1
Did the color of your fire change?
2
Oh, absolutely.
3
I'm just, you know, During the-- first of all, nothing was better.
4
Nothing was better, nor will ever replace or should the years of the Oprah show.
5
There will never be a time like that again.
6
for me and I think for all the team members.
7
I mean, the...
8
And that's what I mean by the velocity and the intensity.
9
And I can speak to that because I know
10
that So many things happened at such an intense rate that I don't remember half of it.
11
I don't remember.
12
Because we were just sitting around the table the other night talking with the crew, and they were saying, "This story and this story." I go, "I don't remember that.
13
I don't remember that." Because I was just going at such full speed.
14
Yeah.
15
And so now, what I have is great, pure satisfaction from every conversation.
16
So I'm not going from this conversation to the next conversation, the next conversation.
17
I'm not trying to fill, you know, 200 shows a year.
18
I'm not trying to.
19
you know, prove anything.
20
First of all, neither you nor I have anything left to prove.
21
Right.
22
We've done it.
23
We've reached the pinnacle of success and achieved and all of that. So everything
24
that I do now is basically an offering to help other people see their lives in a more meaningful way
25
and what to make of their lives.
26
That's what it's all for for me.
27
Yeah.
28
And I think that's because when the fire changes color, and you are at this different phase, then these amazing things happen late.
29
And this notion that somehow we have this peak when we're young, And then it goes like this.
30
Well, that's the thing I was saying.
31
No matter where you all are in your life, this book is going to be so valuable to you because I'm so shocked at the number of people
32
who've done extraordinary things.
33
To read that Meryl Streep, most of her Academy Award nominations came after age 60.
34
Yeah, she did so many of them.
35
She was...
36
I mean, talk about somebody who's encoded.
37
Yes.
38
And has been...
39
in frame doing this for so many years.
40
And that was a place with her story.
41
I watched every one of her films in sequence, which was very interesting.
42
Well, as I was reading about her films, I was thinking, gosh, you know what?
43
I'm going to have myself a Meryl Streep Festival.
44
You should.
45
Absolutely.
46
I'm going to have myself a Meryl Streep Festival and watch all of those movies.
47
That's right.
48
And you see the evolution.
49
You can see different phases of life.
50
playing different roles.
51
But what's so interesting is, I mean, she has more Oscar nominations than anybody.
52
Anybody.
53
I like a factor of two.
54
Yes.
55
And they don't stack early.
56
They're spread throughout, and she has about half of them.
57
Her first one was age 29.
58
That's right.
59
And then she gets all the way out into her 60s, and she has as many nominations in her 60s as when she was in her...
60
in her younger years per decade, is amazing.
61
And the fire hasn't gone out.
62
You can just see that it just gets out.
63
Yeah, we're just waiting for Devil Wears product.
64
Yeah.
65
Okay, so I found this to be a seminal question that you posed on page 99.
66
Stop and think for a moment.
67
You say, "What is the relationship between work and money?" I love this.
68
Y 'all are going to love this.
69
Is the purpose of work to make money or is the purpose of money to be able to do one's work?
70
That's right.
71
Well, that depends on how we define and think about work.
72
I think people get really caught up in the money thing.
73
How do you flip the arrow of money, as you say?
74
Yeah.
75
So that was a...
76
Like a really critical thing for me to see was that it wasn't about just the economics.
77
It was about What direction the arrow goes?
78
And there's so many different people that illustrate this in the study.
79
But, you know, I think about Maurice White, the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire, you know, and he's doing One meal a day They cost a dollar.
80
So a dollar a day, a meal a day, while he's getting his music going to eventually get to do Earth, Wind & Fire.
81
And he didn't do music to make money, but he needed money to do music.
82
Right.
83
- Right.
84
- And so he had to do the gigs, and he had to put things in place.
85
But then later, when "Earth, Wind & Fire" was really going, it was really interesting.
86
He would do these albums with the band, But then he always took the money from that and put it back into doing more music and more spectacular performances.
87
Oh, my goodness.
88
Some of those performances.
89
Do you remember?
90
I do.
91
And then putting it right back in and then those would generate economics to do more. And so,
92
It's like if you understand that Money is fuel to do what you're encoded for
93
that feeds the fire rather than the point is to make money.
94
The problem is if the point is to make money, and then you make money, what do you do next?
95
If the point is, as we were talking earlier, we don't need to do any of this for money.
96
But if that's not the point anyways, you never want to stop.
97
Yeah. Because...
98
But I will have to say, even in the years of The Oprah Show, when I first started doing that show, if they had told me, "You were not gonna make any money doing this show," I would have done it.
99
That's right.
100
one of the most important moments in my life was doing "The Color Purple." I did that for $35 ,000.
101
And I remember when my lawyer was saying, "I'm going to ask them for 50," and I go, "No, don't ask them for 50.
102
I'll do it for 35." I've never actually made.. any decision based on money.
103
I've never done anything for the purpose of making money.
104
And actually, can I spend just a moment on this?
105
Because we have some people in our study like Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, who just went on with his singing, doing amazing things late in life.
106
And he turned down the opportunity to do probably the first billion -dollar reunion tour with Zeppelin.
107
And he decided not to do it.
108
And people say, yeah, but that's easy because he's already wealthy.
109
And what I want people to understand is that Robert Plant's circumstances changed.
110
But the reason he did what he did was always the same.
111
So he started out without money.
112
then ended up with a lot of money, but his motivation was always the same, which was to sing.
113
And so I'm curious if that's true for you, that the motivation has always been the same.
114
It's just the circumstances are different.
115
Exactly.
116
And the fact that I was encoded to do that talk show, I was encoded to do that,
117
is what allowed me to be so successful at it.
118
It was as natural as breathing to me.
119
I was the most comfortable in the most in front of an audience.
120
Okay.
121
I want to talk about this because so many of you are going to be able to relate to this.
122
And Jim talks about in What to Make of a Life the competence doom loop i've seen this
123
so many times during my working career
124
and you write on page 111 one of the great traps of life and see
125
if this is you one of the great traps of life
126
is the curse of the competence doom loop it goes like this you become reasonably competent at something
127
that doesn't capture your encodings or ignite the inner fire but it pays you well work hard
128
leads to increased opportunities to do even more of what does not fit your encodings or ignite the inner fire, and you're getting paid even more to do it.
129
That's the loop that so many people are in that can't get themselves out.
130
I actually have a lot of compassion for how that happens because They may have family responsibilities.
131
That's right.
132
They may have a need to provide for others.
133
There may be reasons for that.
134
And so it's not like it's a defect, but once you get trapped in it, it's really hard to get out of it because you just get better and better paid at doing something you're not encoded.
135
That you don't even like.
136
Yeah.
137
And one day you wake up to discover that years or decades have passed.
138
You're well paid.
139
and out of frame.
140
The inner fire is still there, but gradually going dormant.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
