That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
It is his guest speaking not himJoe Rogan speaking on the lives of normal people is like normal people speaking on the life of Joe Rogan, both parties have short sighted insights into what they are talking about.
I listen to JRE all the time he's constantly commenting on the lives of normal people, I mean he's a comedian, I get it, but I feel the guy is much more of an out of touch millionaire than comedian at this point.It is his guest speaking not him
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
1. His guest did the speakingI listen to JRE all the time he's constantly commenting on the lives of normal people, I mean he's a comedian, I get it, but I feel the guy is much more of an out of touch millionaire than comedian at this point.
Just don't tell him that
That's cool but I was talking about in general, notice how I used the term "All the time" I used that term to describe listening outside of what you posted1. His guest did the speaking
2. The story was quite good. It is basically what Buddha did. Actually it describes our lives.
Ok fair enough.That's cool but I was talking about in general, notice how I used the term "All the time" I used that term to describe listening outside of what you posted
To bring it back to your other post, what made Buddha special to begin with was that he came from privilege and saw poverty, Joe openly speaks about coming from a sense of poverty, but Joe has literally been a millionaire since Fear Factor, if he was similar to Buddha he could of retired on that money because he'd be living the life of a normal person, clearly based on his work ethic he either is just not a normal person or has a lifestyle that requires a large amount of money and like you said guy seems fairly normal.Ok fair enough.
Even on that one I would say he is not that special. He is loved because he is quite basic.
What makes Buddha and Joe normal is that it is the story that most people face. That is at least the theory in the vid. It is that our emotions want to explore the world and then try to come back to reason. It is the archetype of strory telling according to the Richie guy.To bring it back to your other post, what made Buddha special to begin with was that he came from privilege and saw poverty, Joe openly speaks about coming from a sense of poverty, but Joe has literally been a millionaire since Fear Factor, if he was similar to Buddha he could of retired on that money because he'd be living the life of a normal person, clearly based on his work ethic he either is just not a normal person or has a lifestyle that requires a large amount of money and like you said guy seems fairly normal.
I think many people side with Joe right now because left wing media is portraying him as a right wing extremist supporter, I view him as more of a centrist at times but he used to play heavily into leftist narratives until critical thought was introduced on his podcast.
People watched him in the beginning because there was an air of shock jockery but watch episode 1 and watch recent episodes I mean he's not the same person, I find his show entertaining purely for his guests, anything he has said has almost unquestionably been said before, it almost bothers me when a guest is grilled for interrupting him outside of the great interrupter
