Most people are forgettable.
And they don’t even realize it. On the surface, this doesn’t seem like a big problem. As you get older, though, it becomes catastrophic.
I experienced it firsthand. I tried to climb the corporate ladder by keeping my past secret. I didn’t tell anyone about the $50M a year eCommerce business I used to run with my brother. Or my extreme battle with mental illness.
I felt embarrassed. I thought people would judge me.
Then I reached a point in my life where I’d finally had enough. I was sick of asking for permission, waiting for promotions, begging for opportunities, working for free to get mentorship, and always being broke and only having $50 left after payday.
One silly little experience changed my mind.
I went to a Toastmasters event – it’s where amateurs practice public speaking. I went because every time I had to give a talk, I nearly pooed my pants (no joke). But the first time I went I didn’t talk. I was too scared. I just watched.
A guy named Bharat gave a short 7-minute speech that blew me away.
I had goosebumps. I felt inspired. I felt like I could do anything.
After the speech I spoke with him. It turned out he had migrated to Australia and didn’t speak English well. He had a strong Indian accent and experienced a lot of racism. He grew up in a poor family too.
But that speech he gave made him stand out. And his cultural differences were instantly forgotten.
I found out he was off to the world championships of public speaking. On the side he had a business coaching high performers to give powerful speeches. Fast-forward to today, and Bharat is a titan of the tech world.
He earns insane amounts of money. Gets invited into rooms most people could only dream of. And spends his day deciding which inbound opportunities he will accept.
Bharat’s secret: basic storytelling.
Once I saw what he did, I couldn’t unsee it. I became obsessed with storytelling and practiced it every day. It’s how I joined the top 0.01% in my field just like Bharat.
It’s the hidden secret of high performers. And it’ll take you to a place in life that you’ve been trying to reach for decades.
Here’s how to articulate your story, so you can do the same.
> “A good storyteller with a decent idea will always have more influence than someone with a great idea who hopes the facts will speak for themselves.” – Morgan Housel
# Your stories will get ignored if you don’t do this
I’ve personally taught storytelling to 6000+ people. I see one mistake repeatedly.
Most stories are boring. They are cookie-cutter. They feel like “Once upon a time” type stories which put people to sleep. I used to do the same. Then I learned a strategy that fixes the problem.
Every great story has a surprise.
If there’s no surprise it’s just facts, a report, or a journal entry. So… to articulate your story well, you must start with something interesting. If you start with this, it’s easier to tell stories.
Another option is to start with something weird. For example, I used to work in a strip club. That’s weird. That detail alone is a great place to start a story. It instantly and ethically gets attention. Or another example: I ended up dating one of my co-workers and we joined a cult together and fell in love.
Everyone has interesting or weird parts of their life.
The trouble is most people hide them, so they leave them out of their life story. And nobody’s curiosity is piqued so they end up getting ignored.
# The hero's journey makes you sound like a douchebag
The insufferable personal branding folks talk about articulating your story too.
They tell you to create a hero’s journey of your life as if you’re Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movie. This advice seems smart when you first hear it, but it’s dumb if you think about it from the audience’s perspective.
Telling a story about how you were in a dark place and became a hero makes you sound like a giant douchebag. It ends up just stinking of ego from 50,000 miles away. And people tune you out because you sound like another self-promoting knobhead with a $17 course to sell at the end of the TED Talk. No thanks.
Where the hero’s journey framework goes wrong is it focuses too much on you and all your successes. But success highlight reels are boring. They hide the truth. The opposite is even worse: highlighting all your failures like you’re Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness, living in a public toilet with your 5 year old kid.
Too much success = bad Too much failure p*rn = bad
The real goal of articulating your story is to be honest, humble, authentic, and most importantly, to tell the f*cking truth. This is simple but not easy to do.
I find if you focus on being a storyteller and sharing the raw, unfiltered truth, you’re most likely to tell an engaging story that doesn't turn you into a caricature of yourself
# What you can learn from the most powerful sentence ever used in a story
Arguably the most famous sentence in storytelling history is one from Hemingway:
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
Those 6 words tell more of a story than the entire database of Amazon fiction books written in the last 100 years. It’s proof that less is more.
