Storytelling Is Joke-Telling

Storytelling is joke-telling. It’s knowing your punchline, your ending. Knowing that everything you’re saying from the first sentence to the last is leading to a singular goal.

  1. Hi Rolando,
    Listening to you today has inspired me to return to things I used to do.

    A few years ago when I was still teaching high school students, their first task was to read a quote and reflect upon it. I turned around and used their reflections as their exit tickets.

    Today, I was reminded why I did it, and I’m ready to do it again. Listening to you today made me want to research more, and I thank you for the inspirational lift.
