About this listen
- The hardest part of storytelling is knowing where to begin.
- Most people start with way too much setup… or none at all.
- Use one simple formula to fix it:
- “So…” + Specific Time + Person + Action + Place + Goal/Tension
- Why it works: your listener instantly knows what’s happening and why it matters.
- A good opening line buys you attention for the next 90 seconds.
- Keep stories tight: 90–120 seconds is enough to land a point.
- Script your first line, test it, tweak it, and use it everywhere.