When I first read those 6 words, I felt a wave of emotion. I had a newborn baby at the time. I imagined her in those words. I thought to myself, “What if my little girl didn’t make it?” That’s what sharing emotion does.
I’ve had over 1B views on my stories. And this is the hidden technique I’ve used to hit that milestone.
The stories that move people to action contain emotion.
If people don’t feel anything, your story means nothing. The way to extract the emotion out of a story is to start with “How did this event, person, or thing make me feel?” Here’s an example…
In 2001 I was in high school here in Australia. I came to school one day and found out two planes had hit the World Trade Center.
My good friend Abdullah was locked in a classroom with the other Muslim students for the rest of the week. It was feared the non-Muslim students would retaliate and either punch, or even stab Abdullah with a knife.
To the adults, locking him away seemed like the logical choice.
I was 15 at the time. I didn’t understand the madness. All I knew was I wanted to play soccer with my friend Abdullah and now I couldn’t. It made me sad. At the same time, several of my American family friends lost loved ones in the attacks.
It was the first time in my life I felt grief for two things at once: for the people my family friends had lost, and for my friend being treated like a suspect. I truthfully didn't know how to hold both.
4 weeks ago, I bumped into Abdullah at the shopping centre. 25 years had passed, but I instantly felt the same thing I'd felt that day in 2001. It was the first thought that entered my mind.
Then I noticed a pram behind Abdullah's wife. Inside was his newborn baby. Abdullah looked joyous. I thought to myself, “Perhaps it all worked out in the end.”
But it doesn’t end there…
2 weeks ago a client sent me a text. “Sorry Timbo, I gotta bail man.” I asked him why. He said his PTSD had taken over.
He did a tour of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq after the 2001 attacks. What he’s seen still haunts him. He has dark thoughts. The pain he feels will last a lifetime. He can never be free of it, and that’s the ultimate price he paid.
Weirdly, he said he wouldn’t change anything. He’d do it all again. I got goosebumps reading that message. Some people are so damn selfless, it’s hard to comprehend.
What you just read is raw emotion. Perhaps it made you feel something. And that’s what your storytelling should do.
Recounting emotion creates emotion.
# Write your stories down first for this little unknown reason
Articulating your story starts with writing.
Why? Because writing is thinking. Writing your story down forces your brain to think deeply about the events and characters. And it’s how you join the dots of your story to your main point or overarching takeaway.
Stories that aren’t written down first are a jumbled mess.
As you write the stories down, the goal is to write like you talk. No filters. Lots of spelling errors. Dialogue. Slang. Say “mate” if you’re Aussie like me. SMS language. Acronyms like BTW and LOL. This is personality. It’s authenticity.
Once you write your story down it needs an edit with 3 goals in mind:
1. Say less using fewer words
2. Make the story simpler
3. Use 5th grader language
The best stories aren’t the smartest. They’re the stories people actually can understand.
# Become a maniac by using non-linear timelines
Telling stories makes you a curator.
The goal isn’t to tell the whole story. The goal is to inspire, entertain, persuade, or teach the reader something. You also want to save the reader time, so it doesn’t take your 20-hour memoir book on Amazon (that no one reads) to tell the story. Non-linear timelines are how you do this.
Chronological timelines are boring as f*ck. They’re predictable.
You can salsa dance around the timeline of your story if you want. You can delete entire decades too. Non-linear timelines create unpredictability. And that makes the audience curious. It gives them dopamine too.
# Don’t give a f*ck about opinions
Thinking about what people will think of your story is holding you back.
Haters make you think about hate. They don’t make you articulate a story that helps people. What you focus on becomes a reality. I find it’s better to write a story as an email draft in Gmail and picture myself sending it to a close friend.
Not only should you block out what people will think of your story, but you should go the opposite direction and intend to piss a few people off.
Pandering to people or trying to not offend anyone leads to intellectual poverty.
Good stories challenge people. They make people think. They spark comments. They move people. They present new ideas. They bring back old ideas that got cancelled, and allow for new debate.
What people think of your story is none of your business.
# Never wait for story inspiration
A blank page is a knife up your butthole that makes you bleed all over the floor.
Document all your stories in advance. Build a library. I have a section in my note-taking app of every story from my life. I add to it daily. The weird part is the last 3 years of my storytelling library is mostly full of stuff about my two daughters. Ohhhhh….. how times have changed.
