1
Up until then, I was just doing a show and I was happy to have the job and I was excited about, I was still excited about the work,
2
but something shifted for me and I just wanted to use the show and not be used by the show.
3
I wanted to use the show as a force for good.
4
And so in that intention,
5
I told the producers, do not even bring me ideas unless I'm aligned with whatever your intention is
6
so that we all sync up and
7
so regardless of what the subject is we're all really saying the same thing
8
that we're using this story or this person's life
9
or whatever is happening in this experience as a as a force for good the golden circle
10
that you introduced uh in start with the why applies now
11
as it applied 16 years ago as it will apply 16
12
years from now can you explain the the golden circle for the 10 people who haven't heard it.
13
Very simply, every single one of us knows what we do.
14
It's the jobs we have, it's the things we do, right?
15
I'm a doctor, I'm a consultant, I'm a barista, like this is what I do.
16
Yeah.
17
Some people know how they do it.
18
These are the things that we think make us stand out
19
or make us better than somebody else who also does what we do.
20
But very, very few people can clearly articulate why they do what they do, that deep -seated purpose -causer belief.
21
And what I discovered is that the best leaders, everybody from Martin Luther King to Steve Jobs, every single one of them thinks,
22
acts, and communicates the exact same way, and it's the complete opposite to most other people, and every single one of them starts with why.
23
So if you say, what do you do?
24
They don't say, oh, I'm a speaker, I'm an author, I am a talk show host.
25
They say, I wake up every single morning to inspire people to do the things that inspire them.
26
For me, the fun is finding all the ways in which I can do that.
27
And that's how you get to what you do.
28
Yes, it's interesting because Jim Collins just recently wrote a book and he says that people like that were encoded with that,
29
that there was an encoding for them to do that, that that's not something, just as you say, you don't require it out here.
30
You had it in here to begin with.
31
I think, so I agree and I would add on to it, which is it's not that some people are encoded like that.
32
All of us are encoded like that.
33
The question is, are we working in environments
34
and do we have a support structure that encourages and supports us to live by that code?
35
Very often, we are seduced by money or fame or to be an influencer.
36
We are pressured to be responsible, become an accountant, because that way you can provide for yourself even though you have no desire to be an accountant, etc. So, we give in to peer pressure,
37
we give in to societal pressure, we give in to family pressures.
38
And so, whether we're following the code is the big question.
39
And so you have truly changed the culture.
40
You've changed how the culture speaks about itself because we're now all familiar with the phrase of what is your why?
41
What do you think it is about your message that has resonated?
42
So first of all, were you surprised?
43
I was surprised at the speed and the scale that it took off, but I wasn't surprised that it resonated with people because it's a deeply human message.
44
And it was not something that I put together for any commercial or academic reason.
45
It was put together for me.
46
It was the solution that I found
47
when I lost my passion for my own work and it was only meant to help me.
48
And it did.
49
And I shared it with my friends and it helped my friends find renewed passion in their work.
50
So you were doing it for their friends?
51
Yeah, yeah.
52
That's how it started.
53
That's how it started.
54
Which is the most organic.
55
Yeah, I was giving talks in my friends' living rooms to their friends
56
and helping people find their why for a hundred bucks on the side.
57
That's how it started.
58
So tell us where you were before you discovered it for yourself.
59
What was actually going on with you?
60
I was living in New York City, living the entrepreneurial dream.
61
I'd started a small business, had a little marketing consultancy.
62
And I knew the statistics that the vast majority, well into the 90th percentile of new businesses fail in the first three years.
63
And so if you're sort of like that kind of stress and that kind of competition, you know, entrepreneurship is a crazy fun game.
64
And we survived.
65
Like we survived three years in business and my fourth year in business was dark, to say the least, because I'd survived.
66
I now was a member of this small group of organizations that had beaten the three -year statistic.
67
But I was a victim of my own success because I didn't know how to build the structure for a company.
68
It was all my personality and force of personality.
69
And as things started to go well, I didn't know what to do.
70
And it sort of came crashing down on me, to be honest.
71
Not literally, but like the pressure was overwhelming.
72
and I went into what can only be described as depression
73
and being happy -go -lucky
74
and living what superficially looks like a good life I was very afraid
75
or embarrassed to tell people that I was struggling and so I kept it to myself.
76
You were struggling how?
77
I didn't want to go to work anymore.
78
Wow.
79
I didn't want to wake up and go to work and I was very very embarrassed.
