What do real estate, antiques, and Oprah have in common? The short answer: they're all powered by story, curation, and trust. In this video we unpack how emotional storytelling — whether it’s a staged house, a centuries-old vase, or an Oprah endorsement — creates perceived value, drives desire, and changes markets.

You’ll learn:

How staging and narrative increase a home’s perceived worth.

Why collectors pay more for items with provenance and stories.

How Oprah’s influence shows the power of trusted curation and media.

Practical ways you can use these lessons in business, selling, or personal branding.