The best storytellers are observers.
When you make it a habit to note down your stories you tap into this cheat code. Because when a story happens, you’ll forget it in a few days. And even if you don’t forget it, you’ll forget the tiny details.
And the tiny details of a story are what make it stand out. What you were wearing, where you were, the smell of the air, the feelings, the background characters, the weird objects on the table.
The tiny details make a story come to life. They make it real. They smash any hater who dares say 'that didn't happen' right in the face."
# Have a feeling before creating feelings
If you haven’t already got the gist of it, emotion is the #1 goal of a good story. Without it, you have lifeless text and a bunch of empty paragraphs no one will care about. You’ll sound as interesting and as human as a Wikipedia entry from 20 years ago.
One way to create feelings is to first have feelings.
Practically, that means reading an essay or watching a YouTube video that makes you feel something before you get ready to write down or tell your story on stage. I did this just now. I re-read an essay about a man who tries to use AI to save his dying wife of cancer and loses the battle.
It gets me every single time. Especially when he mentions his kids with no mother.
Only after a feeling like that would I dare use stories to create feelings for others. This technique is a superpower. Emotion is a contagious virus worse than the 2020 bat flu.
When you feel something it infects everyone else too. Use it and you’ll have people talking about your stories for decades into the future (and even after you’re dead).
# Why most storytelling advice is bullsh*t (including mine)
Wait, what? This is what the storytelling gurus in their white fur coats skip over.
Ready?
Everyone wants to be a somebody, but nobody wants to be the butt-naked person in the middle of the desert with no water, no friends, and wondering if they’ll make it out alive to see their newborn baby.
That’s where stories come from though.
You first have to live the story, which is why so few people have stories to tell. They’re not living. They’re just existing. I got good at storytelling not by reading books or watching storytelling videos on YouTube from famous writers. No. I learned storytelling by having real stories to tell.
I took big risks. Did fake job interviews. Worked in a strip club. Tried to be a famous DJ. Changed jobs every 1-2 years. Went through many romantic breakups. Had $1.2M stolen from my wallet. Started many failed startups. Quit my job. Got fired. Told my boss to F off. Got attacked by 1000s of trolls on LinkedIn, and made it into the LinkedIn Lunatics hall of fame (a place where strangers ridicule you to get likes).
The best storytelling comes from living first, then observing what happened. If you don’t actually put anything out into the world, there’s no story to tell the world.
That’s the detail the gurus skip over. Now you know.
# What this all means for you
I always thought storytelling was for broke, romantic writers.
Now I realize that mastering storytelling is how you stop selling, and start subconsciously persuading people to do things you want them to do. This superpower can be used for good or evil. Obviously, I recommend you use it for good like I do.
When you master storytelling, you have opportunities come to you instead of having to ask permission for them. This alone is worth the time it takes to master the skill. And in a world of AI, storytelling is how you stand out. It’s no longer a nice-to-have.
It’s a survival skill.
So…
Articulate your story like the top 0.01% by starting with an interesting idea, adding emotion, and wrapping it in your life experience. You become unf*ckwithable and powerful when you do. That’s the cheat code to life you probably didn’t know.

