Tips for picking your first story
Pick something you've told before. If you've shared a story at a dinner party, you can share it here. It's already tested.
Emotion matters more than plot. A small moment that made you feel something beats a big event that didn't.
Start small. Your first story doesn't have to be your best. A 2-minute story is a perfect first step.
Don't overthink it. Hit record and start talking. You can always try again.
Still think your life is boring?
The most common lie we tell ourselves is "my life isn't interesting enough." But the math proves otherwise.
