@NewelOfKnowledge what if I cause a harsh emotion make them grossed out or shock in horror. Like "I'm looking in the mirror and I see a spot of blood I dab it with toilet paper and see it's actually skin from the person I just witnessed murdered in front of my eyes." (True story)
“No baby, you can’t come over tonight. Lewis just dropped yet another banger of a video. It’s 1 long, so I’ll spend hours at the computer, taking notes and journaling”
I am struggling to tell stories well enough to captivate the audience. Usually my stories become rather boring and I can see people looking how to change topic and maybe to steal my show even if I feel that the base story itself is mindblowing. So that is why I clicked to this so long video of yours. But after 5 minutes in a sudden recognition comes: I've already read the book the video is based on. Why didn't I stop at this point? Because Lewis summarized the essentials of storytelling with his calm and confident voice under a funny moustache in a unique way I couldn't resist to watch till the end. So first I felt stupid I couldn't extract the same from the book myself, but after a while I understood much more than I could imagine. Now the question is how I can test this new learning as soon as possible? Then I realized Lewis asked us for a story in comments. I almost never write any comments, but now all the best I can is in these lines. Hoping that someone will read this through, and maybe with excitement...
5 minutes into the video and I'm hooked... You are a gift from the heavens, you've come into my life at the exact moment when I need you the most. On a more personal note, things in my life seem to be unfolding in (for lack of a better way to put it) unusually positive ways, and I am becoming more at peace. Thank you for the video and for your overall contribution, this is truly a beautiful thing 💪🏾💪🏾
I have such great ideas in my head but I am so crap in communicating them with others. After listening to this video, what I need to learn are those little things that compile a story. Thank you very much.
I found your channel a month ago and I'm blown away by your content, Lewis! I'm glad to have you by my side on this journey to becoming the best version of myself. I wish you all the best, brother.
Recently I’ve had a realisation that I’ve been a terrible story teller, that’s why I haven’t signed my first clients in my business and people I want to share my experiences & knowledge with haven’t listened until years of repeating myself etc I’m on a journey and I think this is the key I’ve been missing 💪🏻 Really appreciate this video and it’s been incredibly helpful 🤝🏻
After watching the entire video. I can say...every second was worth it. Thank You Lewis for making this absolute masterclass on storytelling. Yes...I agree that Mathew Dicks is truly a legend in storytelling...♥️♥️
Been keeping a tab of this video open since it came out, never having the time, watched the first 20 minutes (kind of on repeat to absorb it well) and it's already helping out a lot, keep up stuff like this
Love this video! And the story at the end was so good, together with the annotations and your theory beforehand it became a stellar learning opportunity ✨️ 🙌
I listened with so much hesitation everything you said only showed me by calling up memories of all of the failed stories I’ve told and jokes that weren’t laughed at😢 And now I have to force myself to endure you truth saying and dog gone delightfully encouragings . Thanks 😣
This was amazing. I’ve been watching TH-cam videos on how to write stories since 2019 when I started writing and I’ve consumed hundreds of videos since then. This is the best top 3 videos I’ve ever watched that covered and distilled all the basic concepts down into a finer point that’s easy to digest. Thank you
I've been hooked with storytelling since that timeless day in the 2nd grade of elementary school, when we had to read a unique fictional story that we wrote ourselves out loud to the rest of the class. 😳🫣 I was SO nervous. I spent DAYS on it. I stayed up all night to make sure it was PERFECT. When I reread it for the hundredth time, I still giggled every time I hit the funny parts. I became excited about the class and our teacher, Sister Rose having fun with my story too. 🥰🥳🤞🏻 I couldn't sleep so I started to dance because I was so happy, when all of a sudden my dad shouted "stop playing around and GO TO SLEEP!! It's PAST MIDNIGHT!! Don't make me come up there..." from downstairs. 😳🤐 I FREEZE and immediately tiptoe my way to my backpack to carefully put it in my folder to class tomorrow. The next morning, I could barely contain my excitement on the bus ride to school. I almost didn't mind the horribly ugly green plaid uniform I hated to wear every day because I was SO EXCITED about seeing how they'll react to my story. 🥰 My excitement made me forget how nervous I was to read out loud for the first time!! 😂 After putting my backpack on the back of my seat and grabbing my folder with my story, I quickly sat down, while protectively holding my folder to my chest. I was so excited, I could barely sit still (I had undiagnosed ADHD, which made it worse 😂). It felt like it took AN HOUR for Sister Rose to complete roll call and then she said, "Could I get a brave little volunteer? Who would like to go first?" I jumped up so quick I got stuck in the desk and dragged it with me as I tried to get out to fast. This was an OLD New England Catholic school so the desks were one-piece units made of wood and metal, with a desk lid that lifted up to hold your books. They were from the 1800s-1900s - so you could only get out from one side. I nearly tipped the desk in my excitement. 😂 I untangled myself from the chair, and stood beside it, catching my breath and laughing. The Sister stifles a giggle and asks "Would you like to go first?" and I giggled and said "yes, please". I read the story out loud and IT WAS A HIT! 🙏🏻🙌🏻🥹💖 Everyone laughed exactly where I laughed in the story when I was writing it. Sister Rose even belly laughed MANY times and we NEVER saw or heard that before. 🥹 My classmates said it like watching TV or a movie when they were listening to my story, which made me SO happy, because that was EXACTLY what I wanted. 🥰💖🙏🏻 40 years later, I FINALLY get the first chance in my life where I can create content to give people smiles, laughs, and wisdom as a "grown up"... doing something I have loved since 2nd grade, for the rest of my life, and I am SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL. 🥹💖🙏🏻🙌🏻 I can't wait to learn more and more every day so I can be better and better every day and help more and more people. 💖🙏🏻🙌🏻🥰🥹
To make a long story short, I was once in a gas station, with no gas in the car and no money in the bank, but luckily for me the attendant allowed me to put gas on the promise that I would pay it back. Now I understand that my real luck was that I did not have a McDonalds manager uniform on my back-sit.
It seems like this video didn't do as well as some of your others. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to make such a great guide. I am sure you have cracked the code to make easy videos that gets lots of views but it is for these perspectives that I follow your channel.
You nailed a VERY important point. Most of the popular (highly viewed) TH-cam videos are superficial with elementary school reasoning. There's just VERY little that the average person wants in the way of substance vs the fickle "get fixed quick" method. In fact 21 months after ChatGPT took the world by storm a vast array of the most popular videos are at least AI narrated and many of the video elements were AI assembled and organized. I love AI, but I hate, for the most part, what's being done with it. But, if I'm right about my point, it poses a massively important question: if you don't start with superficial "get fixed quick" (aka get-rich-quick) can you ever expect to build an audience large enough to attract people who want real solutions rather than temporary ones, and then teach them how to do root analysis and solve root problems? @newelofKnowledge What are your thoughts?
