Most people don’t have a content problem.
They have a storytelling problem.
Great storytellers do this:
• Start with context (who/when/where)
• Ask a question → create curiosity
• Delay the answer
• Drop clues, not conclusions
• Let assumptions build
• Reveal slowly
• Make people feel something
Facts get ignored.
Emotion gets remembered.
Master this → attention comes to you.
