1
You're dreaming big and doing absolutely nothing about it.
2
You've had this same idea for two years, maybe three years, a great dream for your career, your business, your relationships, wealth maybe,
3
but you haven't started yet.
4
Why?
5
What's getting in the way?
6
That's what we want to cover.
7
There are three traps.
8
I've had this dream for over five years.
9
Never got started on it until last year and it was to start this very YouTube channel.
10
And when I finally did it, All I could think of was Man, I should have done it much sooner.
11
In the last eight months, we've added 1 .2 million subscribers.
12
For every second that this channel has been alive, roughly about 45 million seconds, someone somewhere has watched the video.
13
The love and the warmth that I continue to receive every day is just overwhelming.
14
It's so hard to describe.
15
Just impossible.
16
That's our case study.
17
And through that, we will build a systematic process
18
that helps you define those three traps and gets you out of all three of them.
19
The third one took me 20 years to figure out.
20
And this video I thought would be different.
21
It's raw, it's no animations, no effects, just unplugged.
22
Because we're talking about the YouTube channel itself, I thought it should be just you and me.
23
And I had the cameras on and I have some bullet points in front of me, but it's just going to be a conversation.
24
So let's get going.
25
I think the first trap is the hardest to escape, at least for me.
26
We don't bet on ourselves.
27
Our ambition is not a problem.
28
I think the real problem is how we see ourselves.
29
I'm not worthy, I don't deserve it, Who's going to care?
30
You would rather take a chance on anyone but yourself.
31
That's been My story all my life.
32
In fact, the genesis of this very channel will tell you all about how that narrative has been trapping all of us.
33
I was a young kid, a teenager, and I ran away from home for a while and I became a monk in training.
34
swept the courtyards and cleaned the toilets and ate one meal a day from a bull, all of that.
35
And somehow, Over time, I managed to become a musician and ended up going to MIT,
36
worked on Wall Street, eventually became a CEO, board member, investor, all of that.
37
But all throughout that journey, At every phase, the voice that has always kept repeating in my head has been saying,
38
What am I doing here?
39
I don't belong here.
40
I'm not supposed to be here. And
41
Eventually, I got very lucky and I had two big exits
42
and I was in tech so I got to retire about three years ago,
43
but even after that, This idea that I don't deserve it has never left me.
44
I don't know, it must be my chemistry or something.
45
When I thought, oh, I should start something creative.
46
I should start a YouTube channel.
47
Because I saw my eight -year -old being completely fearless in starting his channel.
48
And I thought, Well, if he could do it, I can do it too.
49
But I was still so afraid. about going it alone.
50
So I went back to my old band members One by one, I asked all of them to see if they would do it with me.
51
If we could start the band together and then the YouTube channel will be about music.
52
And in that band, I was the drummer.
53
So, I was never used to being in the center.
54
I was only comfortable on
55
being on the side or at the back
56
and unfortunately they were all busy with their own lives and their own dreams so Nothing came of it.
57
And I remember feeling so down about it.
58
And one late evening I was flying from London to New York and this
59
thought suddenly hit me that I was just hiding behind them.
60
I've been doing that all my life.
61
I always wanted a partner, a co -founder, I had never bet on myself.
62
And that's where I decided to just
63
talk about personal growth professional growth
64
ai careers finance relationships insights that the 22 year old version of me needed so desperately but never got.
65
So that's how this channel came about.
66
So I went ahead and I hired an agency,
67
a team to help me edit and manage this whole YouTube channel and the process.
68
And I remember them asking me, hey, what do you want to call it?
69
And I said, listen, you can call it whatever you want.
70
as long as it's not my own name still hiding so we found a brand name some of you
71
may remember that this channel's original name was the MIT Monk.
72
And I love that name.
73
two contrasting ideas, and I had been both.
74
However, I remember...
75
heaving a sigh of relief when we found the name.
76
And the first thought that came to my mind was, Great.
77
This is all about this thing called MIT Monk this avatar
78
I don't have to be
79
me i don't have to bet on myself
80
so anyway the first video gets released in february of 2025
81
the long form video for the first eight months after that so until october november of 2025
82
crickets very few people watched what I was producing, even fewer subscribers.
83
And you know, I was kind of relieved.
84
I wasn't surprised either because, you know, there are 140 million videos uploaded on YouTube every week. And...
85
You know, mine was one of them.
86
lost in the same void.
87
Fortunately, I did not need to make money off of this channel.
