Speak Up Storytelling: Matthew DIcks

On episode #57 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, I talk storytelling!

In our followup segment, I congratulate listeners on recent successes at The Moth. 

Next we listen to my story about a difficult medical decision and what it revealed about his marriage to Elysha. 

Amongst the many things discussed includes:

1. Identifying the crux of the story

2. “Why do we do the things we do?”

3. Finding the beginning of a story by centering on the end

4. “But” statements to break into moments of humor

5. Tonality

6. Truth in storytelling

7. Ending a story effectively (and not stupidly)
