Full testimonial transcript
Hello. My name is Mitchell T Palmer, and I have purchased both the electronic version and the actual cards for both workshop tactics and storyteller tactics.
These are something I've been very excited to get my hands on. In fact, it took a little bit of saving to be able to afford them.
But I have already noticed in building my online course content that in reviewing, just reviewing the Pip procedures, I have learned a little bit more about the errors I'm making.
Every time I sit in front of this camera to record another module for my students.
I'm really excited to see how this unleashes some really great storytelling to make a more impactful experience for my clients down the road.
So thank you, Charles. Thank you, Pip Decks. Thank you. Thank you a million times. Thank you.
These have changed my life. They've changed the boring way that I go through my online course recordings.
There was a boy named Mitchell. He got a hold of Pip Decks. He learned how to tell a great story, and he started actually producing interesting and compelling content.
From boring content to compelling stories
Mitchell discovered Storyteller Tactics when he was struggling to create engaging online course content. As a professional barber and consultant, he recognised that his course recordings were boring and needed to be more compelling for his students.
He invested in both the electronic and physical versions of the cards. Even just reviewing the Pip procedures helped him identify errors he was making in his content creation. This systematic approach to storytelling transformed his ability to create engaging educational content.
The online course content challenge
Creating online course content that students actually want to watch requires more than just information—it needs compelling narratives. Mitchell found that Storyteller Tactics provided the tools he needed to transform boring recordings into interesting and compelling content.
The cards helped him understand how to structure stories that would engage his students, making his educational content more impactful and enjoyable to consume.
What made the difference
Mitchell's experience shows how Storyteller Tactics solves real problems for content creators and educators. The cards provide instant access to proven storytelling frameworks, reducing planning time whilst maintaining quality. The systematic approach, in particular, helped him identify and correct errors in his content creation process.
How Mitchell uses Storyteller Tactics in practice
Mitchell scripts modules by picking a structure card, writing one sentence per beat and then recording to those beats. He uses a hook to start strong, then adds character to keep the learner in view—“what this means for your next cut.” For live sessions, he keeps a story hook card on the desk so openings never feel flat. His videos now flow, and retention improves.
Who this helps
- Vocational educators turning practical know‑how into engaging lessons
- Course creators looking for a repeatable scripting method
- Independent trainers who need to record consistently at quality
