Shadowing Practice: How I Built A $100M Podcast - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
We've been in New York filming the podcast all week.
2
We've been indoors.
3
And then Spotify sent me these amazing pictures.
4
And I was like, oh, I'm in New York.
5
I might as well go see them.
6
But look at the weather.
7
Okay, we've got to go that side because it's up there.
8
Oh, here we go.
9
Here we go.
10
Spotify in the rain.
11
We did it.
12
Yes.
13
Seven years ago, I had a crazy idea to start a podcast.
14
Our first guest on the show is the number one person in my life.
15
Spotify has an estimated 4 .7 million podcasts.
16
Where now you have to invest in camera equipment.
17
We didn't have the budget for a talk show.
18
We didn't have a budget for the best lighting.
19
I was told by everyone that it wouldn't work.
20
And what I had was a bedroom that I could turn into a studio and then turn back into a bedroom.
21
I put everything I had at that point into the podcast, not knowing where it would go or what it would be.
22
Jay Shetty.
23
Jay Shetty.
24
Jay Shetty.
25
For three years, he traveled across India, Europe, and England living as a monk.
26
You've had great people on the podcast.
27
You had Kobe Bryant and Michelle Obama and Oprah.
28
At most viewed, you had $365 million.
29
His show is relaunching on Spotify.
30
For $100 million.
31
$100 million.
32
$100 million.
33
I'm about to share with you the three months build up to the launch on Netflix and Spotify.
34
These three months are crazy, and I'm about to take you on the journey with me.
35
this is a really exciting moment for on purpose this partnership with netflix
36
and spotify is a first of its kind it's crazy it's
37
crazy it's crazy yeah helena don't look into the lens it's
38
docu -style it's not it's not the office i remember going around town
39
and pitching this show idea saying
40
that it would be incredible to have people talk about mental health mindfulness and and everyone was just like, gay, no one really cares about that.
41
Like, there's no real market for that.
42
I was like, it doesn't matter if there's a market for that.
43
There's a mission for it.
44
And now when I look back at that, I'm like, I'm so glad I did it.
45
Yeah.
46
Oh yes, it's for me, perfect.
47
We started a shoot schedule, five days a month, two interviews a day.
48
For those five days, I get to just focus on being an interviewer.
49
As always, she might have to do it.
50
My granddaughter this morning said to me, I know you've never gone to a therapist, but this is gonna be your first therapy session.
51
So my team has created a document which has research, timeline about the guest.
52
I spend a lot of time listening to as many of their interviews as I possibly can
53
because I want to make sure that I'm asking them questions that they haven't been asked before.
54
What's the number one mistake we make in communication?
55
What's the one communication?
56
Which communication skill has the highest return on investment?
57
During the interview, I'm listening for notes specifically for the trailer.
58
The best little bites from the interview, but not like giving it all away
59
so you're leaving the audience wanting more hey how are you nice to meet you there's three types of guests
60
that we have on purpose a expert a celebrity
61
and then our third type of guest that we have is a cultural person
62
and we've really understood them as three different archetypes it's all
63
about practical questions i want all of you to get the best insights out of them
64
that are going to be practical that you can apply immediately
65
and so our questions focus less on their personal story
66
and our questions focus more on actionable insight
67
that you can implement into your life today so
68
when i'm on the road i usually arrive to the studio an hour in advance
69
and this is our new york studio so
70
if you saw our episode with millie barbie brown
71
which was our first episode on netflix this is where it
72
was shot how are you oh who's this hi hey kai how are you oh my Oh my gosh, thank you for bringing Kai.
73
It's nice to meet, it's such a pleasure.
74
We're with me.
75
We should definitely do a height shot.
76
Look what it is.
77
This time again, you know?
78
Come on up.
79
That's so funny, I love that.
80
What was a moment back then that you started to think it was going to be successful?
81
The show had been filming for around nine months.
82
It was doing good.
83
Then we got a call from Kobe Bryant's team.
84
They loved the show and they wanted him to have an interview where he wasn't talking about basketball, where he could actually talk about life.
85
The team of one of the biggest athletes in the world had reached out to us for exactly what our mission was, to give people like him an opportunity to teach his wisdom,
86
lessons, and insights that they said he couldn't do anywhere else.