Immense value in this video, thank you so much. You are responsible for great positive change in many people thanks to videos like this. I can’t remember the last time I took down this much on paper from a youtube video
16:00 This part reminded me of Lewis, the funny story-teller character from the Ant-Man movies. He has his own way of captivating your attention - but of course, it is a movie. Thank you so much for improving my life, for improving our lives.
Love this. Thank you. (P.S. biopsies incoming and all good….I have worked in medicine so faced this long ago). Excellent story to end. Oh do I have stories to tell. Now I know better how to tell them. For everyone else: we each and we all only have today so what are you doing today that is good, for you and yours so if you are fortunate enough to wake up tomorrow maybe tomorrow can be a bit better, for everyone? Perfection not possible, good intentions are only a start so what good changes can you make, generally the smaller the better because change is normal, right? Think about it. Prove me wrong….or not. Merci beaucoup.
Playing hell divers 2, cyberpunk 2077 & el classico League of Legends. Thanks for talking about mental health man, very grateful, more people need to hear about it! Also Majoras mask is just as described: phenomenal but terrifying!
Excellent workshop, mate! I’ve been using some of these techniques without understanding their names or the theory. Can’t wait to rewatch this and take some notes
My dad did the stunts in Jurassic Park for the main actor! I love that you used that film as the example. We have all kinds of photos of him with dinosaurs; he brought my brother and I back cool T-Shirt's "I Survived the Hurricane in Iniki " . Thank you for this juicy, educational video
'Ambulance stories' can be very captivating as long as there is a certain resolving epiphany that acts as a bridge for the listeners to be able to relate to indirectly. Like opening their eyes in terms of their very own behavioural patterns which then may prevent them from finding themselves in a similiar situation. Or as it happened with my near death experience which was four months ago: I am standing in the rain in the middle of a german street as cars slowly pass by. Having lost track of time i have the feeling of being there for almost an hour. But your perception of time begins to crawl when you're freezing. So i gaze towards the heavily overcasted sky onto the crown of a massive willow in an impatient manner. I am observing my 8th attempt to throw a weight that is attached to a thin line into the tree. It is a neccesary step to allow me to set up my climbing rope - for the ascend. The willows trunk is above one and a half metre in diameter and at a height of 12 metres it splits like a hydra into seven full grown trees that reach up to ~38 metres of height. A stunning sight to have in front of an rather average house close to a forest. Rain drops hitting my eyes make it even harder to see where i thrown into so I decide to set up my rope blindly and then simply feel the resistance. I'm jumping into the air simultaneously with a co-worker while we both grab onto the rope - for six times. Therefore i declare the ascend to be safe enough fully aware that my life is on the line. And my gut feeling is weird. But i simply face my fears as i always do. It leads to an intense meditative state where you don't process thoughts of any kind. You are fully soaked into the present - past and future do not exist for this while. It takes only a few metres of ascending for the freezing to stop as my muscles start to produce warmth. Like a clockwork the relatively simple movements lead to me getting higher and higher until i am almost eye to eye with the end of the main trunk. There i see an active bird nest as i hear a cracking noise far above me as all tension in the rope let loose and my free fall begins. The time freezes. I close my eyes and feel like i am laying in my bed in such a comfortable way that i am very close to falling asleep. I remember it to be a known feeling - yet forgotten for decades. Almost as if i am set back to a place before my very own birth - into the womb of my mother. I hit the ground. The side walk - very close to its edge. Onto concrete. From a height of which i wouldn't dare to jump into water. Almost 12 metres. My co-worker later said it was like an apple that fell from an appletree - neither did i move nor did i make a noise while falling. My subconscious thought this to be my death sentence. Well, no. It rather hoped for me to die. After laying on the cold pavement in agony once again freezing and succesfully remaining calm despite panic inducing thoughts of never being able to walk again i end up in a helicopter. Looking outside i could only see grey. The whole flight. Just grey. Very underwhelming. So i end up in the hospital and after scans and a long wait i am told that there is no operation needed and that i have a chance of 95% to fully recover. But it will take time. A lot of time which i decided to use to find answes to the question: why did my subconscious hoped for me to die? And i found the answer... My epithany was that i maneuvered my life into a shere 'existing' state without noticing. A very functional gear in the matrix that works hard and provides for another family. The financial burden and the responsibilities left me working 6 days a week with no time or energy for myself. Friendships left to rot. Passions seemed to have dissolved. And my now ex-wife and >her< two kids weren't grateful for my sacrifices - there was always the striving for more. The fall showed me my underlying wish to die. Therefore opened my eyes. You need to stop what you are doing for once and look very carefully at your life situation. Be as painfully criticizing as you can be. You only have this one shot to take care of yourself. Otherwise you might regain true consciousness at your death bed. Only if you have energy to spare you can start to take care of others. Seek love and peace inside & not externally. Then everything else will revolve around you.
ha ha ha I almost killed myself laughing when I noticed the counter on the left, that tells us how much time we've spent with you. In case we hadn't noticed, you dragged it around at 22 minutes in. Since we're all beginning to be conscious of how much time we spend on the internet, this was very effective.
