The Dr. Pepper of Storytelling

“In the 1920s, researchers theorized that the average person needed energy intake boosts during the 10am, 2pm, and 4pm hours of a day. And what better energy is there than an ice cold refreshing bottle of Dr. Pepper? Nearly 100 year later, I’ve concluded that the average person should consume the Speak Up Storytelling podcast at the same intervals, at 10-2-4 every single day. And that’s exactly what I did for one straight week leading up to a presentation I was asked to give at a conference. I had originally intended the 30 minute presentation to emulate a college lecture, but decided to use the storytelling techniques discussed on Speak Up instead. The presentation morphed into a series of 6 short stories that had an over-arching and connected theme with a surprising ending. My delivery was smooth and I could tell the room of 200+ people was captivated throughout. My presentation received the highest survey reviews of the conference and I was asked to come back for future speaking opportunities. The personal feedback was glowing and unique for me: “You’re a natural storyteller” and “Well crafted stories!” And, all of the thanks and praise I received belongs to Matthew and Elysha Dicks. Thank you both for sharing your personal stories and talents and for taking the time to help us all hone the craft of Storytelling with your Speak Up podcast. If not for you, I’d probably be wearing my “paint-in-the-basement” clothes while drinking copious amounts of Dr. Pepper watching Seinfeld reruns and dreaming of yesteryear. So, as I lift my bottle of carbonated caramel-colored pepper-flavored sugar water, I say Cheers to Elysha and Pocket Aces to Matthew - and Godspeed to you both!”

“I first heard Matthew on the Art of Manliness podcast and since that cast, I’ve binge listened to the whole library. As a First Sergeant for the Utah Air National Guard, I get the privilege of talking with and giving council to Airman of various ranks. I’ve found that after starting Home work...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast! I’m on day 25 of Homework for Life and I’m excited to email Matt and Elysha on day 100. I listen to this podcast every morning, although there aren’t many episodes left until I’m caught up and that will be kind of sad because I’ll have to wait for more episodes. It gives me a...”Read full review »