88
So, I kept showing up every week, week after week.
89
And I remember we crossed About 50 ,000 subscribers in late October of 2025. And...
90
I still heard the same voice.
91
Why will anyone care what I have to say.
92
So I remember I was on a Zoom call with the agency CEO and the creative director.
93
And I asked them, you know,
94
it's October and we're at 50 ,000 subscribers or so When do you think we'll cross 100 ,000.
95
subscribers and they looked at each other and said You know, at this rate, it will take you...
96
at least a year. or more. So...
97
October of 2026, maybe.
98
And that's when we will cross 100 ,000 subscribers.
99
And I was delighted.
100
I was happy.
101
with that expert forecast.
102
But then something surprising started happening in November.
103
And I remember it was like November 1st or something like that just water break
104
Because we crossed 100 ,000 subscribers in literally two weeks after that Zoom call.
105
Whatever was supposed to take a year, we crossed it in two weeks.
106
And in eight months since November, we added 1 .2 million subscribers.
107
And the growth keeps accelerating.
108
I kid you not, I don't really know why that happened.
109
I don't really know why it's happening.
110
I have some theories about it, but...
111
YouTube algorithm is an algorithm of attention.
112
So why do millions of people viewers like you,
113
decide to give their time and their attention and their love to someone like me
114
is a total mystery box that I can't solve.
115
All I can do is feel this immense gratitude that we get to spend time together.
116
And this thing keeps growing.
117
every day but then uh came one more twist as we were crossing that million subscriber milestone in
118
April or May of 2026, MIT called.
119
And they were Like, very nice.
120
You know, they were gentle.
121
They said, "Hey, you know, We love the fact that you're doing this.
122
It's very nice.
123
The content is very good.
124
But we're gonna have to ask you, dude, take down MIT from the brand name that you're using,
125
because people Todd that there was an actual monk that worked at MIT as a faculty member.
126
So of course, I said yes, because I am an alum.
127
My team started scrambling for another brand name, I have this chief of staff of mine and I've worked with her for years.
128
She's known me for years.
129
And she asked me to get on a live Zoom call.
130
and she literally shared her desktop screen on Zoom and looked me in the eye and said,
131
I'm gonna change the name right now.
132
And before I could say anything,
133
she added my real name on the YouTube channel homepage, the MIT monk became Sandeep Swadia and it felt so uncomfortable.
134
for me to see that name.
135
I just wanted to keep hiding.
136
Now, I've been to the absolute bottom and I've been to the top.
137
I've been very fortunate.
138
I'm not scared of losing.
139
But standing up in the spotlight all by yourself and then accepting that you can deserve to be there,
140
That's super hard.
141
And researchers have looked at hundreds of studies on this.
142
Only about half the people who intend to do something, who intend to follow their dreams, End up doing it.
143
It's a coin flip.
144
So it's never about how badly you want it.
145
doing is way harder than dreaming.
146
we get in our own way.
147
So what do you do? this Monday morning.
148
First, you have to realize that you are waiting for your own permission that will never come.
149
And second, start with the smallest of the small bet that you can make.
150
Just the first step.
151
Take it.
152
Because This is what you will tell me later, I guarantee it.
153
You'll say: I should have started it much sooner.
154
It doesn't matter if...
155
No one else cares.
156
if you care about it deeply.
157
Isn't that a great reason enough to get started?
158
Here's Another example, I love going deeper.
159
And so I started writing a newsletter, I think two months ago.
160
Every Tuesday, it comes out and one insight, one tool, one practice.
161
that you can use every day.
162
And you can subscribe to it if you'd like.
163
But it's something I I love to do.
164
That's a reason enough.
165
It's free.
166
Link is below, but.
167
Let's talk about the second trap now.
168
And that is Thank you.
169
Subtle. and trickier.
170
And I hear about it from thousands of inbound messages.
171
The question is, why start anything?
172
in the age of AI.
173
The machines can do it better than me and faster than me.
174
Some of it is partly true and It feels like you lost before you even started.
175
But I think as AI gets smarter at intelligence,
176
our human judgment is going to be more and more valuable.
177
Let me give you two examples.
178
two stories.
179
One about creation and one about communication.
180
Both stories are coming from building this YouTube channel because that's our case study.
181
But the activity doesn't matter.
182
The principles will apply to anything you want to build in the age of AI.
183
So for every week, I think about what I ate.
184
what the topics are going to be, what I want to talk about and I write.