I’m walking with a friend and his dog around his neighborhood in the morning, a dear friend, but I’m struggling to find something to talk about. A few days ago I had a falling out with my dad. The situation is sad, and serious, and it’s the first time it’s ever happened so my mind is racing. I’m thinking about my dad, I’m thinking about how I need to be stronger, about how I wish I was stronger. I can’t tell if I’m regretting my decision to move out of the house and crash with my friend temporarily. All of this is happening in my head, but I can’t be an emotional burden to my friend. He’s already helping me so much. So what do I talk about? He knows what’s going on generally, but I just don’t have it in me to connect right now. So he just starts talking. Talking aimlessly while we’re walking observing the neighborhood. He talks about the new blue door on the house built in 1918 and about the empty lot that used to have an ugly house that burned down some years ago and left an ugly house-shaped footprint. I’m just thinking about my dad still and listening to him quite passively. But then we walk by a neighbor who’s outside in their yard and they shout out at him, “Hey! Is that an Austrian Shepherd?” and I know that it’s not, but to my surprise my friend responds, “It sure is!” so they talk for a minute about the dogs and the breed until we move on walking. I say to him, “You’re dog’s not an Austrian Shepherd?” he replies, “I know” and laughs, “I say that to everyone who guesses his breed.” So then I laughed, and I suddenly found myself outside of my own head and start seeing the neighborhood from his perspective. He grew up here. Everywhere I look that’s new to me must appear to him entirely different. This is his neighborhood. The houses look more alive now thinking about the people in them with their own lives and own problems. We got home from the walk and I was feeling much better, out of my head, and ready to have a normal day. Still sad and emotionally tired but ready. I thought I could take him out for dinner or try to be positive and fun the rest of the day, for him in a way. So that he could see the positive impact he made on me. I had to work and he had to go to work so we parted. But later in the day I found this video. I love storytelling and have been doing toastmasters for several months so I watched it and immediately saw the practical techniques as a way to better connect with people in general, but more specifically my friend. I thought that I could chew on the ideas for the rest of my day and think about what story I could possibly tell him both to practice my technique and to connect. I sat on the couch and watched the video, then got in my car and listened to the video again as I did errands. I rehearsed the techniques in my mind, but I struggled to think of a good story from my own life that was story-worthy. I’m worried that I’m spending all this time working on the details, but I don’t have the big picture. But when I tell a story will I remember the details if I don’t focus on them enough? I don’t know. Is it worth it or even any good really? I’m think I could tell a story if I think of something good and just don’t if I don’t. So, it’s night time and I get back to his single family three bedroom house with his two dogs barking at me from the front door and him, his sister, and her boyfriend all chatting about something in the small kitchen/ dinning room. I don’t know what to really say. I talk about the errands I just did and some funny things that happened, but that’s not really what I want to say and I know it. I’m bored by the conversation we’re all having and it feels like everyone wants to move on and start doing our own things. So that’s what happens. His sister and her boyfriend go into her room and I talk to my friend for a little while about nothing it felt until I go into my room to journal. As I journal I’m trying to think about what happened during my day that was story-worthy? Nothing really seems good and nothing from my past seems good either. But I keep thinking and I realize that I want to make him feel the gratitude that was within me for the moment we shared earlier in the day. When he made me laugh on our walk I was pulled out of my head and was able to have a good day despite the sadness in me because of what was happening with my dad. So I write for a while and get the beginning, 5-second moment, stakes, and ending all kind of sorted out. It’s messy, and I only spent about 10 minutes on it, but he’s about to get out of the shower and I want to make sure I tell him this story before he goes to bed for the night. It’s late at this point, I’m sitting on the living room couch, and I’m hoping he won’t just go to his room before checking the living room because I don’t think my story is good enough to reach out to him. I think the story’s going to come across not too great, I didn’t practice it like I would a toastmasters speech, but I know that it at least has a good message. He comes out of the shower and immediately walks into the living room. I’m an adult waiting with the nervousness of a high school student about to wing their final presentation. We joke a little for a moment, and then I open the story with action. He doesn’t know my plan, but I know the journey I’m trying to take him on and I know the ending. It’s harder to tell than I expected, the way my emotions were making me catch in my throat startled me and I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to finish. But when I got to the end I was strong enough, I got emotional and teared up, but I did it. I said that I didn’t know where my day was headed, but I know that I have a friend who will be there for me. It was vulnerability, and it was much more difficult than I expected. He said “Always, I’ll always be there for you and I know that you would be for me.”In this dark time of my life where I felt like I couldn’t emotionally share with anyone without being a burden, I felt the connection I had just made happen between us. The story itself may not be that interesting from a zoomed out perspective, but I found something to talk about and it made me connect with my friend in a way I couldn’t believe. Thank you thank you thank you. This content is changing lives.
Really excited about this content! Unfortunately have to listen in sections because there is a very distracting whilling sound in your video. Thank you for such great content!
This makes me think of Guzman in Donato Carrisi's book titled "The girl with the paper flowers". Such a wonderfully and skillfully written story. If anyone reads this comment, please, read this book. It constitutes a marvellous journey which leaves the reader forever changed.
10:40 while change is a great and for sure one of the most used narrative in stories, I believe it is not the change that makes it interesting but the conflict. What and how it changed us, the storyteller or someone else, that is the interesting part. Example: yes we see that Frodo got changed over time, we see him completely changed at the end of the movie, but is it really the change that fascinates us? Or is it his conflict of leaving his dearest friend behind for his own good, his journey of growing up and learning what it means to hold a burden in your hand… finding true friendship along the way? I always thought that the parts of Frodo and Sam are the lamest of the movie and I would skip them. After a rewatch doing that, I felt like it wasnt the same… Seeing the change means nothing when I dont see how the struggle was, I can not relate nor identify with the story then… similar example would be one of the major problem with the Star Wars franchise, it is not the quote of women that take lead roles, it is their conflict-less change that makes us not identifiable with them! A quote by me about that “stories are metaphors for life and life is lived in conflicts”! Thank you ❤ for this free and deep dive of personal as well as substantial knowledge! Thank u Lewis!
Please excuse me I unexpectedly have to stop watching a mere 1/3 into the video but I have downloaded it to watch later! No offense meant this is terrific and I’m grateful 😊
Great video third time I’ve watched it - we are going to make a video using this technique about migrating to Australia but doing it completely wrong / thanks brilliant video 🙏🏼
Holy smokes. The point of the story...is the change. Of course! Like, I knew that was the point of fictional stories that I write, why did I never consider that for stories I tell about myself!?
Hey Lewis , i found your channel totally by accident and as you said , the content resonated so perfectly , i am seeing pretty good upgrades in by communication and philosophy , great work man , thank you so much
This was a few years back when I worked as a waiter in a high end steak restaurant and we had just finished a pretty big night and with all well fought nights everyone is entitled to a free staff drink. Now back then I wasn't the most responsible human being and my mentality was always "I'd never say no to free drink!" Now at the time I was still on my restricted driving license (which is one level before your full) and the law was "no alcohol at all if you are on your restricted" So 9 times out of 10 I'd have the one beer wait a bit and then head home, but on this particular night there was a dash of delicious red wine left over from a table that didn't finish it. And I was feeling a little bit irresponsible... Now the place I was staying was no more than 5-minutes away and I had done that drive so many times I probably could have done it with my eyes closed So we finished up the night and I climbed into my very slick and very old Toyota Cynos (which is a tiny little convertible.) Now I'm by all means not tipsy, but with a beer (maybe two..) and a dash a wine down... let's just say the music was sounding a little bit better than usual. So I'm cruising home... Now the problem with having such an old car is during the cold seasons the windows get really, really foggy to the point it can be hard to see even a few meters in front. And nothing in the rear view. But me being the "confident" driver I was, and the roads being as dead quite as they were, I didn't think much about it. So I pulled onto the last street, which is about 30 seconds from my home but I noticed a pair of headlights behind me.. now I had played this game before and had seen success so I thought I'd try it again. I flicked my indicators left then right... and looked back to see if they would copy.. nothing So I did it again... left.. then right.. then left again. But this time I was greeted with flashing blue and red lights.... I've never been punched in the gut before, but I could imagine it's probably a similar feeling. So I pull over no joke seconds from my house... wound the window down and I remember thinking "Man I'm so fucked." Now I can't remember the exact conversation we had but she asked me what I was doing and I told her "It's just a stupid game I play.." But she pulled out the breathalyser... and I counted to 5 And it passed. I can't quite remember the internal monologue I was having as she told me "Just get home safe" and walked away... But I remember feeling like god had given me a second chance. I drove home and got straight into bed. I haven't' played Simon says with my indicators since.