大多数人是容易被遗忘的。
而他们自己甚至没有意识到这一点。表面上，这似乎不是什么大问题。但随着年龄增长，它会变得极具毁灭性。
我亲身经历过。我曾试图通过隐瞒自己的过去来攀登公司阶梯。我没有告诉任何人，我曾和兄弟一起经营一家年收入5000万美元的电商公司。也没有提过我曾经与精神疾病进行过的极端斗争。
我感到羞耻。我以为人们会评判我。
后来，我的人生终于到了忍无可忍的地步。我厌倦了请求许可、等待晋升、乞求机会、为了获得导师指点而免费打工，厌倦了总是身无分文、发薪日后只剩下50美元。
一件微不足道的小事改变了我的想法。
我去参加了一个国际演讲会（Toastmasters）活动——那是业余人士练习公开演讲的地方。我之所以去，是因为每次要发表演讲时，我几乎都会吓得屁滚尿流（不夸张）。但第一次去的时候我没有发言。我太害怕了。我只是看着。
一个叫巴拉特（Bharat）的人做了一场短短7分钟的演讲，把我彻底震撼了。
我起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。我感到备受鼓舞。我觉得自己什么都能做到。
演讲结束后我和他聊了聊。原来他是移民到澳大利亚的，英语说得不好。他有浓重的印度口音，经历过很多种族歧视。他也是在一个贫穷的家庭长大的。
但那场演讲让他脱颖而出。他的文化差异瞬间被人遗忘。
我得知他即将参加世界公共演讲锦标赛。与此同时，他还经营着一家企业，指导高绩效人士进行有力的演讲。快进到今天，巴拉特已经是科技界的巨擘。
他赚着惊人的财富。被邀请进入大多数人只能梦想的房间。每天的工作就是决定接受哪些主动找上门的机会。
巴拉特的秘密：基础的讲故事技巧。
一旦我看到他做的事，就再也无法视而不见。我开始痴迷于讲故事，每天练习。正是这样，我才像巴拉特一样跻身本领域最顶尖的0.01%。
这是高绩效者隐藏的秘密。它会带你抵达你几十年以来一直试图达到的人生高度。
下面教你如何讲好你的故事，让你也能做到。
> “一个讲好故事的普通人，永远比一个有绝妙想法却指望事实自己说话的人更有影响力。”——摩根·豪泽尔
# 如果你做不到这一点，你的故事就会被忽视
我个人已经教过6000多人讲故事。我看到一个错误反复出现。
大多数故事都很无聊。它们千篇一律。它们感觉像“很久很久以前”那种让人昏昏欲睡的故事。我以前也犯同样的毛病。后来我学会了一个解决这个问题的策略。
每一个伟大的故事都有一个惊喜。
如果没有惊喜，那就只是事实、报告或日记。所以……要把你的故事讲好，你必须从有趣的东西开始。从这里开始，讲故事就更容易了。
另一个选择是从奇怪的东西开始。比如，我曾在脱衣舞俱乐部工作过。这就很奇怪。光这个细节就足以成为一个故事的绝佳开头。它能立刻、而且合乎道德地吸引注意力。再举一个例子：我曾经和一位同事约会，后来我们一起加入了一个邪教并坠入爱河。
每个人的生活中都有有趣或奇怪的部分。
问题是大多数人把它们藏起来，所以不会把它们放进自己的人生故事里。于是没有任何人的好奇心被激发，他们最终就被忽视了。
# 英雄之旅会让你听起来像个自恋狂
那些令人难以忍受的个人品牌大师们也在讲如何讲述你的故事。
他们让你把自己的人生塑造成一场英雄之旅，仿佛你是《星球大战》电影里的卢克·天行者。这个建议乍一听很聪明，但从受众的角度想一想，它就蠢透了。
讲述一个你如何身处低谷然后成为英雄的故事，会让你听起来像个彻头彻尾的自恋狂。它最终会在五万英里外就散发着自我的臭气。人们会对你充耳不闻，因为你听起来就像又一个自我推销的蠢货，在TED演讲结束时还要推销一门17美元的课程。免了吧。
英雄之旅框架出错的地方在于，它太关注你自己和你所有的成功。但成功的高光集锦很无聊。它们掩盖了真相。反过来更糟糕：像《当幸福来敲门》里带着5岁孩子住在公厕里的威尔·史密斯那样，把所有的失败都拿出来展示。
太多成功 = 不好；太多失败色情片 = 不好
讲好你的人生故事的真正目标，是做到诚实、谦逊、真实，最重要的是，说出那该死的真相。这很简单，但做起来不容易。
