For me, it’s clear: Entrepreneurs and solopreneurs need two things:
👉 The ability to think in systems and build them.
👉 The ability to actively shape their storytelling.
In our new series Ping Pong & Personal Branding, I sit down with people who share sharp, practical insights on exactly that. The very first episode features Alex T. Steffen – speaker, coach, and consultant.
In just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, he shows why storytelling is not a luxury but a craft every solopreneur should master.

Your Action: Discover Your Origin Story
Every brand begins with a story. Yet often, we only tell it on the surface or we think it’s not exciting enough. But the truth is: your origin story is the key to connection and trust.
Ask yourself:
- Which turning points in your life became milestones that shaped your current mission?
- Which challenge or crisis was not just an obstacle, but the beginning of your actual story?
- And what if everything that has happened to you so far was simply a narrative leading to your inner crystal—the core you now share through your brand?
This isn’t a theoretical exercise. It’s an invitation to reframe your story—and in doing so, lay the foundation for authentic storytelling.
Next Steps
If you’d like to start shaping your origin story right now, take 15 minutes and write it down as if you were telling it to a good friend.
And then: test it.
Share your story in a post, a pitch, or even just in conversation. Notice where it resonates and where it doesn’t.
Because storytelling isn’t perfected in isolation. It gets sharpened in dialogue.