185
Descript every week.
186
And that's the biggest challenge.
187
Because there's so much AI slop on YouTube, as you know, on any social media platform nowadays.
188
And building something original seems almost because AI by default,
189
wants you to talk like everybody else that's how ai learned to talk anyway because it was trained on the content
190
that existed on the internet creating something truly original takes to human faculties that aren't supposed to get along well.
191
Your hot -blooded emotions and your cold -blooded craft.
192
They fight each other all the time.
193
Because when you focus on your emotions and your intuition and your imagination, you lose sight of the discipline to focus on...
194
the details of grammar and structure and verification of the research and all of that stuff.
195
And on the other hand, when you focus on the craft and the details and the structures, that you want to neatly construct something,
196
you lose that spark, that intuition, that that human -ness of it.
197
There is a great Indian poet and I love him, I admire his work.
198
His name is Javed Akhtar and he says it brilliantly,
199
that It is this very contradiction that makes our output human, that makes our output poetic.
200
It gives it the unique fingerprint.
201
that is yours.
202
Here's the thing, the cold half, you know, the craft half, and the structure and an idea, all of that.
203
A machine can do that now Instantly and free and better than you and faster than you.
204
What it cannot do is the other half.
205
That's your imagination, your intuition.
206
your judgment.
207
And working through this contradiction of emotion and craft is always going to be extremely frustrating.
208
It is annoying for me because every week I spend hours and hours and hours trying to find something that is
209
worth putting in front of you so that I don't waste your time.
210
And every time it feels like It's not going to work this week.
211
It's not going to happen.
212
And I'm not going to make it.
213
and but somehow every week it works out.
214
And AI can be an expert at deep research, so I use it.
215
It can be a very good thinking partner.
216
There are lots of advantages, but I've never once seen something that I could just copy.
217
- Yes.
218
and reuse on this channel.
219
Not even once.
220
Maybe it'll get better over time.
221
Nobody knows.
222
But your judgment and your taste and your ability to struggle through this contradiction that we're talking about,
223
that can still help you avoid the trap and create something beautiful.
224
something that is entirely yours, something that is entirely you.
225
That's the first principle.
226
And the second principle is equally tricky
227
because we tend to start believing in the so -called experts when we're starting on our dream.
228
But they just hand us playbooks that worked for others that may or may not work for you
229
Here is what I learned.
230
When I started this channel, It wasn't working out in the beginning, you know, we weren't getting the traction.
231
So I would speak to a bunch of YouTube experts who would tell me
232
a long list of things that I needed to fix.
233
You have to speak very fast.
234
You have to be animated.
235
You gotta amp it up.
236
Why aren't you saying please subscribe three times?
237
It should be in the beginning, in the middle, at the end.
238
You have to keep hammering it.
239
Your videos are too long keep them under 12 minutes 10
240
minutes do more shorts tuesday at 10 am is the best
241
time to release your videos you need to use a whiteboard you need to create a classroom vibe
242
and on and on and on and actually if you see my earlier videos,
243
maybe the first two or three or four months,
244
I am desperately trying to amp it up and looked like I was so excited.
245
I talked like this all the time, throughout all the videos.
246
I don't know why, but eventually, I couldn't recognize. who that person was.
247
I was following the advice of people who didn't know me.
248
- Yes.
249
They had a playbook.
250
and it was a great playbook.
251
But you know, following a standard operating process will only make you a standard operating product just like everyone else.
252
So after a few months, I stopped performing and talking fast and projecting.
253
I just started having a conversation in a normal way that We all usually talk.
254
Now did any of that change have anything to do with the eight -month explosion that we've had Maybe...
255
We'll never know for sure.
256
Maybe not.
257
But I do know that the viewers you know, and vicious folks like you.
258
Connect with this content at a very different level at a different scale,
259
at a very different emotional depth.
260
So, what's the action item here?
261
Everyone will come to you with their playbook on what works when you start on your dream.
262
They mean well.
263
but they don't know.
264
So learn from them, but then make your own playbook.
265
Here's an interesting proof point.
266
You know, the experts told me that I should Say subscribe, please subscribe and like at the end of every video.
267
Someone said, oh, you have to have a...
268
a cool signature line or gesture at the end of the video,
269
like a wave or a salute or "See you on the other side, adios." something cool.
270
And I struggled to come up with it, but couldn't. And Okay.
271
I remember maybe...
272
Thank you around fourth or fifth of our videos that i was recording I accidentally blurred out I love you all.
