So if someone's looking for a job right now, whether they lost it or they're in a new grad in this market,

Gary, what is the number one skill that you think they should be focusing on?

Making content on LinkedIn.

Making content on LinkedIn?

How about that one?

You know why?

I'm obsessed with optionality.

What does that mean?

Let me explain.

If you lost your job and you're like debating, do I want another job similar or do I want to do something on my own?

If everyone understood what I understood, which is LinkedIn is exactly the same thing as Facebook and Instagram

except the audience perspective and mentality when they're on it is different.

If you put out content on LinkedIn whether it's about the things you think about your industry

so you're an executive assistant and

so you're making content on LinkedIn about five rules hey everyone

it's Susan I'm in between gigs

I've been doing executive assistant work for the last nine years just gonna make

this video five things every executive assistant or someone getting into it should know about the game.

Now, I want to point something out.

Notice he said, I'm in between gigs.

Most people wouldn't say that because you don't want people to know that.

And Gary is telling you, saying the thing you don't want to say is not a sign that you're a loser.

It's a sign that you're a winner and that you're secure in yourself and you're still showing up.

Mel, your embarrassment is your advantage.

What do you mean?

I mean your embarrassment is your uniqueness.

It's your nuance.

It's your snowflake.

I just don't know how people can't see this.

Your unique situation is your biggest advantage regardless if the world currently thinks it's right.

Let me give you a big one for me.

Yes.

I pounded against college for a decade in my content in the early 2000s and got completely shit on by everyone.

like he what he's talking about is

that for a decade gary was questioning 2005 7 9 11

college is a waste for a lot of people do you need to go to college

you do not need to go to college the world is changing 2007

i'm making a video saying college isn't right for

and i always was nuanced if you're creative or entrepreneurial

and your parents can't afford to pay for it I do not think you should go take $120 ,000 in debt

to have a piece of paper that I'm projecting in 20 years won't matter.

Yep.

And Mel, I got destroyed.

Well.

No, really, Mel.

It was probably the subject matter that I most got the most private and public comment heed of for a decade.

Wow.

Gary, you're saying this because you were a bad student.

You suck.

You're not smart.

You curse and you're bad at school.

You don't have intellect.

Blah, blah, blah and then miraculously 15 years later people like wait a minute

and so what i'm saying is

if it's your truth my truth was i thought a lot of kids were getting screwed by college yes

i really agree with you

but man was i on an island in 2007 i'm telling you i was in a really lonely place

and i would not stop because i believed in my soul

and you think i want to I tell the world

that I sucked at candor for 20 years and was horrible at firing,

and that there's people out there that are still mad at me because I pulled the rug from out, I'm embarrassed.

Mel, I don't think all my other success hides.

What do you do with those failures?

Adjust, own and adjust.

¿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.