80
Um, because superficially things were good, and so I sounded whiny, you know?
81
So if you've ever been in a dark place, if you keep it to yourself, it gets worse.
82
That's right.
83
And that's exactly what happened.
84
And it wasn't until a very dear friend of mine came to me and said, something's wrong, and that was the gate that opened up.
85
Okay, so what did uncertainty teach you about yourself?
86
So the single greatest lesson I learned in that whole experience, was that I don't have to know everything and I don't have to pretend that I do
87
and to ask for help and to say to people, I don't know what's happening and I don't need to find certainty.
88
I just need to feel not alone as I go through the journey.
89
That was the greatest gift.
90
Yeah, and I've discovered that too, that many times knowing what you don't want to do is
91
just equally as important as knowing what you do want to do.
92
And that's how you get closer to certainty.
93
So we were speaking earlier about the fact that you and I, it's a surprise that we haven't really connected over the years because we share the same worldview.
94
I remember when I found my why on the Oprah Winfrey show, it was around 1989.
95
I didn't call it the why, I called it intention.
96
So I'm wondering if the why and the intention are the same.
97
I mean, depending on how you define them, probably, yes.
98
Yeah.
99
You know, the way I define why is this, it's this deep seated purpose, cause, or belief.
100
It's the reason why you're doing it.
101
It's the reason behind the reason.
102
It's the reason behind the reason.
103
It's the thing that inspires.
104
It's not a goal.
105
Yeah.
106
It's not some thing you're trying to obtain.
107
It's not based on the job you do.
108
Right.
109
But it's the thing that inspires you to get out of bed in the morning.
110
And if that thing is there, no matter how hard the work is, it feels worth it.
111
Yeah.
112
And that's, so in the way you're defining intention, the way I define the why they sound very similar.
113
So for me, the intention became in 89, up until then, I was just doing a show and I was happy to have the job and I was excited about, I was still excited about the work,
114
but something shifted for me and I just wanted to use the show and not be used by the show.
115
I wanted to use the show as a force for good.
116
And so in that intention,
117
I told the producers, do not even bring me ideas unless I'm aligned with whatever your intention is
118
so that we all sync up.
119
And so regardless of what the subject is, we're all really saying the same thing,
120
that we're using this story or this person's life or whatever is happening in this experience as a force for good.
121
How do you define the intention?
122
How do you define the why outside of the show?
123
Because the show is one of the things that you do, one of the things that you did to bring your cause to life.
124
This podcast is one of the things that you do to bring your cause to life.
125
How would you define the intention?
126
What's the string that connects absolutely everything?
127
Being a light in the world.
128
Yeah.
129
Yeah.
130
Wherever you go, you're bringing a light in the world.
131
And that's a why.
132
Yeah.
133
That's a why.
134
You're bringing enlightenment in the world.
135
You're bringing light to the person who you're picking up your laundry from today.
136
Being a light in the world and helping people to see themselves differently, absolutely in the best light.
137
And this is one of the reasons you have passion and love for what you do, which is it has purpose.
138
And as you said, when you put that filter up and say, make sure that everything we do, and sometimes we'll get it wrong,
139
make sure that as many times as possible with intention that we pass through this filter, that it does this, it brings light.
140
And the thing that I love, and this is what a good why is, people forget that a why is actually an act of service.
141
It's something we give to the world it's not something we take absolutely 100
142
and and and the fact
143
that you say to bring light in the world you know
144
it's it's it's it's not just you you are one of the things
145
that brings light to this world
146
but your work will inspire others to bring light this world
147
absolutely your your your work will inspire others to bring light to this world
148
and they in turn will bring light to other people i like it's magic i like it is magic
149
and i like the fact that you use the term thread what is the thread
150
that connects everything because i think
151
that is true for most people there is a thread that connects the dots of their lives, that if they were to look back at that thread, you would see that your life has,
152
you've already defined some sense of purpose for yourself.
153
This is how I find, this is how I help people find their why, which is I look at the past.
154
It's not a vision board we do cutting up magazines.
155
That's not what it is.
156
I look at the past and I look through their personal lives and their professional lives.
157
And I find the times where for whatever reason, and they were in flow, where things just naturally were incredible.
158
They loved what they were doing, no matter how hard it was, even if it wasn't a commercial success.
159
And I find that when you look at all of the things, when they just naturally go well, there's a pattern that emerges and we can actually define.
160
We can see that pattern and that is the why.

¿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.
