058 - Rule of Three

Beginning, middle and end. Intro, main content, outro. The rule of three is a classic way to structure lots of elements of our podcast. Keep experimenting creating short podcasts between a minute to two minutes long. Just describing a tv show episode or a movie. 

Practice sharing stories with a definite beginning, middle and end. In this episode I give you an example. The point is not to be fluent but to develop fluency and an instinct to add structure to your content and show.
