How to be an interesting storyteller

Start your stories after the beginning.

If I start my story at "Once upon a time..." it'll be slightly boring.

If I start my story after the beginning, you'll be curious and there'll be a bit of mystery to what I'm saying. Curiosity and mystery is the glue that holds your attention.

Think about good movies and TV shows you've seen. I'll guarantee that that the stories start after the beginning.
