   Building Trust in A Noisy World with special guest Amanda Green

   Today on the #MindGrowRadio #storyteller #series #podcast Amanda Green, a former Florida TV news producer turned founder of In Your Voice Media Works, reveals how to stop sounding like marketing and start building real trust with the kind of storytelling people actually want to receive. After 12 years chasing breaking news, Amanda learned that the most powerful content isn't louder, it's more human. She shares why the disconnect between media, PR, and modern buyers is costing companies credibility, and how a newsroom mindset can help cause-driven organizations connect, convert, and create loyal advocates. In this episode you'll discover Why people trust brands that feel transparent, not promotional How Amanda bridges the gap between audience needs and the stories companies tell The difference between using content as a sales channel and using it to earn trust Why story is still one of the most effective tools for shaping perception How consistency, multiple sources, and real-world evidence help you separate truth from noise Amanda also opens up about the career leap that changed everything, leaving a dream job in TV news, unlearning the path she had mapped out since childhood, and rebuilding her career around a deeper calling. If you're wrestling with imposter syndrome, considering entrepreneurship, or trying to grow a business without losing your voice, her advice on confidence and community is invaluable. (so many gems in this conversation!) We also get into the state of journalism today, why trust in media has eroded, and why this is actually an exciting time for new voices to emerge through platforms like Substack, Beehiiv, and Patreon, and Amanda makes a compelling case for anyone with a story to tell to step up and share it.
