It's Important To Give People Something To Relate To.
In this short monologue, the speaker argues that stories often fail to connect with audiences because they lack concrete context. By introducing specific details about characters—such as a client named Rachel who struggles with sleep or a client named Jason who feels self‑conscious about weight gain—the storyteller can break the reader’s default mental shortcut of “that’s not me.” The speaker explains that providing relatable context helps the audience see the narrator as someone who understands their own experiences, thereby increasing empathy and engagement. The overall message is a practical coaching tip for writers, marketers, or anyone crafting narratives: always give the audience something they can see themselves in, because most people neglect this step.