我发现，如果你专注于做一个讲故事的人，分享原始的、未经修饰的真相，你最有可能讲出一个引人入胜的故事，而不会把自己变成一个漫画化的形象。
# 你可以从史上最有力量的一句话中学到什么
可以说，讲故事史上最著名的一句话来自海明威：
“出售：婴儿鞋，全新未穿。”
这6个字所讲述的故事，比过去100年亚马逊数据库里所有虚构类图书加起来还要多。这证明了少即是多。
我第一次读到这6个字时，感到一阵情感涌上心头。当时我刚刚有了一个新生儿。我在这些字句中想象着她。我心想：“如果我的小女儿没能挺过来会怎样？”这就是分享情感的力量。
我的故事已经获得了超过10亿次浏览。这就是我用来达到这个里程碑的隐藏技巧。
能促使人们行动的故事都包含情感。
如果人们感受不到任何东西，你的故事就毫无意义。从故事中提炼情感的方法，是先问自己：“这件事、这个人或这个东西让我有什么感受？”举个例子……
2001年，我在澳大利亚上高中。有一天我到学校，得知两架飞机撞上了世贸中心。
我的好朋友阿卜杜拉和其他穆斯林学生一起被锁在教室里，锁了整整一周。人们担心非穆斯林学生会报复，殴打阿卜杜拉，甚至用刀捅他。
对成年人来说，把他锁起来似乎是合乎逻辑的选择。
我当时15岁。我不理解这种疯狂。我只知道我想和好朋友阿卜杜拉踢足球，现在却不行了。这让我难过。与此同时，我有几个美国的朋友家人在袭击中失去了亲人。
那是我人生中第一次同时为两件事感到悲伤：为朋友家人所失去的人，也为我的朋友被当成嫌疑人对待。说实话，我不知道该如何同时承受这两者。
4周前，我在购物中心遇到了阿卜杜拉。25年过去了，但我立刻感受到了2001年那天的情绪。这是进入我脑海的第一个念头。
然后我注意到阿卜杜拉妻子身后有一辆婴儿车。里面是他的新生儿。阿卜杜拉看起来无比幸福。我心想：“也许一切最终都有了好的结局。”
但故事并没有到此结束……
2周前，一位客户给我发来一条短信：“抱歉蒂姆博，我得退出。”我问他为什么。他说他的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）发作了。
2001年袭击之后，他曾在阿富汗和伊拉克服役。他所见的一切至今仍然折磨着他。他有不祥的念头。他所承受的痛苦将持续一生。他永远无法摆脱它，这就是他付出的终极代价。
奇怪的是，他说他不会改变任何事。如果再来一次，他还会那么做。读那条信息时我起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。有些人无私到令人难以理解的程度。
你刚才读到的就是原始的情感。也许它让你有了某种感受。而这正是你的讲故事应该达到的效果。
讲述情感会创造情感。
# 出于这个小众的原因，先把你的故事写下来
讲好你的故事从写作开始。
为什么？因为写作就是思考。把你的故事写下来，会迫使你的大脑深入思考事件和人物。这也是你把故事与你的核心观点或主旨联系起来。
没有先写下来的故事是一团乱麻。
写故事的时候，目标是像说话一样写作。不加过滤。大量拼写错误。对话。俚语。如果你和我一样是澳大利亚人，就说“老兄”。用短信语言。用BTW和LOL这样的缩写。这就是个性。这就是真实。
写完故事之后，需要带着3个目标进行编辑：
1. 用更少的字说更少的话
2. 让故事更简单
3. 使用五年级学生的语言
最好的故事不是最聪明的。它们是人们真正能听懂的故事。
# 用非线性时间线变成一个“狂人”
讲故事会让你成为一个策展人。
目标不是讲述整个故事。目标是启发、娱乐、说服读者，或者教会读者一些东西。你还要为读者节省时间，所以不必用你在亚马逊上那本20小时的长篇回忆录（没人会读）来讲述故事。非线性时间线就是你做到这一点的方法。
按时间顺序的时间线无聊得要命。它们毫无悬念。
你可以在故事的时间线上跳来跳去，想怎么跳就怎么跳。你甚至可以删掉整整几十年。非线性时间线创造出不可预测性。这让受众产生好奇。它也给他们带来多巴胺。
# 别他妈在乎别人的看法
担心人们会怎么看你的故事，正在阻碍你。
