This page only takes 5 minutes to read all the way through and only 1 minute to make a decision that dramatically changes the trajectory of your life for the better.
So, if you can’t sit and read for 5 minutes then I would advise you to close this page, give up any goals you have of living your dream life and go play diablo or something like that.
This is probably not for you.
The first question you may have is ‘What is Primal Storytelling?’
To put simply it is a system and mindset for easily capturing people’s attention in the internet age.
It is a counter to the endless noise that is being published online every single second, 24/7.
It comes in two parts.
1. A mindset for interacting with the average, jaded, glass eyed person that has never heard of you before.
2. A system for quickly and easily waking someone up from their
personal mental fog to become hooked on you as a person.
Primal Storytelling can be used to achieve a wide array of goals.
If your goal is to get hired at your dream job, Primal Storytelling will make you stand out to any employer.
No matter your actual qualifications or degrees.
If you run a business, it is a way of differentiating you from your competitors in the mind of your potential customers.
It allows you to escape the endless rat race of discounts and price drops to be able to charge premium prices for the exact same products.
Primal Storytellers use a simple fact about human nature to gain an advantage in life: People act based on emotion and justify with logic.
For example, the average person is far more likely to visit the restaurant of someone that they are friends with even if the food isn’t great.
Why?
Because people would rather give their time, attention and money to those that they care about and who care about a them.
This is not some sort of unethical manipulation tactic or a way of tricking people.
It is about presenting yourself to others in a way that they connect with you on a human level rather than as an exchangeable commodity.
Here are just some of things you will learn:

generate sales. (Page 78-102)
Curiosity is one of the most commonly used emotions by marketers to influence behavior, but when it is combined with two additional factors it unleashes a near frenzy of buying behaviors. This understanding alone helped me take all of my companies to the next level. (Page 96)
When marketing to baby boomers and older generations who have a built a lifetime of regrets there is a powerful emotion that will motivate them to action more than nearly anything else. (Page 99)
Meet the Author- Tony Butler
Countless hours of research, experimentation, and dedication have gone into developing this powerful marketing system. As a passionate advocate of the storytelling approach, I firmly believe that it holds the key to transforming marketing strategies and driving unparalleled success.
I am deeply invested in my students' long-term success, and witnessing their growth and achievements is the ultimate reward for me. Guiding aspiring marketers to master the art of storytelling is not just a career, but a calling that I wholeheartedly embrace.
It is my purpose to empower others to discover the immense potential within themselves and create a lasting impact in their careers and businesses. Together, we are forging a path towards a future where Primal Storytelling becomes a driving force in the marketing world, leaving a legacy that extends far beyond the present.
We began testing the Primal Storytelling™ system in multiple industries more than five years ago, and it has delivered millions of dollars of value to companies. In October of 2022, I released a book based on the system, Primal Storytelling, Marketing for Humans, and it quickly became an international bestseller. Marketers around the world intuitively recognized the power of storytelling.
Primal Storytelling pushes back against modern ideas of hiding your flaws or your failures and pulls human connection to the forefront.
There are many that are currently worried about AI taking all the jobs in the world and worry about being left behind.
Primal Storytelling side steps all these issues as the quality of work is only one small factor as to why people choose to work with you.
They work with you because they like you, they trust you, and in their heart of hearts care for your well-being.
You may wonder why would a business work with or hire someone less qualified; wouldn’t they just look at it logically and put profits first?
Well, the thing to understand is that businesses are not nebulous abstractions but are run by people.
People within the business make decisions no matter how rich or successful they are. They make decisions based on emotion and justify with logic.
Using Primal Storytelling they will learn to love you and care for you on a deep level.
They emotionally decide to work with you then ad-hawk rationalize to themselves how you were actually always the most qualified.
It is only in fiction and movies where people are cold, calculating, robot-like beings.
In the real world, everyone is good in their nature and want to connect with others.
That is the core of Primal Storytelling.
Effectively and efficiently connecting with others.
Primal Storytelling University offers you everything you need to begin connecting with others, no matter how you currently feel about yourself.
You may think that you are not interesting or have some self-doubts.
That is okay, it’s normal.
I was in the exact same boat just a few years ago.
I created Primal Storytelling as a way to solve my own problems, not necessarily to solve other people’s.
For a little backstory, I was an airborne Ranger in the Army. I have spent 25% of my life in the military world.
Getting out of the Army to join the civilian world was one of the hardest transitions of my entire life.
The rules are totally different as there is no hierarchy, no overarching mission and no checklist of procedures.
In the civilian world, everyone is on their own trying to figure out what to do with their life.
And to add to the difficulty, when I first got out, my wife was pregnant with our first child and wanted to quit working and be a stay-at-home mom.
Meaning I had to figure out how to earn a lot more money and had to do it fast.
The biggest thing that I learned from my time in the military is how to work.
I may not have had very many useful skills for the business world and didn’t have any connections but I did know how to outwork everyone around me.
That need to provide for my family drove me into the world of business and entrepreneurship. I dove headlong into how to start and most importantly grow a business which quickly led me to the importance of marketing.
Marketing is the lifeblood of building your personal network or growing a business. It is a noisy world out there and if you don't know how to promote yourself, no one will ever hear about you, your products, or services.
Over the years, I founded multiple companies in different industries: martial arts, technology, consulting, real estate, ecommerce, etc., and I consulted with hundreds of others.
As more people asked me how I was doing it, I finally felt the need to write down my methodology to make it easier for others to learn, and that was the birth of my international best selling book, Primal Storytelling, Marketing for Humans.
It's a distillation of my most important business and marketing learnings over 20+ years.
Primal Storytelling is more than just a marketing system. It is a mindset shift. It is a way of thinking about business, control over your time, and the art and science of getting attention.