87
I shared a room with Jay many years ago.
88
We were both broke and had just a lot of ambition, and we're just trying our luck out in LA.
89
With all his success and everything, he's still the great person he was back then except I
90
saw him drink coffee yesterday oh you drinking coffee yeah man I'm
91
so exhausted I'm so tired Wow Jesus I hope it works I'm so tired
92
crazy he's changed man you're such a he loves the camera
93
hello paul loves he loves the camera this picture was a
94
picture taken by paul in the hotel room we were sharing
95
and i was pitching my podcast idea to a company
96
that turned it down but i think it worked out
97
so the today show gave me my first ever interview
98
that i did on national tv and on
99
that day we actually announced the podcast
100
and one of the most prominent advocates for a positive headspace online this guy right here g shetty
101
so it's a full circle moment going back to the today
102
show seven years later to talk about the podcast now going to spotify
103
and netflix hopefully we bump into my good friend tom holland
104
with your podcast i listen to it every single morning katie nice to meet you yeah I'm like, hey, what's up, dude?
105
How you doing?
106
What's the problem?
107
Five, four, three, two.
108
On Purpose podcast.
109
And there's big news on that front coming up in a few minutes, Jay.
110
Great to see you, my man.
111
I love our colors.
112
We're in the mental health warrior color code of whatever this is.
113
And I just personally wanted to say thank you for all the light
114
and conversation that you've brought to the forefront for people all over the world who, like me, one of the 30 million Americans who suffered in silence with a mental health illness
115
and you have broken that stigma and normalized that conversation on a level that we needed so bad.
116
So thank you so much for that.
117
It's such a surreal moment to be going back
118
and being partnered up with Spotify and Netflix and seeing Spotify video go live, seeing Netflix video go live.
119
It's pretty insane. So surreal.
120
This week, we're in Cannes.
121
I'm here with Spotify.
122
We're doing meetings with CMOs, CEOs, marketing directors, executives.
123
I'll be doing a couple of panels, so I'll be live on stage with Kiki Palmer, who I love.
124
Hey, Kiki, I'm good to see you.
125
I know, this is too much.
126
It's like a Kiki phrase.
127
Mmm, huh?
128
This one has a little sweetness to it.
129
I don't know why my flirty always goes 9 to the 30th.
130
Are you serious about Sean Evans?
131
Oh!
132
I love this.
133
First of all, I love Sean Evans.
134
I love Sean.
135
Hey, Sean.
136
That's my guy.
137
That was dope.
138
That was so good.
139
This is the best feeling in the world.
140
You get to hear real stories, real people, real journeys.
141
get to look in people's eyes, hug people, hold people's hands, shake their hand.
142
I mean, this is what you do it for.
143
So, I'm blessed, I'm grateful, I'm very lucky.
144
Whenever anyone says to me, Jay, you changed my life, I always like to remind them, no, you did that.
145
Like, I did not change your life, I do not have that power, you do.
146
Getting to remind people of the power that they have within themselves is easily my favorite thing.
147
Random one question.
148
Go for it, yeah.
149
I've always wanted to make, like, videos about, like, physics and, like, spirituality and stuff together.
150
Just like that.
151
Just start, man.
152
What did you start with? with videos, forming videos on Facebook and YouTube.
153
I'm so glad it's like 10 years ago.
154
You're gonna regret it if you don't start now.
155
When I started my podcast seven years ago, they said it was too saturated.
156
You can either listen to the market or you can listen to your intuition and your talent and your skill.
157
And I think the most successful people are the ones who ignore what the noise is saying
158
and find a way even when it seems impossible.
159
Now you have built On Purpose into one of the most streamed podcasts in the world.
160
What do you think people are actually looking for
161
when they press play on content for me we're so focused how people feel when they listen to us
162
and we've really built because so many people are feeling lonely
163
and disconnected i think it's one of the reasons why everyone's listening more
164
because we used to keep the phone to our ear
165
and feel really heard and now you're on facetime but you're cooking
166
and then you're talking to someone and you're out with your dog
167
and you're kind of not there whereas
168
when you're listening to someone it almost felt like you were
169
so much more present and so i feel people turn to our podcast to feel seen, to feel heard, to feel understood.
