Public Speaking Tips Using the Hollywood Formula for Telling Stories

[@StoryGreenlight]

Great hanging out with you, Alex! And to your audience - Alex has some very cool stories of his own. If you want to hear more of those, definitely check out the video description for the link to the interview we did on the Story Greenlight podcast.

[@Christopher_Bachm]

Impressive... Practical, clear and concise...

[@eva-mariacoughlin9456]

Yesterday I was ask by our minister to share about the mission work I am involved with in Burma. He gave me an idea of what he wants me to share....I got so many stories!! Interestingly I saw this today, and thank God for helping me to ( try) keeping the stories short and still make the point how God moves. Thank you so much, Alex

[@StoryGreenlight]

Love it!

[@IPoopOnYouEveryLastOneOfYou]

Condense stories: cut details and shorten, even if it already seems "short enough". Can get surprisingly better and simply work.

[@StoryGreenlight]

It's actually kind of spooky how it works. It takes a lot more work to ramble than to be concise.

[@cominghomewithsusanne]

When we hear someone's story, we care about them. That's so good! Great interview!

[@Christopher_Bachm]

Hollywood's version of the hero's journey... Fundamental technique for story telling... Makes sense. The cooking example is universally relevant... I love it too!

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm glad the video hit the spot, Christopher.

[@Christopher_Bachm]

@@alexanderlyon I'm glad to know that you are in the leadership business... You make me wish I was young. Keep it going!

As a Chinese student studying English, it's great to see this!

[@jamestnov41945]

Wonderful guest thank you.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, James. Jeff is solid gold.

[@StoryGreenlight]

Thanks James! Hope the ideas are helpful for ya.

[@toniaego1968]

I'm getting better by the day. Thank you so much.

[@Christopher_Bachm]

This is truly impressive... I heard somewhere that there are no great writers, only great editors - seems to apply... Godspeed!

[@StoryGreenlight]

And the good news is, great content is in reach of all of us. 😊

[@Christopher_Bachm]

@Charles Duffy You can't but it only becomes great through dedication to editing. It's a saying...

[@EJ_Lion]

I’m going to have to purchase that edit better book. Thank you both, for the valuable content. 🙏🏻

Sweet! Hope the ideas are helpful for you!

Great job Jeff and Alex!

Thanks Sunny!

Desire, obstacles and change, these three, but the greatest of these is change.

[@StoryGreenlight]

Ha! Nice! And the thing is, I think Paul would agree - see Romans 12:2 and Ephesians 4:13. Change is the entire point.

[@siwardwoudstra1751]

@@StoryGreenlight Yeah! Funny isn't it? How a (Hollywood) storytelling formula can reveal something central about the Bible and faith! God can sometimes be found in the places you are least likely to search for him.

[@yahwehsfirstfruitscremedel6816]

The key feature in any good movie is when someone who has a great drive and determination to accomplish a great feat but is lacking knowledge, until he meets up with a wiser one who is able to offer him the insights and fortunately the opportunity presents itself in a mysterious way. When Destiny is reached, purpose is fulfilled and we all celebrate with the one who changed our perspective of how good Trump's evil with the mindset of selflessness.

In stories talk about how characters feel and or how they feel about the change/transformation.

This is HUGE.

Hi Alex, I would really like your take on the Lex Fridman interview with the Pfizer CEO. I think it's very interesting and having watched many of your videos makes me think I have spotted quite a few telling signs😅 Stay blessed, stay healthy🙏🏾

[@jaschalowfitz2040]

Help us out Alex!

[@mrius123]

Thanks for the informative vid Alex! I would love you to do analysis video about Dr. Fauci as you have done with Mr. Gates. Keep up!

[@cynthusinfinite]

Do elizabeth holmes. There's a docu interview where even her uni prof questions the octave drop in Holmes voice. Like she's channeling a whole new entity. Would love love to hear your analysis.

[@alexanderlyon]

I've been following that case. I'll likely do something on it when the dust settles a bit from the court case. Fascinating stuff.

[@cynthusinfinite]

This I cannot wait for! 👍👍

[@Reevesy791]

Can you do an analysis of the Alec Baldwin interview?

[@ff-ti7nj]

it's a shame your wonderful content doesn't have the same amount of popularity that channels who've mastered click bait and superficial contexts, have.

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks the for the support. I'm truly feeling pretty good about it all. We're growing and I'm very grateful. The channel is reaching lots of people and the whole experience has certainly changed my life for the better.

[@ff-ti7nj]

Ideas: December 7th Speech Kennedy's Second inaugural speech Kennedy's space speech

[@RONIN2025]

Speaking of Hollywood please do a video on Alec Baldwin please. Luv Det🏭🇺🇸

[@alexanderlyon]

I decided not to do that one. It's an interesting situation. No doubt. I just don't think I would enjoy making that video given the sad nature of the incident. Plus, there have been a whole bunch of reactions from various types of channels that have already looked at it. Good suggestion, though.

[@knuttlaarsen7218]

Don't know how I bumped onto this. Anyway Damn good clip 🥇. I also watched those rather similar from mStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys make these clips. MStar Tutorials also had amazing info about similiar things on his channel.

[@StoryGreenlight]

Sweet! Hope the ideas are helpful for you.

[@cynthusinfinite]

David Wilcock wrote about story telling formula for film making. It's carved in stone. Now it's tedious to watch movies especially new film. Nothing new.

[@alexanderlyon]

It changes the way I view and enjoy movies, too. But, I'm glad I know the essential recipe because now I can tell better stories on my end.

[@cynthusinfinite]

Yes yes!

[@StoryGreenlight]

A lot of people feel the same way you do, Cindy, especially about modern movies - the movie studios need to make as much money as possible, so they stick to the formulas that work. But stories have been around far longer than movies have - great stories are still as important as ever. 😊

[@cynthusinfinite]

Maybe more important now than ever. Here's to more great stories to come! 😀

[@donshields2379]

The part about knowing the character is spot on. Recently in NCAA cross-country championships Division I Cooper Teare crawled to the finish line. He already had a social media following. His number of folders increased after knowing more about him. People want to know.

[@user_abcxyzz]

Disagree. I could care less their story and a lot of people would agree that their story doesn't reply matter. We all have a story but lets be real we are not all gonna listen and care about each and every persons story that's impractical

[@StoryGreenlight]

@@user_abcxyzz I'd agree it's not practical to latch on to every single story of every single person - nobody has that kind of bandwidth. But absolutely everyone will have certain stories of certain people that they do care about. The trick is to know your audience, know who they care about, then speak to that.

[@melodeelines8575]

Every new video that comes along you have the appearance of someone i would not care about what you are saying. You have credible content but you are looking like a big city goon out of hunger games. Monty

[@alexanderlyon]

Can you give me more details? Do you mean my clothing, glasses, face, hair, etc.? I'd prefer not to be called a goon but I'm curious as to what you're picking up on. So, be polite but detailed. I'm serious. I'd like to hear your honest opinion.
