A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube interview between Mick Hunt and Ruth Milligan about storytelling and public speaking. Milligan emphasizes that "everyone has a voice" and the importance of feedback and self-review; Hunt offers aphorisms about pairing stories with points and listening as part of speaking craft. The excerpt is introductory and advice-focused.

Ruth Milligan, what's your. Because what keeps you doing what you do?
I really, truly believe that everyone has a voice and everyone has a story. That might sound trite, but it is true.
Never tell a story without a point and never make a point without a story.
Love that.
And if you can master that, oh, you'll speak forever. And you'll be hired forever. But because so many people, when they go on stage, it's words.
Speaking requires feedback.
Yes.
And your own.
Yes.
Or the bookmark that we had made said you think speaking public speaking is hard. Imagine trying to watch yourself on a recording. That's harder.
Listen to the listening.
Yes.
And he says that's where speakers go wrong. Because you've got this point that you want to make. Right. And maybe in your mind, what if.
You'Re making that point and we can see each other?
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
In every situation when you're speaking, there's something you do that's a little annoying. Could be a filler word. Might talk on too long, talk too fast, not read the room. I. I call that a shaded habit.
