Be a Better Storyteller, or The Pizza Man #27
Manage episode 160442176 series 1184428
"Keep the doors locked. Don't go outside. Keep the windows shut. Just be a little bit cautious - we'll have a squad car patrolling the area all night. We'll try to make contact with Pizzaland and see if we can get some information on this guy"
- Woman, to Kevin Sanji
You don't want to tell bad stories because telling bad stories makes you feel bad ("Brad, I'm finally encountering the idea that loneliness is my only end-goal"). So here's what's going to happen next: We're going to get Kevin to tell a story about a pizza delivery gone wrong. And then we're going to break the story down step-by-step, uncover the mechanics of storytelling, and get you telling better stories. We cover:
- What happened after Kevin ordered pizza?
- Who is the "Pizza Man"?
- Why does the order of events matter?
- A simple process (using observation and deliberate practice) to improve your storytelling performance
