Shadowing Practice: Rich vs Wealthy - Learn English Speaking with Video

excuse me sir sir how did you get rich i'm not rich i'm not rich buddy i'm wealthy you're wealthy

so what's the difference between rich

and wealthy well rich is having enough money for her

and her brother

and me to do pretty nice things wealthy is having enough money for her great grandkids do pretty nice things

so how old were you when you became a millionaire 29.

now i go all over the world interviewing millionaires

and billionaires to help the younger generation can i get a

minute with you fresh in it real quick yes how much

are you worth today can i take a guess you can more than 20 million?

Yes.

More than 30 million?

Yes.

More than 50?

Get in the ballpark.

How did you make your millions?

Started in the insurance industry, man.

I quit my job as a W -2 employee working for someone else

and I started doing the exact same job but did it for myself and made myself rich instead of other people.

In your opinion, what keeps people broke in today's world?

Middle class people trying to pretend they're rich is the absolute death sentence, man.

And you see it in middle America all the time.

And it often comes from the lies they were told in the W -2 corporate america landscape they got

that big job title they're 35 years old well now they

have two kids they bought their wife a mercedes they think they should have a second home

because they're going to airbnb it out on the side

and their kids and travel hockey

and all this other stuff they're keeping up with the joneses

dude how much you make bro 225 last year okay cool how much are you saving of

that you're not you're going negative you're losing 30 grand each

year you're spending more than you're making dude trying to keep up with your neighbors

and your neighbors are in the same dame sam position is you be worried about

that guy that's in

that eight hundred thousand dollar house that's worth ten million somebody wants to take

that leap they want to leave that nine to five what's

that first actionable step that they should take start looking at your job today as paid training

so many businesses fail what is the stat like over 90 percent of businesses fail it's

because people enter industries that they're not familiar with you got some accountant

that thinks he could run a bar

because he's been a customer at a bar before someone wants to open a bowling alley why

because they like bowling like people do stupid stuff like

that all the damn time if you look at your job in the industry

that you're in look around what could you do better?

How much time is wasted in that office each day?

How much corporate minutia is there and how many inefficiencies are there?

Could you offer the same service that your employer is currently offering and doing it in a more efficient way?

Start wrapping your head around that and once you have that solution, quit and go do it.

What is the best advice you ever got throughout your career?

If you're walking through a field and there's a pile of dog shit there

and you happen to step in the pile of dog shit, well, that's okay.

You're just some dude that stepped in a pile of dog shit.

It's all right.

But on your way back home, walking through that same field, you step in that same pile of dog shit, you're a freaking moron, man.

You got to learn from your mistakes.

You've got amazing advice, my friend.

Thanks, brother.

Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate you.

¿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.
