How to Get Your Audience to Trust You Instantly

Entrepreneur School

What if you could instantly build trust with your audience—without a single coffee chat, sales call, or endless hours of content creation?

That’s exactly what Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Mariana Henninger helps entrepreneurs do through the power of storytelling and brand videos. In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of trust, the secret to curating the right story, and why your brand needs more than just an “impression”—it needs a connection.

We’re talking about:

• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to tell their brand story (and what to do instead)
• Why your audience needs to feel something to buy from you
• How to figure out which part of your story will resonate most with your audience
• The “brand video” concept that accelerates trust, sales, and credibility
• Real examples of how video storytelling converts audiences into paying clients
• How Mariana’s own brand video led to over $30,000 in sales from a single podcast appearance

If you’ve ever struggled with how to tell your story in a way that builds trust and authority without feeling salesy, this episode is a must-listen.
