Episode description

In this episode Scott Cunningham and I dive into something that honestly changed everything for me when it comes to Meta ads and getting a real return on ad spend. Scott is the creator of the Storyselling Formula and the moment I came across his work I knew I had to bring him on to break it down properly. It's a simple change, and I know that sounds like a big claim, but I've seen it work across so many different campaigns and niches that I had to make a whole episode about it. Enjoy!
