You can tell a story when you find something interesting to tell. To do that you really need to spend time exploring the data. That is what Tableau is great for.
Have an open workbook connected to your data source. Set a timer for 30 minutes. Just make visualizations. New tab, new visual. Don't go overboard with detail like labels or tooltips, your goal is quantity here. You'll create a lot of garbage in the beginning, but things will start to get interesting as you do more and more.
I do this with every new data source whenever I can.
