs that other people start nodding their head to?
2:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Yeah,
2:38
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
yeah, I like where you're going.
2:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I like where you're going.
2:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I want to follow you.
2:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's what beliefs are all about.
2:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Do you have some rites and rituals?
2:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So we talked about those.
2:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We talked about how you really want to make sure you're narrowing down in three,
2:48
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
working towards four.
2:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You don't need all five.
2:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So if you have a unique perspective,
2:53
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you have values,
2:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If you have authority,
2:57
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
then believe it or not,
2:59
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you have everything that you need to be a brand.
3:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's what a brand is.
3:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
A brand is unique perspective combined
3:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
with an authoritative position.
3:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's the essence of a brand.
3:14
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
A unique perspective and an authoritative position.
3:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We could literally stop right here.
3:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We could stop right here,
3:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
and I could say,
3:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
now!
3:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Go out and design a logo.
3:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Get your style guide made.
3:29
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And make sure that when you go through this process that the designers understand
3:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
who you are,
3:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
what you believe,
3:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
your values.
3:36
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Make sure that that is reflected.
3:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And believe it or not,
3:38
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you would have almost everything that you need to build
3:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a brand.
3:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If you go back to the brand blueprint,
3:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
we're almost done.
3:47
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But what we're going to spend some time focusing on right now is that last
3:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
little piece that I think is important if you really want your brand
3:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
to scale and to persist over time.
3:57
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And that's your brand voice.
4:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
codifying your brand voice so right now as you sit here today
4:05
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
when you go back and you work with your team and over the course of this the rest of this execution
4:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
cycle you're going to begin defining what is the voice of your brand and
4:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the voice of the brand just as a voice you know your voice is going to be influenced
4:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
by your values and your beliefs
4:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Your vision and your mission,
4:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
where you're going,
4:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it's going to be influenced and it's going to find its way into
4:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
those absolutes that you maintain,
4:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the beliefs that you put out there,
4:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the plan that you have,
4:31
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right? It's going to permeate all of that.
4:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But then something's going to happen.
4:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Over time,
4:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
if you're successful,
4:38
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
over time,
4:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that voice is going to degrade.
4:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
over time that voice is going to get lost over time other
4:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
people are going to bring their own voice their own perspective and they're not going to remember all the work that you did
4:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
today and during this execution cycle they're not going to remember that
4:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
your mission will have changed maybe some of your core values will have changed they're not going to remember
4:59
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that all that content
5:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You do the best that you can.
5:02
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You'll have training and onboarding that hopefully will inform
5:06
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
them. Hopefully narrative and stories will be created about your company,
5:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
about that founding team that really brought everything together.
5:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Hopefully that will happen.
5:14
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But I can tell you in most cases it doesn't.
5:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It doesn't unless the brand voice is fully codified.
5:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Unless it is put in to a fictional character.
5:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So I said before,
5:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
brand is emotion.
5:27
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It's that emotional tug.
5:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We get that with our vision,
5:31
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
with our beliefs.
5:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We get that with our mission,
5:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
with our values.
5:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's where the emotion comes from.
5:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I said that a brand is authority.
5:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We reverse engineered that.
5:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You know how to do that.
5:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But then I also said a brand is a fictional character.
5:42
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
That's what we're going to talk about now.
5:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Because if your brand does not become a fictional character,
5:48
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
if your brand stays just you or it stays just the people,
5:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
then once the you,
5:53
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
once the people are gone,
5:56
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Not coming there come a day where you're gonna want to sell your company or
6:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you're gonna want to leave your company Or the people who are there are gonna leave
6:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it's gonna happen Showed you before we should do the we believe video the vast
6:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
majority of people in that video are no longer at this company and yet the voice persists
6:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
There's gonna come a day when you are going to leave your brand when key people are going to leave your
6:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
brand You want the voice to persist if you want the value to remain
6:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
How do you do that?
6:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's what we're going to be answering in this section right now.
6:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So a couple opening questions.
6:27
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Why is Apple more love
6:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
than Dell?
6:32
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
We're in Austin right now.
6:36
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Michael Dell was one of my primary entrepreneurial influences.
6:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I started at the University of Texas at Austin in 1999.
6:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
My dorm room was right across the street from Jester Dormitory,
6:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
where Michael Dell launched Dell Computer Company.
6:49
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I have friends who work for Dell.
6:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I like Dell.
6:54
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I have Apple products.
6:55
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I like Dell.