170
And we're completely obsessed with helping people feel that way.
171
Thank you so much, everyone, for joining us.
172
It's been a lovely session.
173
We appreciate it.
174
But it's been a good week.
175
Yeah, great meetings.
176
Can you actually just pass me the bioptimizers?
177
The white tub.
178
Yeah.
179
Yeah, that's it.
180
That's it.
181
This is literally the thing that's got me through these crazy schedules.
182
So it's magnesium, but it's called magnesium breakthrough it's incredible for better recovery so especially
183
when i'm in different time zones i'm traveling across the world
184
you know sleep schedules all over the place i first started taking it a year ago
185
when i was on tour
186
and then since then it's become a part of my you
187
know daily schedule watch how i make a mess now i'm gonna have to like clean there we go
188
but yeah no i take this because
189
when i'm on the move it helps me rest better helps me sleep better
190
so we We have a meeting in five minutes.
191
All right, let's do it.
192
Yeah, yeah, let's go a bit earlier.
193
Yeah, let's go a bit earlier.
194
Cool.
195
All right, thanks.
196
Let me clean this up.
197
We're kind of matching.
198
Are we on?
199
So I picked these up, so I was going to do just the red shoes, but then I was like, the jacket's fine.
200
No, it's good.
201
I like it.
202
Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
203
We'll try it.
204
I know, I know, I know.
205
I was like, you guys definitely came up with the dress code.
206
So this is ruler.
207
Ruler has been in my life for seven, eight years.
208
Ruler's been with me the longest out of anyone on my team.
209
And so Ruler runs with Blair.
210
So you can meet Blair.
211
Blair and I met, what, four years ago?
212
And so Ruler and Blair are co -partners, co -owners with me in our agency, House of 1212.
213
So any partnership, any brand we work with, all goes through Ruler and Blair.
214
And where are you guys based out of?
215
LA.
216
Do you guys live in LA?
217
Oh, I'm surprised I've never seen you yet.
218
I know.
219
Well, we never come to the house.
220
I don't get invited.
221
Yeah.
222
No, what are you doing with that?
223
You're going to learn a lot about Jay, traveling with him.
224
That's great.
225
What have you learned so far, Ryan?
226
That's the coolest thing.
227
I've learned that your life's pretty crazy.
228
You wanted to go away.
229
No, I don't like this.
230
This is how it was it was.
231
No, it wasn't.
232
No, it wasn't.
233
It was not.
234
It was definitely not.
235
You ruined it.
236
You have camera everywhere.
237
I'm body facing this way.
238
Yep.
239
I'm going to be over here, and you're looking back at me that way.
240
Yeah, like this coming in and this coming out is the best.
241
Yeah, correct, correct, correct, correct.
242
Correct.
243
Yeah.
244
Correct. Did you hear that?
245
This is the one time you've been writing in your life, so...
246
Wait, Jay, just go back to the Netflix billboard.
247
Yeah.
248
I don't know if I agree with what you're saying.
249
It's a Netflix billboard, so Netflix is saying it.
250
So it's like, Jay Shetty, can we cry on your podcast?
251
I just thought text to Jay Shetty feels like language people read.
252
So we would say what?
253
Text to Jay Shetty, please can I come cry on your podcast?
254
I get it.
255
Brian, do you get it?
256
Yeah.
257
Yeah, I think the comment would help the comma instead of colon
258
makes it seem like you're the one yeah yeah that's exactly
259
but we don't think it should read text to jay shetty
260
no i think it's like over complicated like i think it needs to like be smart
261
and just like that personally i used to believe
262
that self -promotion was somewhat arrogant egotistic and maybe a bit uncomfortable
263
and that's the fascinating thing about self -promotion is
264
that worrying about how you're perceived is more egotistic than putting something out there and being okay, being cringe.
265
And so constantly worrying about how you're seen
266
and not thinking about the impact of your work is more self -centered than putting out great work and shouting about it, if that makes sense.
267
We're filming a interview magazine feature and I'm having a great time because the crew is fun.
268
We're having a good laugh.
269
I'll hold you.
270
That's terrible.
271
Great.
272
That's good.
273
Not my color.
274
Not my color. Did I break?