Brother! Thank you for sharing your story! I believe you're the first one to do so. Feedback (if I may?): Positives: - Great use of the words So and But - You've showed a good 5 second moment To work on: - Remember not to include narrative in your story! (add your descriptions into your story) - Perhaps you could've told the story all in the present tense to really bring us there with you - Avoid over using the word "now" as this is what made it read like narrative Thanks for sharing sir!
Bro if you type an essay on the net, at least make it interesting. Maybe not quite this random story i.e. drinks, driving, pfaffing around with indicators, police car lights flashing just before you pulled into your house.
Don't forget about making promises of irresistible magnetism we will all gain after watching this. I wonder how the people from the photo feel about their hearts being "won" with this "masterful technique". I call bs on the gentleman.
Omg lol 4 mins in and I’m thinking this is the least engaging most hard sell pitch I’ve heard in a long time Ain’t nobody got time for this 🤭 I’m out 🏃♀️
A lot of TH-camrs still haven't realised that long intro does more harm than good to their channels. You may ask why channels that Go straight to the point do better. E.g Nero Knowledge.
isn't it better to start the story with a high drama event then go to the backstory with the date and moving action leading to that point? would love to hear your take on this
OK, I got story, I’m speaking it so the grammar and spelling may be off because I’m mumble. I was down in the lesser Antilles, on Antigua with a borrowed car and went to the casino to meet some tourist chicks. So I met fairly attractive, yellow, headed lady and after some slow dancing, I popped the question, so I’d like to spend the night with you. Just gamble, but she said yes problem. She had too much tequila but she said follow me. Yes that was a mistake, I should’ve gotten her car, but I followed in my borrowed car. To my dismay, she was doing about 90 down. The streets of St. John’s in many were one-way streets with Rastaman yelling at us. I don’t normally drive like that but she said yes, which is kind of a big deal, so we make it out of the capital into the rule area pastures and sugarcane fields and I felt pretty confident going 90 on them winding roads because you could see headlights coming. But anyway, she made a right hand turn and I didn’t see it and I went straight, I realized, I had lost her accelerated suddenly the road ended, and I was driving through a cow pasture, dodging cattle, not really what I expected. I want to make a turn and bam hit a rock, destroyed the tire so I made the decision change car now I’ll try to find the yellow lady, the yellow haired lady at her hotel room. So my executive decision was the destroy the rim and accelerate. I found her hotel room and turned in and went to the desk. She hadn’t waited for me, there was a lot of tequila and wild but when I want to ask for her room number, I realize I forgot her name and the people at the desk wouldn’t let me go any further. So dejected, I went out to the parking lot and it started raining and I changed the spare tire in the rain in the mud and back to the Air Force Base where I was staying. Sorry, no five second rule just a funny story that I often tell the lesson don’t forget the drunk, yellow head ladies’s name. And forgive the spelling as I was speaking.
Awesome awesome video, I took 3 A4 pages of notes! Loved everything about it except one thing : the moving of your head around the presentation - for me it was distracting and often covered bits I wanted to note down. Not a criticism, just feedback, love your videos Lewis!!!
I was about to go out my door for an evening walk but then I clicked on this video and couldn’t stop watching to the end It was very worth it but I feel bad because it’s dark out now But I learned a lot that I know will help me much in the days ahead, so it was worth it This morning I watched another video that taught me not be to so hard on myself but celebrate the small wins So I’m gonna get off my ass and couch and take a walk around the block anyway Wish me luck that I won’t be knocked down by a random drunk driver!

You can still make this a course. The benefit of the course would be the (monthly) 1 to many groupsessions. The (premium upsell) 1 to 1 help.
And the implementation program.
People like to know what they get into the course before buying. And they know they won't do anyting with the info without implementation program.
You could drip some awsome bonusses but you can really keep it the same mostly 🧐
Amazing video, thank you. Just wondering, did you actually keep you promise to "pin the best one?" :)
@NewelOfKnowledge what if I cause a harsh emotion make them grossed out or shock in horror. Like "I'm looking in the mirror and I see a spot of blood I dab it with toilet paper and see it's actually skin from the person I just witnessed murdered in front of my eyes." (True story)

Doing fine brothee
I read the whole thing lol. Props, I feel you’re a great storyteller
i read the whole thing. Kudos!
Got me captivated with your story, showed change, changed up the words. I’d call it a job well done
Fantastic start mate.
The story delivered in the end is HAUNTING. Definitely the best I've heard in years
I desire to captivate my audience simply by the manner in which a story is masterfully told.
I am eager to learn💗
5 minutes into the video and I'm hooked... You are a gift from the heavens, you've come into my life at the exact moment when I need you the most. On a more personal note, things in my life seem to be unfolding in (for lack of a better way to put it) unusually positive ways, and I am becoming more at peace. Thank you for the video and for your overall contribution, this is truly a beautiful thing 💪🏾💪🏾
Lewis dropping a 1hr guide is amazing
Just cleaned my entire spice cabinet listening to this. Thank you.
I have such great ideas in my head but I am so crap in communicating them with others. After listening to this video, what I need to learn are those little things that compile a story. Thank you very much.
I found your channel a month ago and I'm blown away by your content, Lewis! I'm glad to have you by my side on this journey to becoming the best version of myself. I wish you all the best, brother.
Recently I’ve had a realisation that I’ve been a terrible story teller, that’s why I haven’t signed my first clients in my business and people I want to share my experiences & knowledge with haven’t listened until years of repeating myself etc
I’m on a journey and I think this is the key I’ve been missing 💪🏻
Really appreciate this video and it’s been incredibly helpful 🤝🏻
Most helpful video I’ve ever watched on storytelling
Congrats on your recent achievements!! 🔥🙌
After watching the entire video. I can say...every second was worth it.
