I was preparing to give a TED Talk and I did so at the Humid Maxed Swamp late at night when I couldn't see anything around me.

especially not the mosquitoes that were buzzing around me.

And the reason I did this was to physiologically prepare for how nervous I might actually feel when I gave the TEDx talk.

And then when I did in fact do that, there were no nerves.

It was in fact relief.

And I gave one that quickly went viral and has been stacking views ever since.

And there's my one-act story just from easy storytelling framework.

Usually it's to create a multi-sensory simulation in people's heads.

The best told stories, I'm not gonna say the best stories.

The best told stories are ones that can go from your mind into someone else's mind with minimal detail being lost.

and maximum detail being retained.

So it's sort of a knowledge transfer, right?

So if you get these five dimensions, you in effect have it.

You can imagine me in front of you rehearsing my TED Talk in a swamp, late at night,

and I can't see anything.

And there's different dimensions of that, right?

And so you can imagine the scene.

You can visualize it.

You can, with your mind's eye, you can hear aspects of it in your mind's ear.

You can feel aspects of it.
