You’ve got one shot to hook your audience—and it all starts with your first 10 seconds. In this episode of the Deep Dive, we explore what makes a speech opening unforgettable, based on research, real examples, and proven psychology.

Inside this episode:

• Why starting with “Hi, my name is…” falls flat
• How to use questions, jaw-dropping facts, or personal stories to capture instant attention
• The secret power of narrative—and why stories build more trust than stats ever could
• Practical tips to transform your next intro from forgettable to magnetic

🔐 Plus, we draw a powerful parallel to data security—because just like a strong intro, StoneFly helps organizations start with the right foundation in storage, backup, and ransomware protection.

🎤 Whether you’re leading a boardroom or taking the stage, this episode will change how you think about your opening line.