Thank You Lewis for making this absolute masterclass on storytelling.
Yes...I agree that Mathew Dicks is truly a legend in storytelling...♥️♥️
Been keeping a tab of this video open since it came out, never having the time, watched the first 20 minutes (kind of on repeat to absorb it well) and it's already helping out a lot, keep up stuff like this
This video deserves more views. I keep coming back more. Thx a lot mate!
As the Stoics said: "Focus on what truly matters." - Life is short. Spend your energy on what aligns with your values and purpose.
This is a gem! I'm getting into public speaking and this will help me a lot! Thank you man, I appreciate it
Definitely worth watching until the end, so much value. Thank you, Lewis. Much love to you❣️
Love this video! And the story at the end was so good, together with the annotations and your theory beforehand it became a stellar learning opportunity ✨️ 🙌
You breakdown so much value so fast that I feel guilty for not paying for it
I listened with so much hesitation everything you said only showed me by calling up memories of all of the failed stories I’ve told and jokes that weren’t laughed at😢
And now I have to force myself to endure you truth saying and dog gone delightfully encouragings .
Thanks 😣
This guide saved me a lot of time on learning. It's clear and concise. The lessons were delivered very cleanly. Loved it.
This was amazing. I’ve been watching TH-cam videos on how to write stories since 2019 when I started writing and I’ve consumed hundreds of videos since then. This is the best top 3 videos I’ve ever watched that covered and distilled all the basic concepts down into a finer point that’s easy to digest. Thank you
I've been hooked with storytelling since that timeless day in the 2nd grade of elementary school, when we had to read a unique fictional story that we wrote ourselves out loud to the rest of the class. 😳🫣
I was SO nervous. I spent DAYS on it. I stayed up all night to make sure it was PERFECT. When I reread it for the hundredth time, I still giggled every time I hit the funny parts. I became excited about the class and our teacher, Sister Rose having fun with my story too. 🥰🥳🤞🏻 I couldn't sleep so I started to dance because I was so happy, when all of a sudden my dad shouted "stop playing around and GO TO SLEEP!! It's PAST MIDNIGHT!! Don't make me come up there..." from downstairs. 😳🤐 I FREEZE and immediately tiptoe my way to my backpack to carefully put it in my folder to class tomorrow.
The next morning, I could barely contain my excitement on the bus ride to school. I almost didn't mind the horribly ugly green plaid uniform I hated to wear every day because I was SO EXCITED about seeing how they'll react to my story. 🥰 My excitement made me forget how nervous I was to read out loud for the first time!! 😂
After putting my backpack on the back of my seat and grabbing my folder with my story, I quickly sat down, while protectively holding my folder to my chest. I was so excited, I could barely sit still (I had undiagnosed ADHD, which made it worse 😂).
It felt like it took AN HOUR for Sister Rose to complete roll call and then she said, "Could I get a brave little volunteer? Who would like to go first?"
I jumped up so quick I got stuck in the desk and dragged it with me as I tried to get out to fast. This was an OLD New England Catholic school so the desks were one-piece units made of wood and metal, with a desk lid that lifted up to hold your books. They were from the 1800s-1900s - so you could only get out from one side. I nearly tipped the desk in my excitement. 😂
I untangled myself from the chair, and stood beside it, catching my breath and laughing.
The Sister stifles a giggle and asks "Would you like to go first?" and I giggled and said "yes, please".
I read the story out loud and IT WAS A HIT! 🙏🏻🙌🏻🥹💖 Everyone laughed exactly where I laughed in the story when I was writing it. Sister Rose even belly laughed MANY times and we NEVER saw or heard that before. 🥹
My classmates said it like watching TV or a movie when they were listening to my story, which made me SO happy, because that was EXACTLY what I wanted. 🥰💖🙏🏻
40 years later, I FINALLY get the first chance in my life where I can create content to give people smiles, laughs, and wisdom as a "grown up"... doing something I have loved since 2nd grade, for the rest of my life, and I am SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL. 🥹💖🙏🏻🙌🏻
I can't wait to learn more and more every day so I can be better and better every day and help more and more people. 💖🙏🏻🙌🏻🥰🥹
Hate to say it...but that was WAYYYYYY too long we lost the plot
To make a long story short, I was once in a gas station, with no gas in the car and no money in the bank, but luckily for me the attendant allowed me to put gas on the promise that I would pay it back. Now I understand that my real luck was that I did not have a McDonalds manager uniform on my back-sit.
Can't wait to watch this I've set time aside on Monday
You are my favorite youtuber, I feel like I've learned so much from you in just a week. Thank you so much!
It seems like this video didn't do as well as some of your others. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to make such a great guide. I am sure you have cracked the code to make easy videos that gets lots of views but it is for these perspectives that I follow your channel.
Thank you :)
You nailed a VERY important point. Most of the popular (highly viewed) TH-cam videos are superficial with elementary school reasoning. There's just VERY little that the average person wants in the way of substance vs the fickle "get fixed quick" method. In fact 21 months after ChatGPT took the world by storm a vast array of the most popular videos are at least AI narrated and many of the video elements were AI assembled and organized. I love AI, but I hate, for the most part, what's being done with it.
But, if I'm right about my point, it poses a massively important question:
if you don't start with superficial "get fixed quick" (aka get-rich-quick) can you ever expect to build an audience large enough to attract people who want real solutions rather than temporary ones, and then teach them how to do root analysis and solve root problems?
@newelofKnowledge What are your thoughts?
I might have adhs cand didn't interrupted your video for a long time. You're great at story telling sir
I love that I as soon as it was mention grabbed my notebook and sat ready for jet another banger of a video
So much value, thank you! 🖤
Also easy to follow along (with the slides etc.), great job! 🔥
Immense value in this video, thank you so much. You are responsible for great positive change in many people thanks to videos like this. I can’t remember the last time I took down this much on paper from a youtube video
16:00 This part reminded me of Lewis, the funny story-teller character from the Ant-Man movies. He has his own way of captivating your attention - but of course, it is a movie.
Thank you so much for improving my life, for improving our lives.
Wow, this is like free uni but 10x more useful
Love this. Thank you. (P.S. biopsies incoming and all good….I have worked in medicine so faced this long ago). Excellent story to end. Oh do I have stories to tell. Now I know better how to tell them. For everyone else: we each and we all only have today so what are you doing today that is good, for you and yours so if you are fortunate enough to wake up tomorrow maybe tomorrow can be a bit better, for everyone? Perfection not possible, good intentions are only a start so what good changes can you make, generally the smaller the better because change is normal, right? Think about it. Prove me wrong….or not. Merci beaucoup.
