Bible Messaging quotes for direction and consideration that tie to business, life, and faith. Many of these verses many have a present application to them now just as they did back then.
These are a series of quotes from the bible that I believe are great references to messaging with authenticity and authority in business practices. I am adding different images and quotes here from the Bible and the point of reference where they can be found.

And some messaging and optics quotes from Loren Weisman can be found here: Messaging and Optics Quotes
In the end, consider taking the time to search out the facts instead of quickly settling for the fiction when it comes to the claims that are being shared with you.
3. Pricing.
Consider this, what if the lack of prices on a website, truly shows an abundance of authority, transparency and honesty?
In the end, our authoritative pricing with a stewarding approach considers every business not as a template but strictly as an individual business.
In the end, while many businesses may choose to exaggerate, or flat out lie simply because they can, show an accuracy and an authority by holding yourself, your content and your business liable for everything you say.
In the end, sharing your knowledge and expertise authentically to connect can do more for the long run now over using, penalizing click bait tactics and engagement farming to gain a false popularity for a moment.
6. Assessing with objectivity
Consider that assessing truth based on authority not popularity may help to avoid catastrophe.
In the end, since it has become easier than ever to make anything popular and appear to be more than it truly is, the time you take to prove and research that popularity may help you avoid mistakes and missteps while keeping you from being fooled by the fools.
7. Don’t force… Consider.
Consider the perceptions, views and assumptions of your message instead of only sharing in a linear way to force your brand and marketing with only your intention.
In the end, crafting your message to consider an exhausted and assuming audience that may have heard it all before, could allow you to disarm their presuppositions and breakthrough to that audience in a refreshing way.
Consider that With AI being used more and more to create everything from online content to books, courses, services, responses, pictures, videos and bios for many peoples marketing and advertising, lines seem to be blurred on what was created and by who.
In the end, to stand out with transparency and honesty in an AI world, consider that if you can not, will not or are afraid to share exactly how you use AI on your products and content, maybe it is time to dial back the ai prompting that helps to present you as more than you are and focus more on what you can create to prove your authentic self.
9. Are they only treating the symptoms?
Consider this question, Are they only addressing your symptoms or are they working with you to find a cure? And, do they have the knowledge and ability to assist you in the healing with a plan for the long run?
In the end, consider thinking about the long term cure over the quick momentary fix that might just end up creating more work or health problems down the line anyways.
10. I read it in a book argument.
Consider that claiming “I read it in a book” can be a very weak, unsubstantiated and an unstable argument for backing up your point of view.
In the end, consider that anyone, at any level of knowledge can easily publish a book in hours these days. With that in mind, please choose a wiser approach to your references and how you back up your arguments.
11. Give your audience a chance to choose what they like.
Consider giving your audience a chance to experience the content first before you ask them to like, share and subscribe. Honor your audience with the connection of your content over focusing on going after clicks before they have even experienced it.
In the end, many others may choose the more brash promoting and hype approach, but it might just help you stand out with honor and respect, if you let some one have an experience before you tell them how much they liked something they haven’t experienced yet.
12. Email frequency option for your mailing list.
Consider providing an emailing frequency option when it comes to signing up for your mailing list. This may just help to grow, maintain and sustain your subscribers even more.
In the end, the offering of frequency can help to grow a greater connection to those that may be hesitant to sign up. So honor your audience by giving them a choice of how much they want to see from you.