275
Yeah, I'll pay for it.
276
I broke something, I'll pay for it.
277
Do you know what's the funniest thing?
278
You know the lady near the mirror?
279
I walked out and she looked at me and she goes, not your color.
280
And then walked like, oh, it's amazing.
281
What are you wearing?
282
This.
283
Oh, no. It was so funny.
284
I was like, wow, the attitude is so good.
285
Suzanne, what about this?
286
Is this my color?
287
Much better.
288
Yeah?
289
The reason I'm sharing all of this with you is because I believe that you want to bet on yourself, but you're feeling really anxious and nervous about getting started
290
and i can empathize with that i felt exactly the same way
291
and i'm hoping that me sharing my story is going to help you start your journey
292
i'm
293
so happy you all could do it in this i know
294
anything for you guess where this was i was just a
295
plum village oh no way yeah oh my gosh i wanted to visit the monks and the nuns Wow, that's incredible.
296
They were so kind, they put in air conditioning for me, and they were telling me.
297
I remember when I first moved to LA, everyone drives down Sunset, you see all these crazy billboards, and it's pretty surreal.
298
This is awesome, I'm so grateful.
299
Thank you, Netflix, for being an amazing partner, but yeah, this is pretty insane.
300
I'm most grateful that I get to do what I love every day, and it allows me to take care of myself, build teams,
301
hopefully take care of other people's dreams and visions and goals
302
that they want to live up to in their life
303
and I always say that to someone when they joins my company
304
which is hey I want to make your dreams come true
305
so let's make them come true here I get to do
306
what I love with people I love people I care about and yeah there's nothing better than that

El escenario: De una idea en el dormitorio a un podcast de $100 millones
En el video, se narra la historia de cómo un emprendimiento humilde en un dormitorio se transformó en un podcast exitoso con inversiones millonarias. La conversación mezcla anécdotas personales, detalles técnicos (como equipos de cámara o presupuestos) y reflexiones sobre la misión detrás del proyecto. Es un ejemplo real de cómo el inglés se usa en contextos profesionales, emocionales y creativos, ideal para aprender inglés con videos que combinan contenido interesante y práctica lingüística.
Trozos útiles y colocaciones para memorizar
- Put everything I had into: Expresión para decir que invertiste todos tus recursos en algo. Ejemplo: "I put everything I had into the podcast".
- There's a mission for it: Frase para defender una idea con propósito, más allá del mercado. Ejemplo: "It doesn't matter if there's a market—there's a mission for it".
- Focus on being: Centrarse en asumir un rol. Ejemplo: "I get to focus on being an interviewer".
- Pitching this show idea: Presentar una propuesta de programa. Ejemplo: "I was pitching this show idea about mental health".
- First of its kind: Único en su tipo. Ejemplo: "This partnership is a first of its kind".
Tu reto de shadowing: Repite la emoción de la narración
El shadow speech es una técnica poderosa para mejorar la pronunciación y la fluidez. Para este reto, elige un fragmento del video donde el narrador habla de su "crazy idea" o de los momentos difíciles (como cuando le dijeron que no funcionaría). Reproduce el audio, deténlo y repite cada frase al mismo tiempo que escuchas, imitando la entonación y el ritmo. Usa un sitio de shadowing si necesitas herramientas para controlar la velocidad. Practica durante 5 minutos diarios: notarás cómo las frases se vuelven más naturales. ¿Listo para convertirte en un "shadow speaker" experto?
Recuerda: el shadowspeak no es solo repetir, sino sentir la emoción detrás de las palabras, como cuando el narrador dice "I'm so glad I did it". ¡Éxito en tu práctica!
Gramática en este vídeo
Las estructuras que más usa el hablante, con las palabras exactas del vídeo:
| Estructura | En el vídeo |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un hábito o estado pasado que ya no es cierto | used to keep · used to believe |
| Present perfect have/has + participio pasado — una acción pasada que sigue importando ahora | We've been · you've never gone · has created |
| Voz pasiva be + participio pasado — importa lo que ocurre, no quién lo hace | was told · been asked · was shot |
| Oraciones de relativo who / which + oración — información extra sobre una persona o cosa | document which has · ones who ignore |
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