Playing hell divers 2, cyberpunk 2077 & el classico League of Legends. Thanks for talking about mental health man, very grateful, more people need to hear about it! Also Majoras mask is just as described: phenomenal but terrifying!
Great video. I opened it in a tab a few days ago and finally made it back. So glad I did. When is your storytelling course coming out?
It’s almost like you can read my mind with these uploads. Good stuff like always dude!
Excellent workshop, mate! I’ve been using some of these techniques without understanding their names or the theory. Can’t wait to rewatch this and take some notes
My dad did the stunts in Jurassic Park for the main actor! I love that you used that film as the example. We have all kinds of photos of him with dinosaurs; he brought my brother and I back cool T-Shirt's "I Survived the Hurricane in Iniki " . Thank you for this juicy, educational video
I love this! Just brilliant. Thank you! This is just the kind of information that I crave as a writer, director, producer. ❤
'Ambulance stories' can be very captivating as long as there is a certain resolving epiphany that acts as a bridge for the listeners to be able to relate to indirectly.
Like opening their eyes in terms of their very own behavioural patterns which then may prevent them from finding themselves in a similiar situation.
Or as it happened with my near death experience which was four months ago:
I am standing in the rain in the middle of a german street as cars slowly pass by. Having lost track of time i have the feeling of being there for almost an hour. But your perception of time begins to crawl when you're freezing. So i gaze towards the heavily overcasted sky onto the crown of a massive willow in an impatient manner. I am observing my 8th attempt to throw a weight that is attached to a thin line into the tree. It is a neccesary step to allow me to set up my climbing rope - for the ascend.
The willows trunk is above one and a half metre in diameter and at a height of 12 metres it splits like a hydra into seven full grown trees that reach up to ~38 metres of height. A stunning sight to have in front of an rather average house close to a forest.
Rain drops hitting my eyes make it even harder to see where i thrown into so I decide to set up my rope blindly and then simply feel the resistance. I'm jumping into the air simultaneously with a co-worker while we both grab onto the rope - for six times. Therefore i declare the ascend to be safe enough fully aware that my life is on the line. And my gut feeling is weird. But i simply face my fears as i always do. It leads to an intense meditative state where you don't process thoughts of any kind. You are fully soaked into the present - past and future do not exist for this while.
It takes only a few metres of ascending for the freezing to stop as my muscles start to produce warmth. Like a clockwork the relatively simple movements lead to me getting higher and higher until i am almost eye to eye with the end of the main trunk. There i see an active bird nest as i hear a cracking noise far above me as all tension in the rope let loose and my free fall begins.
The time freezes.
I close my eyes and feel like i am laying in my bed in such a comfortable way that i am very close to falling asleep. I remember it to be a known feeling - yet forgotten for decades. Almost as if i am set back to a place before my very own birth - into the womb of my mother. I hit the ground. The side walk - very close to its edge. Onto concrete. From a height of which i wouldn't dare to jump into water. Almost 12 metres.
My co-worker later said it was like an apple that fell from an appletree - neither did i move nor did i make a noise while falling. My subconscious thought this to be my death sentence.
Well, no.
It rather hoped for me to die.
After laying on the cold pavement in agony once again freezing and succesfully remaining calm despite panic inducing thoughts of never being able to walk again i end up in a helicopter. Looking outside i could only see grey. The whole flight. Just grey. Very underwhelming. So i end up in the hospital and after scans and a long wait i am told that there is no operation needed and that i have a chance of 95% to fully recover. But it will take time. A lot of time which i decided to use to find answes to the question: why did my subconscious hoped for me to die?
And i found the answer...
My epithany was that i maneuvered my life into a shere 'existing' state without noticing. A very functional gear in the matrix that works hard and provides for another family. The financial burden and the responsibilities left me working 6 days a week with no time or energy for myself. Friendships left to rot. Passions seemed to have dissolved. And my now ex-wife and >her< two kids weren't grateful for my sacrifices - there was always the striving for more.
The fall showed me my underlying wish to die. Therefore opened my eyes.
You need to stop what you are doing for once and look very carefully at your life situation. Be as painfully criticizing as you can be.
You only have this one shot to take care of yourself. Otherwise you might regain true consciousness at your death bed. Only if you have energy to spare you can start to take care of others.
Seek love and peace inside & not externally. Then everything else will revolve around you.
Man !!!
This is a masterclass I'll remember for ages.
ha ha ha I almost killed myself laughing when I noticed the counter on the left, that tells us how much time we've spent with you. In case we hadn't noticed, you dragged it around at 22 minutes in. Since we're all beginning to be conscious of how much time we spend on the internet, this was very effective.
🙏 A compelling offering on the whys and hows of storytelling!!
get in! been waiting for this one. got my notes ready
I’m walking with a friend and his dog around his neighborhood in the morning, a dear friend, but I’m struggling to find something to talk about. A few days ago I had a falling out with my dad. The situation is sad, and serious, and it’s the first time it’s ever happened so my mind is racing. I’m thinking about my dad, I’m thinking about how I need to be stronger, about how I wish I was stronger. I can’t tell if I’m regretting my decision to move out of the house and crash with my friend temporarily. All of this is happening in my head, but I can’t be an emotional burden to my friend. He’s already helping me so much. So what do I talk about? He knows what’s going on generally, but I just don’t have it in me to connect right now. So he just starts talking. Talking aimlessly while we’re walking observing the neighborhood. He talks about the new blue door on the house built in 1918 and about the empty lot that used to have an ugly house that burned down some years ago and left an ugly house-shaped footprint. I’m just thinking about my dad still and listening to him quite passively. But then we walk by a neighbor who’s outside in their yard and they shout out at him, “Hey! Is that an Austrian Shepherd?” and I know that it’s not, but to my surprise my friend responds, “It sure is!” so they talk for a minute about the dogs and the breed until we move on walking. I say to him, “You’re dog’s not an Austrian Shepherd?” he replies, “I know” and laughs, “I say that to everyone who guesses his breed.” So then I laughed, and I suddenly found myself outside of my own head and start seeing the neighborhood from his perspective. He grew up here. Everywhere I look that’s new to me must appear to him entirely different. This is his neighborhood. The houses look more alive now thinking about the people in them with their own lives and own problems. We got home from the walk and I was feeling much better, out of my head, and ready to have a normal day. Still sad and emotionally tired but ready. I thought I could take him out for dinner or try to be positive and fun the rest of the day, for him in a way. So that he could see the positive impact he made on me.
