About this listen

Welcome to Narrative Arts Media, where we turn the chaos of content creation into clarity — and ads that actually work.

Hosted by Chad Bruce, this series breaks down the real-world process of making UGC (User-Generated Content) that doesn’t feel fake, forced, or “ad-agency awkward.” Whether you’re a small business owner, creator, or just tired of videos that flop, this podcast gives you the frameworks, psychology, and stories behind scroll-stopping creative.

🎯 In every episode, we’ll cover:

  • How to make ads people actually want to watch
  • Storytelling frameworks that convert (without sounding salesy)
  • UGC vs. Influencer marketing — what’s real, what’s hype
  • How to create content that feels authentic, not corporate
  • Real Q&A from creators and brands in the trenches

Expect honest talk, practical tips, and the occasional caffeine-fueled rant about why authenticity beats algorithms every time.

If you’ve ever said, “I hate being on camera” or “Why don’t my videos convert?” — this show is for you.

    UGC Explained - Answering YOUR Questions - Making Ads that DON'T SUCK
    Oct 28 2025

    Let’s kick things off with the episode that started it all. We’re answering the real questions creators ask — what is UGC, how do you make it feel real, what should you say, and how do you film ads people actually trust?

    You’ll learn:

    • The 3-beat story formula for any product
    • Why “energy shifts” keep people watching
    • How to look natural on camera (even if you hate being on it)
    • Why empathy beats aesthetics — every time
    • The “Chaos to Chef” mindset for getting better with each video

    By the end of this episode, you’ll stop overthinking and start creating.