My Brand Messaging Mission Statement and Brand Communications is the topic and touch point for s8. E5. n128. of the Wait What Really OK Podcast (Repeat, Old Episode).
My Brand Messaging Mission Statement
and Brand Communications Methodology…
Or brand messaging and optics mandate of sorts from Loren Weisman sharing his views from the culmination of his experiences and education that leads him to approach brand messaging this way.
There is a Mission Statement shared in a famous movie that is titled as
This is my brand messaging mission statement and Brand Communications Methodology.
My view on what I do and why I do it…
as well as why I believe part of the root issue lays in how we say…
what we think we are supposed to say,
what we are told to say and
what to say in order to funnel, entice, and sell.
Still, to me what is missing in the messaging of many is the authenticity, the authority, the humility and the integrity of each individuals story.
To me, when messaging is built on the strongest foundation with the best soil (rooted in the right foundation to grow), every piece of content, every marketing element, every story and every event will compound the brand and its messaging to make conversions to connections and sales faster and more affordable.
Not trying to be like the Fonz and jump the shark or the great white shark they just found in Miami, but more so, attempting to showcase who I am and where I come from regarding messaging.
“Methodically messaging in a harmony of honor, humility, authenticity and authority may create more resonation for your story to be heard by that many more connections.”
All too often, brands and businesses are pulled toward the momentary marketing and messaging tactics of the here, the now, the spam and the attack that is becoming less effective.
Many look to get likes, views, shares, comments and reviews, but they do not look to engage, share, connect and allow a greater connection that in turn. Allows for greater results in the long term. These short cuts end up costing much more in the end.
To me and part of my brand messaging mission statement bullet points…
◦ When the messaging is build with the authenticity to connect, there are better bonds in those connections.
◦ When the messaging is rooted in authority, trust is able to grow in the best ways.
◦ When a brand and the messaging is protected, it allows for the security of the voice, and that messaging to stay true.
◦ When a brand and its messaging showcases clarity in its story, it helps to differentiate from anyone else copying.
◦ When a brand and its messaging maintains consistency, every piece of content, story or advertisement compounds.
◦ When a brand and its messaging showcases compliance, it protects itself, it is investors and its reputation.
◦ Lastly, when a brand and its messaging maintains engagement…it draws more people to stay engaged and not feel sold, pressured or pushed. It allows for the new customer to be drawn in as much as the existing customer wants to stay engaged. By using the strategic patience as well as telling your story not someone else’s…
the result allows for the authenticity, authority and integrity to sing its own melody with its own story while standing out from the harmony and unison many others showcase.

Methodically messaging in a harmony of honor, humility, authenticity and authority may create more resonation for your story to be heard by that many more connections.
In our honest and honor to the truth and to our story, we can build and connect in truth, not the false truth we wish to appear as. Our journey and our experiences may change our story, but when all messaging is connected to the truth and not created for the hype, the ability to connect will grow.
Brand messaging mission statement and message methodology is the topic and touch point for s8. E5. n187. of the Wait What Really OK brand messaging podcast.
This brand communications podcast is available on most sites, stations and apps where you may like to listen to podcasts.

In our humility and in our understanding of not following those trying to tell us how our stories are supposed to go… and switching those concepts out for the structuring of your authentic story and a strategy that is tailored for you, the results will allow for a true resonation of truth and not just overly saturated and overly generated false hype.

Podcast guest booking tactics and podcast host soliciting. Reposting a past episode.
A blog and Podcast with Brand Communications and Optics Strategist Loren Weisman
Podcast guest booking tactics
These concepts go back and forth between the podcaster and the guest or representative trying to be on a podcast or get their client on a podcast.
According to podcast statistics compiled from PodcastHosting.Org that was derived from My Podcast reviews, Chartable, Nielsen, Edison Research, Midroll, Statista and Ipsos, there are over one million podcasts out there with over 29 million episodes to date as of September 2020.
In turn, you have a lot of podcasters that are chasing guests and a lot of guests that are chasing podcasters. One of the key problems that plagues both sides is that both forget that this is such a large market.
And in those solicitations, they often sound very template like and very impersonal. Add in the issues of ego and arrogance as both guests and hosts will present less than accurate information about their shows or their authority and you run into more issues.
Podcast host soliciting
An image of the red marble floor with the cover of the podcast and a series of social media icons.
This is a topic that could be a series, but the main points covered include bringing authenticity to your ask, taking away the impersonal and creating a greater sense of authenticity and coming right to the point and asking what are you doing with your show?
Also exploring the ideas around…
Is your show for authenticity and authority or is it purely for popularity and money? And are you pitching your podcast to guests with authenticity and authority?
You do not need to be on every show and why saying yes to every show might be bad for your messaging and your authority.
Should you pay to be on a show? Should you really even charge?
And the objective truth about your show and your authority over the subjective hype that some create while trying to build their authority and popularity.
“The foundation of your messaging is framed by your words, your story and your actions. Consider making them strong, true, authentic and yours.”
Closing Thoughts
In the end, are you being true to yourself, the show you are trying to get on and the topics that are being discussed?
Or are you only trying to get on another show to self-promote and market yourself?
With so much of that happening so often, hosts are beginning to wise up to the false hype.
Yes, there is great reach in podcasts but it can also do damage as well. Whether as a host or a guest, bring the authenticity of you to the table and table the crazy overly hype, impersonal and spammy approaches that way to many others use.
