Listen, my friend, there's one trade in particular that, if you're able to get good at it, can genuinely improve the way you live your life just so, so, so much—you're not even aware of it. This one skill, in particular, can improve you in

so many different ways; it's insane. But I'm not just going to keep yapping; let's get straight to the point. A couple of days ago, I was sitting at the gym, you know, just having my workout—nothing new—and as I was resting in

between one of the sets, my friend came up to me. You know, we just started to have a little small talk, a little conversation. But in my mind, in the back of my head, I had this one idea; I wanted to share a story that was

sitting on my mind, but I just didn't know how to word it. You know that feeling? It's like you want to say something, but you just don't know how to actually express it out of your mind. It's like the mind-mouth connection is

malfunctioning; you don't know what to do. And as I was standing there just thinking, okay, how do I say it so that it makes sense? It was a random story from what happened in school—right?—nothing

important, but I just didn't know how to say it because there were so many side plots I needed to mention, so many things. I didn't even know where to start. And in my mind, I just started to think about it, and at one point I just thought

To myself, yeah, just shut up, just shut up, just get to the point. So I tell my friends that, okay, I'm just going to do one more set and I'm just going to tell you a story about something, and they're cool. They're pretty cool, just pretty...

much what happened. I go to my bench press or lateral raise—I don't even remember what exercise I was doing, but that's not relevant. Right as I was done and I sat down in the exact same spot where I was resting, suddenly I have like

five people standing around me, all almost in a circle, whilst I was sitting there. And I was just talking to them, right? But as I took a deep breath, I thought about what I wanted to say. I started talking about it; I held their attention for a solid few minutes and

based on that, okay, it was like a—it was a story with a joke at the end of it, right? So everybody found it funny, and we were able to like base the conversation from there. That's the power of storytelling, my friend. This is one of the most viable

skills you can develop in general—in sales, social skills, anywhere. It's it's very significant, and especially in the modern era where people—people can't get their hands off of their phones. I bet you didn't look this video up now; you were just scrolling on your phone and

then you thought, this—you found this one random guy in a beanie that you've never watched before, and you thought to yourself, yeah, this guy's pretty cool. Exactly. Oh, wait, I didn't mean it like that, but you get the point, right? Especially in the modern era where

Everybody's just hooked onto their phones. The ability to make people stop and actually listen to you is very valuable, my friend. When you have the power to make people listen to you, the stuff that you want to happen is much more likely once you're able to

persuade your thinking onto others' minds, it's very viable. You can kind of start to imagine the implementations for this, right? As I said, whether that's through sales, speaking to people in general, public speaking especially, it's very viable, right? And you

don't even have to be super good at it, as long as you're able to actually express what's on your mind to other people. It's amazing. Now, I won't lie to you; while I like to believe my speaking skill is pretty good on

camera, my storytelling is not the best. Like, I won't lie to you, my average view duration kind of reflects that; it's pretty inconsistent, right? But that's not relevant; that doesn't matter, right? What matters is that as long as you keep practicing it, as long as you tell more

stories throughout your conversations, that skill will genuinely develop over time. Did I say genuinely or generally? I want to say generally. Yeah, I'm not cutting out anything from this video; I'm the most authentic guy out here. But that's pretty much it: Just master the art of storytelling

because its power is genuinely so massive that it can help you in so many different ways. But I feel like I'm repeating myself at this point. This video is not going to be that long anyway, but I just really feel like making this reminder, right? Yeah, if you

Want to talk to me directly while hanging around a community of like-minded people who all share the same interests? Plus, we do voice calls very often. You would get multiple opportunities to talk to me, whether that's on our group calls or just texting me on my Discord server.

If you join my Discord server and you don't get a welcome message from me, you have the total right to @ me in the comments. But yeah, that's pretty much it. I won't waste any more time. You can click all the videos if you want to; you can subscribe if you want to. That would mean a lot.

I don't want to plug my stuff, but if you know, you know that I'm already working on something behind the scenes, something pretty massive. I really said, if you know, you know.  Damn, mango, mango, mango! Comment the

word "mango" if you made it to this point in the video. But yeah, take care.
