Why Storytelling Is Becoming a Go-To-Market Advantage with Angeley Mullins, Aetheris Ventures

August 14, 2026

Are product features enough to stand out anymore?

On this week’s episode of The FODcast, Tim is joined by Angeley Mullins, Founder & CEO of Aetheris Ventures, to explore how founder-led branding, storytelling and AI are reshaping go-to-market strategy.

From the rise of AI-generated content, through to changing buyer expectations and the growing demand for authenticity, this is a really interesting conversation about how businesses build trust in an increasingly noisy market.

We also discuss:

  • Why founder-led branding is becoming more important
  • How storytelling is shifting from “nice to have” to strategic advantage
  • Why audiences are tired of purely feature-led messaging
  • How AI is changing sales, marketing and customer success roles
  • Why creativity, critical thinking and prompting are becoming key skills

A really useful listen for founders, CEOs, marketers and growth leaders thinking about how to differentiate in a market where products and content can be replicated faster than ever.
