Below is a video of Ira Glass,  he is a veteran radio personality and host of This American Life on National Public Radio,  giving great advice to become a great story-teller. I think that Ira has an amazing insight.  I would recommend looking at all four of his videos on YouTube  (http://tinyurl.com/7nxdxte)   Thanks for http://vimeo.com/thedak for posting the video below.
