Ever told a story you thought would land… but instead it flopped?

In this episode, Lord Al Jensen pulls back the curtain on the storytelling secrets that separate forgettable talks from transformative messages.

With over 7,500 stage appearances since 1974, Al shares what actually works when it comes to connecting with your audience, holding their attention, and inspiring them to take action.

This isn’t about sprinkling in a cute story.
This is about using story as a strategic tool to build trust, deliver value, and drive transformation—every time you speak.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why most storytelling advice just doesn’t work
• How to avoid the 3 most common “connection killers” in your talk
• The real reason stories stick (hint: it’s not drama, it’s meaning)
• The 3-Story Talk Structure to build your next presentation fast
• How to use simple, everyday moments to deeply move your audience
• What to do before you ever pick your story
