Chloë Salmon· Host0:00

Hey, it's Chloë Salmon from The Moth. As a story director, I talk to a lot of people who say they wanna tell a story but don't know where to start. A tip I give them, get specific. What's a moment that meant something to you? Your first home run, that road trip with your dad, the time you bombed at the talent show. Start there, then build on that foundation.