黑子让你想着仇恨。他们不会让你讲出帮助他人的故事。你专注于什么，什么就会成为现实。我发现，比较好的方法是在Gmail里把故事写成一封邮件草稿，想象自己是发给一位亲密朋友的。
你不仅应该屏蔽别人对你故事的看法，还应该反其道而行之，故意让一些人恼火。
迎合他人或试图不得罪任何人，会导致思想的贫瘠。
好故事挑战人们。它们让人们思考。它们激发评论。它们打动人。它们呈现新想法。它们把那些曾被封杀的旧观念重新带回，并引发新的辩论。
别人怎么看你的故事，与你无关。
# 永远不要等灵感来了再讲故事
一张空白的纸就像一把插在你屁股里的刀，让你血流满地。
提前记录你所有的故事。建立一个故事库。我在笔记应用里有一个专门的板块，记录我人生中的每一个故事。我每天都会往里加。奇怪的是，过去3年我的故事库里装的大多都是关于我两个女儿的东西。哦哦哦……时代真是变了。
最会讲故事的人都是观察者。
当你养成记录故事的习惯时，你就解锁了这个作弊码。因为当一个故事发生时，你几天后就会忘记。即使没忘记，你也会忘记那些微小的细节。
而一个故事的微小细节正是让它脱颖而出的关键。你当时穿什么、你在哪里、空气的气味、感受、背景中的人物、桌子上的奇怪物品。
微小的细节让故事栩栩如生。它们让故事变得真实。它们把任何胆敢说“这不可能发生过”的黑子一拳打在脸上。
# 在创造情感之前，先要有情感
如果你还没领会要点，情感是好故事的第一目标。没有它，你拥有的就是毫无生气的文字和一大堆没人会在意的空洞段落。你会像一篇20年前的维基百科词条一样乏味、毫无人的温度。
创造感受的一种方法是，先让自己有感受。
具体来说，就是在你准备写下你的故事或在舞台上讲述之前，先读一篇或看一个让你产生感受的文章或YouTube视频。我刚才就是这么做的。我重读了一篇文章，讲的是一个男人试图用AI来拯救他癌症濒死的妻子，最终却失败了。
它每次都能打动我。尤其是当他提到他那些没有妈妈的孩子时。
只有在产生这样的情感之后，我才会敢于用故事去为他人的情感赋能。这个技巧是一种超能力。情感是一种比2020年蝙蝠流感更厉害的传染病毒。
当你有了感受，它也会感染其他人。用好它，人们会在未来几十年里谈论你的故事（甚至在你死后依然如此）。
# 为什么大多数讲故事的建议都是狗屎（包括我的）
等等，什么？这就是那些穿着白色裘皮大衣的讲故事大师们略过不谈的东西。
准备好了吗？
每个人都想成为大人物，但没人愿意成为沙漠中央那个赤身裸体、没有水、没有朋友、不知道自己能否活着出去见到新生孩子的人。
然而，故事正是来源于此。
你必须先经历故事，这就是为什么很少有人有故事可讲。他们没有真正地生活。他们只是在生存。我讲故事的功力，不是靠读书或看YouTube上著名作家的讲故事视频练出来的。不。我是通过拥有真实的故事可讲才学会讲故事的。
我冒过巨大的风险。参加过假面试。在脱衣舞俱乐部打过工。试图成为著名DJ。每1-2年换一次工作。经历过多次失恋分手。被偷过120万美元。创办过许多失败的创业公司。辞过职。被炒过鱿鱼。叫老板滚蛋。在领英上被成千上万的喷子攻击，还入选了“领英疯子名人堂”（一个陌生人为点赞而嘲笑你的地方）。
最好的讲故事来自先去生活，然后观察发生了什么。如果你没有真正向世界付出过什么，就没有故事可以讲给世界听。
这就是大师们略过的细节。现在你知道了。
# 这一切对你意味着什么
我一直以为讲故事是给落魄的浪漫派作家准备的。
现在我明白了，掌握讲故事，就是让你不再推销，而是开始潜移默化地促使人们去做你想让他们做的事。这种超能力可用于善，也可用于恶。显然，我建议你像我一样把它用于善。
当你掌握了讲故事，机会会主动找上你，而不必去乞求许可。仅这一点就值得你花时间掌握这门技能。而在一个AI的世界里，讲故事正是你脱颖而出的方式。它不再是锦上添花。
它是一项生存技能。
所以……
像最顶尖的0.01%那样讲好你的故事：从一个有趣的想法开始，加入情感，并把它包裹在你的人生经历之中。当你做到时，你会变得不可撼动且强大。这就是你可能还不知道的人生作弊码。