I had to work and he had to go to work so we parted. But later in the day I found this video. I love storytelling and have been doing toastmasters for several months so I watched it and immediately saw the practical techniques as a way to better connect with people in general, but more specifically my friend. I thought that I could chew on the ideas for the rest of my day and think about what story I could possibly tell him both to practice my technique and to connect. I sat on the couch and watched the video, then got in my car and listened to the video again as I did errands. I rehearsed the techniques in my mind, but I struggled to think of a good story from my own life that was story-worthy. I’m worried that I’m spending all this time working on the details, but I don’t have the big picture. But when I tell a story will I remember the details if I don’t focus on them enough? I don’t know. Is it worth it or even any good really? I’m think I could tell a story if I think of something good and just don’t if I don’t.
So, it’s night time and I get back to his single family three bedroom house with his two dogs barking at me from the front door and him, his sister, and her boyfriend all chatting about something in the small kitchen/ dinning room. I don’t know what to really say. I talk about the errands I just did and some funny things that happened, but that’s not really what I want to say and I know it. I’m bored by the conversation we’re all having and it feels like everyone wants to move on and start doing our own things. So that’s what happens. His sister and her boyfriend go into her room and I talk to my friend for a little while about nothing it felt until I go into my room to journal. As I journal I’m trying to think about what happened during my day that was story-worthy? Nothing really seems good and nothing from my past seems good either. But I keep thinking and I realize that I want to make him feel the gratitude that was within me for the moment we shared earlier in the day. When he made me laugh on our walk I was pulled out of my head and was able to have a good day despite the sadness in me because of what was happening with my dad. So I write for a while and get the beginning, 5-second moment, stakes, and ending all kind of sorted out. It’s messy, and I only spent about 10 minutes on it, but he’s about to get out of the shower and I want to make sure I tell him this story before he goes to bed for the night. It’s late at this point, I’m sitting on the living room couch, and I’m hoping he won’t just go to his room before checking the living room because I don’t think my story is good enough to reach out to him. I think the story’s going to come across not too great, I didn’t practice it like I would a toastmasters speech, but I know that it at least has a good message. He comes out of the shower and immediately walks into the living room. I’m an adult waiting with the nervousness of a high school student about to wing their final presentation. We joke a little for a moment, and then I open the story with action. He doesn’t know my plan, but I know the journey I’m trying to take him on and I know the ending. It’s harder to tell than I expected, the way my emotions were making me catch in my throat startled me and I wasn’t sure if I was strong enough to finish. But when I got to the end I was strong enough, I got emotional and teared up, but I did it. I said that I didn’t know where my day was headed, but I know that I have a friend who will be there for me. It was vulnerability, and it was much more difficult than I expected. He said “Always, I’ll always be there for you and I know that you would be for me.”In this dark time of my life where I felt like I couldn’t emotionally share with anyone without being a burden, I felt the connection I had just made happen between us. The story itself may not be that interesting from a zoomed out perspective, but I found something to talk about and it made me connect with my friend in a way I couldn’t believe. Thank you thank you thank you. This content is changing lives.
Wow it all ended well you made a positive impact
And now I want to hear the story you shared with your friend......
Im from Pl and your ,, Dzień dobry,, is good❤
Man, it's crazy how many men Hamza has inspired
Dang. This was actually quite good.
Really excited about this content! Unfortunately have to listen in sections because there is a very distracting whilling sound in your video. Thank you for such great content!
Apologies for that mate! It was my first video like this I recorded. Noted for next time.
This makes me think of Guzman in Donato Carrisi's book titled "The girl with the paper flowers". Such a wonderfully and skillfully written story. If anyone reads this comment, please, read this book. It constitutes a marvellous journey which leaves the reader forever changed.
10:40 while change is a great and for sure one of the most used narrative in stories, I believe it is not the change that makes it interesting but the conflict. What and how it changed us, the storyteller or someone else, that is the interesting part. Example: yes we see that Frodo got changed over time, we see him completely changed at the end of the movie, but is it really the change that fascinates us? Or is it his conflict of leaving his dearest friend behind for his own good, his journey of growing up and learning what it means to hold a burden in your hand… finding true friendship along the way? I always thought that the parts of Frodo and Sam are the lamest of the movie and I would skip them. After a rewatch doing that, I felt like it wasnt the same… Seeing the change means nothing when I dont see how the struggle was, I can not relate nor identify with the story then… similar example would be one of the major problem with the Star Wars franchise, it is not the quote of women that take lead roles, it is their conflict-less change that makes us not identifiable with them! A quote by me about that “stories are metaphors for life and life is lived in conflicts”!
Thank you ❤ for this free and deep dive of personal as well as substantial knowledge! Thank u Lewis!
Hey man, you made my morning. I'm moving to Krakow in 2 weeks. Keep up the strong work 💪
Order in Polish! You are super brave, brilliant ❤
I loved the camo bomb about the charity at 21:00 after I heard it again as a double camo bomb at the end story
I'm really appreciating your content man, keep it up
It was really worth it, thanks !!!!
Please excuse me
I unexpectedly have to stop watching a mere 1/3 into the video but I have downloaded it to watch later!
No offense meant this is terrific and I’m grateful 😊
great, great GREAT video.
You’re the truth man, thank you for this 🙏🏼
This was so good. Learned so much good stuff. Will have to check out your other videos!
How to tell great stories: 1. Be risky 2. Do illegal stuff 3. Tell people about it many years later
33:16 Thank you for the break that doesn't feel like we're being given a break. BDE
great stuff got lots of value out of this!
Great video third time I’ve watched it - we are going to make a video using this technique about migrating to Australia but doing it completely wrong / thanks brilliant video 🙏🏼
Holy smokes. The point of the story...is the change. Of course! Like, I knew that was the point of fictional stories that I write, why did I never consider that for stories I tell about myself!?
Yeahhhh Lewis!!
Thank you, Lewis! 💜💜💜🙏🏾
Fantastic video, you won me over a new subscriber
Thanks for sharing, great info
Hey Lewis , i found your channel totally by accident and as you said , the content resonated so perfectly , i am seeing pretty good upgrades in by communication and philosophy , great work man , thank you so much
Great to hear :) and thanks for sharing this! Keep up the good work.
This was a few years back when I worked as a waiter in a high end steak restaurant and we had just finished a pretty big night and with all well fought nights everyone is entitled to a free staff drink.
Now back then I wasn't the most responsible human being and my mentality was always "I'd never say no to free drink!"