6:57
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I love Apple.
6:58
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I'm not alone.
6:59
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Why did that happen?
7:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They're both making the same kind of stuff around the same amount of time.
7:03
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I mean,
7:05
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
really, at the time,
7:05
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Dell had a lot more tailwind.
7:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I mean, it was rocking and rolling.
7:10
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
No windows.
7:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's a part of it.
7:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I bet there's a bit more,
7:16
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
though. Oh,
7:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the phone?
7:18
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Again,
7:19
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it's a part of it.
7:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Products are a part of it.
7:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But I think you'll see it comes down to a bit more than just
7:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
some of the products.
7:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Stan Lee.
7:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
How did Stan Lee beat DC Comics?
7:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So if you're a comic book nerd like me,
7:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you know that back in the 40s and 50s,
7:38
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
DC Comics,
7:39
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
they ruled the world.
7:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Early 60s,
7:41
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they had Batman,
7:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they had Superman,
7:43
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they had all the cool stuff.
7:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And then something happened in the late 60s,
7:47
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
early 70s.
7:48
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This guy Stan Lee came along and started giving us these new characters,
7:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
started giving us Spider -Man,
7:52
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the X -Men.
7:54
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And all of a sudden we realized they just felt
7:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
different.
7:59
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They felt more human.
8:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So even though they were superheroes,
8:02
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they felt more human.
8:03
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They felt more interesting.
8:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They felt more like us.
8:06
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And as a result,
8:07
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Marvel wound up beating DC.
8:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Think about Marvel right now,
8:10
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the movies that are being created,
8:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the Marvel Universe.
8:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It's a more valuable franchise.
8:14
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Most would argue.
8:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And they got freaking Superman.
8:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You got the Man of Steel.
8:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Come on.
8:19
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You got Batman.
8:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Come on.
8:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And yet, there's Marvel.
8:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Spider -Man movies,
8:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Avengers movies.
8:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It's different level kind of stuff.
8:29
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So how did that happen?
8:31
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
What did Stan Lee do?
8:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And then lastly,
8:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
why are these cows standing?
8:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Why on earth
8:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
is Chick -fil -A,
8:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a company that's closed on Sundays,
8:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
how are they still able to sell more chicken than just about everybody else,
8:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
including other chicken companies that got started way before they did?
8:47
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They sell more chicken than Kentucky Fried Chicken.
8:49
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
They're closed on Sundays.
8:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Why do they have cows
8:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
standing around telling people to eat more chicken?
8:59
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Right.
8:59
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Why does this stuff matter this when we get into codifying brand voice
9:03
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
so brands have a problem Right brands have a problem and
9:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the problem is to be human Right.
9:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This is kind of the the brand paradox For a brand to matter.
9:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It has to be human It has to take on human characteristics But
9:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
if you swing that pendulum too far and the brand becomes too human
9:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
or the founder
9:29
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
becomes too much of the face of the brand,
9:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
then you suffer from guru -itis.
9:32
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Right?
9:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And you see this.
9:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Where the brand...
9:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the guru are inextricably linked now look I'm not knocking Tony Robbins
9:41
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
and had a great meeting with the organization last week I have tremendous
9:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
respect for what they do and Tony does exactly what he what he wants to do it's his company
9:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
he runs it he doesn't mind that it's linked to his to his brand that's fine I'm not knocking
9:54
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
this concept I'm just saying if you would like to have a company to brand that lasts
9:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
longer than you if you like for somebody
10:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
us to come along one day and perhaps acquire your brand or if you
10:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
work for a company where the brand is
10:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the founder and you would like to stay at that company in the unfortunate event
10:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that they get hit by a bus and we can't go to
10:16
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
this extreme
10:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This guru -itis I see infecting a lot of brands,
10:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right? But it's what we got to do.
10:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I want to be more human,
10:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
so I got to get out there.
10:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I got to be the face of the brand.
10:26
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I got to be telling everybody what they need to do.
10:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I need to be the next Tony Robbins for my industry,
10:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
for my brand.
10:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This is what you've seen happen again and again and again.
10:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And I will acknowledge that it is better than the alternative,
10:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right?
10:36
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This is the alternative.
10:37
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I've been
10:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive
10:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
one.
10:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I didn't do it to be cool.
10:55
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I didn't do it to make a statement.
10:58
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I just liked it.
11:00
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I want
11:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
to make something clear.
11:10
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I love Matthew McConaughey.
11:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
He's my spirit animal.
11:15
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
He's basically the coolest person ever.
11:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Austinite,
11:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
fellow Longhorn,
11:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
hook him.
11:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And when he does the hook him horns,
11:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
he does it like this,
11:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
which is just so much cooler.
11:27
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I can't pull that off.
11:28
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I'm like, eee.
11:31
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
He's super cool.
11:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And these ads came out.
11:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You all remember this ad?
11:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It was actually parodied on Saturday Night Live,
11:37
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
right?
11:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Because it felt so absurd.
11:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It felt so ridiculous.
11:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Because this idea that Lincoln and Matthew McConaughey,
11:43
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
right,
11:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they just didn't go together,
11:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right?
11:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And I get what Lincoln's trying to do,
11:47
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
right?
11:49
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I understand what Lincoln was trying to do.
11:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And again, I'm not knocking the company.
11:52
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Make great products.
11:53
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
My wife has a Lincoln Navigator,
11:56
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
right? So good products,
11:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
not knocking.
11:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I'm just saying that didn't work.
12:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It doesn't work.
12:02
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Why?
12:03
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Because Lincoln as a brand,
12:05
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
at least as we stand today,
12:07
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
had no soul.
12:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
What does Lincoln stand for?
12:11
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Nothing.
12:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Nothing.
12:14
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And when you have a brand that has no soul,
12:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
what is the only option that you have?
12:19
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You co -opt the soul of someone else.
12:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And that's why we have celebrity endorsement.
12:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We have no real soul.
12:29
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I can't help but notice that you have a soul,
12:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Matthew McConaughey.
12:31
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We would like some of your soul.
12:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So we're going to stick you in our car.
12:35
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We're going to drive you around because we are utterly soulless.
12:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You've never really seen Apple do
12:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
celebrity endorsement because Apple has a soul.
12:45
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Apple has a perspective.
12:47
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And...
12:49
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
When Steve Jobs was alive,
12:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it was very much Steve Jobs.
12:53
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Yes, he would be the spokesperson for the brand,
12:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
but the brand still had a soul.
12:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
He wasn't the narrator of the 1984 ad.
13:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And even in the years since his death,
13:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
much of the soul of Steve Jobs has persisted
13:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
inside of Apple.
13:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And if Apple declines and fails or anything,
13:12
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it will be because they forgot that.
13:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And the companies and the brands that
13:18
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
have declined over the years,
13:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I believe,
13:20
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
are the companies and the brands that lost their soul.
13:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They lost their soul.
13:25
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They forgot what they stood for.
13:27
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They had it at some point.
13:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I guarantee you they had it at some point.
13:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They wouldn't have been as successful as they did if they didn't have that.
13:32
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They wouldn't have rallied the best team members.
13:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They wouldn't be able to sell their product.
13:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It wouldn't happen if they didn't have a soul,
13:38
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
if they didn't have a perspective.
13:39
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
They didn't have all the things we talked about earlier.
13:41
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If they didn't have those things,
13:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
plus a great product,
13:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
which is absolutely table stakes,
13:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you have to do it.
13:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If they didn't have those things,
13:48
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
they wouldn't have been successful.
13:49
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So I know that it was there.
13:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I know it was there with Dell.
13:52
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Dell had a scrappiness to it.
13:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It was there.
13:56
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
People who were there,
13:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it was there.
13:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Founder left,
14:00
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it was gone.
14:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It was never institutionalized.
14:02
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
It was never codified.
14:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So I said this before,
14:04
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the branding paradox is that brands must abandon the face of their founders
14:08
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
if they want to scale.
14:09
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
But faceless brands are boring and inhuman.
14:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
If you want to scale a brand,
14:17
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you have to abandon the face of the founder.
14:19
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
You have to abandon the face of the company.
14:21
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
And yet,
14:22
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
the second you do that,
14:23
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
it's the second you start to lose your soul.
14:24
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
So what is the solution?
14:28
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Well,
14:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a lot of people would say that we need to start telling better stories.
14:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
We've heard this storytelling storytelling is how we fix this if
14:37
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
we as a brand have stories and narrative around this then People
14:42
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
be engaged by that and I think storytelling is is a part of it,
14:46
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
but I'm not sure that storytelling is the answer Stories
14:51
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
are big stories are important But while humans love
14:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a good story.
14:56
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
I believe that it's characters that we crave
15:00
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
While human beings love a good story,
15:02
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
it is characters that we crave.