273
And if you find that video on the channel,
274
you'll see that it's an accident and this stuff comes out of my mouth and I look a bit awkward because
275
It wasn't planned.
276
And the agency team, when they were editing it, asked me if we should take it out.
277
And I I somehow felt that It was a very genuine moment.
278
So we kept it and became our signature line.
279
Now, No playbook.
280
and no expert would have given me that line.
281
no AI would have written it because it wasn't about conscious craft.
282
It came from that inner part of being human.
283
You'll never outrun AI on speed or stamina or smarts.
284
What's scarce now? is that very human part that we're talking about.
285
your judgment, your taste your genuine authenticity, your emotions.
286
That's how you avoid that second trap of commoditization.
287
So, okay, you bet on yourself, You got started.
288
You figured out how to stand out from the crowd.
289
What's the third trap?
290
Let's go there next.
291
The problem is that we spend our whole life becoming good at one thing.
292
I'm a lawyer, I'm an engineer, I'm a founder, I'm a marketer, I'm an HR expert I'm a leader.
293
I'm the CEO.
294
You're not one thing.
295
you'll have things in your life that don't fit together.
296
Those parts feel like misfits a flaw in your resume but Here's the thing that I learned.
297
If you Look at a guitar.
298
I have a guitar.
299
It has six strings.
300
Let's see.
301
Here it is.
302
And these six strings have different thickness.
303
different tension.
304
Each one is tuned to a different note.
305
Now, if you strum them open, It's just noise.
306
It doesn't sound musical, Unless it sounds physical to you.
307
Most people will say, "hmm, what is that?" But if you learn to press at certain points,
308
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sounds gorgeous, right?
309
Now, I play guitar like a drummer would play guitar.
310
These are called Cowboy Accords, anyone can learn them.
311
But The point is, Each string resonates with the other,
312
and that's how harmony is produced.
313
And therein lies the trap and the solution.
314
If you bring just one string, to your dream and to your work, and leave the rest of them at home,
315
then you'll wonder why You're not able to make a song.
316
Why it's not working?
317
Why the music?
318
doesn't come out.
319
Because our identities are kind of like that too.
320
Each one may not seem connected.
321
Me on Wall Street has nothing to do with me, the creator.
322
here and me from the monk training era has nothing to do with me, the board member.
323
But somehow, they all resonate with each other at a deeper level.
324
just like that guitar.
325
So you may not feel like you're absolutely amazing at anything, maybe you're above average at best at a handful of things, but that's the magic.
326
Somehow, when you put all of that together in a certain way, and you know where to press,
327
it gives rise to a different type of harmony.
328
Why a different type?
329
Because that combination doesn't exist anywhere else.
330
That's yours.
331
So, you have to keep experimenting.
332
with how you play with all these gifts that you have together.
333
playing a guitar.
334
And there's no right or wrong way of playing it.
335
I'm not a great player.
336
but I love playing it.
337
There's only your way.
338
And so, You have to see everything as if it's an experiment.
339
This video is a total experiment.
340
Normally, my team would pour in so much love
341
and effort into cuts and edits and A -roll and B -roll and animation and all of that production.
342
every small detail matters to them, matters to us, matters to me.
343
But today we thought, you know,
344
this is about the YouTube channel and is Genesis so we got rid of every single layer.
345
Now Do we know that it's going to work?
346
We don't know.
347
If it works, We'll do it again we'll make some more.
348
If it doesn't, we'll try something else.
349
This channel is just a lab.
350
Every week we run an experiment and we find out what actually resonates with you.
351
What you find valuable.
352
Life's kind of like that too.
353
So here's what you do Monday morning.
354
don't kill yourself trying to be one clean thing.
355
You are too many things. which is...
356
where the beauty is.
357
Look at areas in your life that don't fit.
358
and find a way to bring all of it to your dreams.
359
Because Turning a massive dream into something real doesn't take a sudden cinematic explosion of talent.
360
It takes a a systematic process with the three parts that we talked about.
361
1. Bet on yourself.
362
and please get started.
363
Two, rely on your human judgment.
364
and three Never stop experimenting.
365
And through that process, you will change the shape of your dream.
366
N.
367
that dream will change the shape of you.
368
And that, interactive chain reaction will never stop once you start.
369
So remember to start tonight what you've been putting off for years.
370
And remember, A note you never play cannot become a song.
371
And as I always say, thank you.
372
And I love you.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
