In today’s video, I  share my secrets for telling REAL stories that are so incredible people almost won’t believe you.
Hint #1: I have a file in my phone exclusively for funny and unbelievable events that occur.

Hint #2: I always tell someone about what just happend immediately afterward so the story is locked in my memory.

Hint #3: Always intro a story so you “hook” them early (ie. “We all know what’s done in Vegas stays in Vegas. Well this time I’m going to break that rule…”)

Leave me a comment, and let me know how you locate stories.