15:05
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
These are some famous characters.
15:09
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Beloved characters.
15:12
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Despised characters.
15:14
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Characters that elicit emotion.
15:16
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Characters that very often,
15:18
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
if you know the movies they played in,
15:20
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
you could probably recite some of their famous lines.
15:23
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Even though you may not remember the exact plotline of the movie
15:27
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
itself.
15:32
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
really two stories that get told.
15:35
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
There's comedies and there's tragedies.
15:38
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
There's love stories and there's the hero's journey.
15:41
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
You got a hero,
15:43
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
something goes bad,
15:44
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and the whole rest of the story is them kind of getting back to good.
15:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
That's kind of every story,
15:48
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and then you got romance stories.
15:50
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
That's it.
15:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
That's what we got to pick from.
15:53
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
People think about Pixar as being great storytellers,
15:57
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
and they are.
15:58
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
But they're telling the same story again and again and again.
16:00
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
What changes?
16:01
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
The characters change.
16:03
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
The characters change.
16:06
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
And I would submit to you that if there is a book,
16:08
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a movie,
16:09
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a TV show that you love,
16:12
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
it is not because of great screenwriting.
16:15
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It is not because of great storytelling.
16:18
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It is because there is a character that you resonate with.
16:21
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
As I said this before,
16:24
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a brand is not a logo.
16:26
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
A brand is a fictional character.
16:29
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
If you would like for your brand to persist,
16:32
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
if you would like for your brand to be meaningful,
16:34
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
to have influence,
16:35
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and to last forever,
16:37
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
then your brand needs to become a fictional character.
16:40
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Your brand needs to become a fictional character.
16:44
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So that begs the question,
16:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
how are characters made?
16:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Thankfully,
16:48
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
this is not a question without an answer.
16:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Any of you take any screenwriting classes or fiction
16:56
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
writing classes in school or outside?
16:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Anybody?
16:58
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Yeah,
17:00
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I wish...
17:01
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So I would sooner hire somebody with a screenwriting degree or
17:06
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a fiction,
17:08
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
like creative writing,
17:09
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
fiction writing degree than I would a marketing degree,
17:12
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
a digital marketer.
17:14
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
And I don't believe that you should be allowed to graduate from
17:18
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
any major university with a marketing degree unless you have some type of
17:22
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
screenwriting.
17:24
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
the ability to craft characters,
17:26
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
to produce banter and repartee,
17:29
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
all these things are just critical to copywriting and anything.
17:32
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So that's a bit of a rant.
17:33
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
But this notion of how are characters made,
17:36
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
how are fictional characters made,
17:37
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
is not an unknown.
17:38
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It is taught.
17:39
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
And the framework is called the character diamond.
17:42
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
So if you were going to write a fiction story,
17:46
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
if you were going to say,
17:48
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I want to create this fictional world,
17:52
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
that is a world of witchcraft and wizardry it's going
17:56
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
to take place englandish right and
18:00
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
you are going to create this entire world you would need to create characters
18:04
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and if you were going to create characters one of the tools that
18:09
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
you would use to create those characters is the character diamond now what i'm going to teach you is how to build a character diamond for
18:13
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
a brand
18:13
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
This is the most rednecked,
18:16
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
bastardized version of a character diamond you'll ever see.
18:19
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
If you talk to somebody who actually knows how to really create rich,
18:22
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
amazing characters,
18:25
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
they will see what I'm about to show and be like,
18:28
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that is just like,
18:30
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
that's just some baby stuff.
18:33
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Right?
18:34
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
Yes.
18:35
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Remember what I said before?
18:36
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
It's not about being,
18:38
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
you know,
18:39
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
accurate all the time.
18:40
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This is correct.
18:44
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
This works,
18:45
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
and it's because the people that you're going up against from a brand perspective are so pathetic.
18:48
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
You want to write a fiction book that has meaning,
18:50
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
that has characters,
18:51
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
you're going to get some of the greatest writers on planet Earth.
18:53
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Good luck with that.
18:55
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
J .K.
18:55
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Rowling, she's pretty good.
18:57
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
J .R .R.
18:59
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Tolkien, have fun with that.
19:01
S…
Speaker 1 (03)
C .S.
19:03
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
Lewis, come on now.
19:05
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
You're going to go up against some of these folks in terms of character creation?
19:08
S…
Speaker 2 (03)
I don't want that.