Now at the time I was still on my restricted driving license (which is one level before your full) and the law was "no alcohol at all if you are on your restricted"
So 9 times out of 10 I'd have the one beer wait a bit and then head home, but on this particular night there was a dash of delicious red wine left over from a table that didn't finish it. And I was feeling a little bit irresponsible...
Now the place I was staying was no more than 5-minutes away and I had done that drive so many times I probably could have done it with my eyes closed
So we finished up the night and I climbed into my very slick and very old Toyota Cynos (which is a tiny little convertible.)
Now I'm by all means not tipsy, but with a beer (maybe two..) and a dash a wine down... let's just say the music was sounding a little bit better than usual.
So I'm cruising home...
Now the problem with having such an old car is during the cold seasons the windows get really, really foggy to the point it can be hard to see even a few meters in front.
And nothing in the rear view. But me being the "confident" driver I was, and the roads being as dead quite as they were, I didn't think much about it.
So I pulled onto the last street, which is about 30 seconds from my home but I noticed a pair of headlights behind me.. now I had played this game before and had seen success so I thought I'd try it again.
I flicked my indicators left then right... and looked back to see if they would copy.. nothing
So I did it again... left.. then right.. then left again.
But this time I was greeted with flashing blue and red lights....
I've never been punched in the gut before, but I could imagine it's probably a similar feeling.
So I pull over no joke seconds from my house... wound the window down and I remember thinking "Man I'm so fucked."
Now I can't remember the exact conversation we had but she asked me what I was doing and I told her "It's just a stupid game I play.."
But she pulled out the breathalyser... and I counted to 5
And it passed.
I can't quite remember the internal monologue I was having as she told me "Just get home safe" and walked away...
But I remember feeling like god had given me a second chance.
I drove home and got straight into bed.
I haven't' played Simon says with my indicators since.
Brother! Thank you for sharing your story! I believe you're the first one to do so.
Feedback (if I may?):
Positives:
- Great use of the words So and But
- You've showed a good 5 second moment
To work on:
- Remember not to include narrative in your story! (add your descriptions into your story)
- Perhaps you could've told the story all in the present tense to really bring us there with you
- Avoid over using the word "now" as this is what made it read like narrative
Thanks for sharing sir!
marvellous!
@@NewelOfKnowledge Thanks for the tips man!!
Bro if you type an essay on the net, at least make it interesting. Maybe not quite this random story i.e. drinks, driving, pfaffing around with indicators, police car lights flashing just before you pulled into your house.
I 👍d it. Where's yours?
in 60 years time, people would look back on these videos like we look back on bob ross paintings
Dude, you’re a good TH-camr.
wow great video Lew , wrote down so many great things ! thank you
This was incredible! Thank you!
You are amazing at explaining things! I hope to be as good as you someday :)
Absolutely amazing
Não sou cristão, mas ouvi até o final e entendo que o BTC faz sentido pro dogma. Excelente vídeo.
Lewis Dropped Yet Another Banger Video
Thank you very much for your work !
I would not be Polish if I didn't do it. Poland metionet 🇵🇱💅🦅
Am I the only one who at 5 min feels like all I've heard is how he's amazing and that we need to do storytelling?
Don't forget about making promises of irresistible magnetism we will all gain after watching this. I wonder how the people from the photo feel about their hearts being "won" with this "masterful technique". I call bs on the gentleman.
Omg lol
4 mins in and I’m thinking this is the least engaging most hard sell pitch I’ve heard in a long time
Ain’t nobody got time for this 🤭
I’m out 🏃♀️
First one. Also thanks for the vid.
Great video and value thank you so much
A lot of TH-camrs still haven't realised that long intro does more harm than good to their channels. You may ask why channels that Go straight to the point do better. E.g Nero Knowledge.
Beautiful!
this is such a great video thank you
Cheers, your new 👁️👂🏽
25:45 wait-wait-wait i don't remember that being the plot of jurrassic park!!!
I am so excited, love u bro
isn't it better to start the story with a high drama event then go to the backstory with the date and moving action leading to that point? would love to hear your take on this
“I’m a TH-camr with a bald head and a bookshelf.” Laughed out loud 😂
I LOVE YOU 😭😭😭
OK, I got story, I’m speaking it so the grammar and spelling may be off because I’m mumble. I was down in the lesser Antilles, on Antigua with a borrowed car and went to the casino to meet some tourist chicks. So I met fairly attractive, yellow, headed lady and after some slow dancing, I popped the question, so I’d like to spend the night with you. Just gamble, but she said yes problem. She had too much tequila but she said follow me. Yes that was a mistake, I should’ve gotten her car, but I followed in my borrowed car. To my dismay, she was doing about 90 down. The streets of St. John’s in many were one-way streets with Rastaman yelling at us. I don’t normally drive like that but she said yes, which is kind of a big deal, so we make it out of the capital into the rule area pastures and sugarcane fields and I felt pretty confident going 90 on them winding roads because you could see headlights coming. But anyway, she made a right hand turn and I didn’t see it and I went straight, I realized, I had lost her accelerated suddenly the road ended, and I was driving through a cow pasture, dodging cattle, not really what I expected. I want to make a turn and bam hit a rock, destroyed the tire so I made the decision change car now I’ll try to find the yellow lady, the yellow haired lady at her hotel room. So my executive decision was the destroy the rim and accelerate. I found her hotel room and turned in and went to the desk. She hadn’t waited for me, there was a lot of tequila and wild but when I want to ask for her room number, I realize I forgot her name and the people at the desk wouldn’t let me go any further. So dejected, I went out to the parking lot and it started raining and I changed the spare tire in the rain in the mud and back to the Air Force Base where I was staying. Sorry, no five second rule just a funny story that I often tell the lesson don’t forget the drunk, yellow head ladies’s name. And forgive the spelling as I was speaking.
Wow speaking into the phone really garbled a lot of words
Awesome awesome video, I took 3 A4 pages of notes! Loved everything about it except one thing : the moving of your head around the presentation - for me it was distracting and often covered bits I wanted to note down. Not a criticism, just feedback, love your videos Lewis!!!
Thanks for the feedback, it was my first guide so my bad!
@@NewelOfKnowledge all good, it was really awesome anway :)
I was about to go out my door for an evening walk but then I clicked on this video and couldn’t stop watching to the end
It was very worth it but I feel bad because it’s dark out now
But I learned a lot that I know will help me much in the days ahead, so it was worth it
This morning I watched another video that taught me not be to so hard on myself but celebrate the small wins
So I’m gonna get off my ass and couch and take a walk around the block anyway
Wish me luck that I won’t be knocked down by a random drunk driver!
This is great!
What a great video, ty
