1
What I would say to you is it sounds like you've worked a lot on yourself and you're ready.
2
Boss, there's no free lunch.
3
If you want to make real money, if you want to hang out with someone higher character than you and better looking than you,
4
quite frankly, get ready to eat shit because it involves rejection over and over and over.
5
Nothing wonderful will happen to you without taking an uncomfortable risk.
6
So let's bring in more of the men in our audience.
7
Let's take a look at this video that Brandon posted on Instagram.
8
I don't know if I'll ever say be a husband or a father
9
and that really really hurts me because that's all I've wanted since I was a kid
10
and it eats at you and you wonder if you're ever going to get what everyone else has if you're good enough,
11
if you deserve it if it's
12
something that's meant for you and I've had to come to terms with maybe it's not
13
and while that brings tears to my eyes and makes me as sad as someone could be
14
you just got to trust God's plan
15
but I can still dream
16
Brandon why do you think you feel that way what's behind it I've struggled with that alone feeling my entire life.
17
I got to live my dream job as a sports reporter on TV, and people would see me on NFL sidelines interviewing the biggest stars, but behind the scenes, I was struggling with that alone feeling.
18
I thought I met my wife, a woman I was going to have kids with, and unfortunately, it was a really toxic relationship and breakup, and it put me at a spot where I was suicidal and didn't want to live anymore,
19
and so I had to check into a hospital, get help, and I realized for the first time that I wasn't alone, and I took that moment, and I decided to, similar to what you're doing,
20
be hopefully a vulnerable man that can help others.
21
And so I created the mental game where I interview athletes and celebrities like Terry Crews, Nate Burleson, Kevin Gates, these men who you think might not have any problems in the world.
22
And they struggle with the same things as me and other men in this room.
23
And I also go all over the country and try to speak.
24
We've been to 46 states, spoken to over 250 ,000 kids, adults, men, women, just trying to show that, look, it's okay to be alone and to be vulnerable as men,
25
but you have to show those emotions.
26
You know, I watched my dad my entire life, hold it all in.
27
And it wasn't until the night that I called him and said, hey, I'm going to take my own life that we ever talked about mental health.
28
So is all that talking and speaking about it, has it helped you resolve your own?
29
Yeah.
30
I mean, I was emotional watching that video.
31
We locked eyes as soon as it started playing because I posted that three weeks ago on a Friday night, not thinking it would do anything.
32
And it had 5 million views when I woke up because I think a lot of other men felt just like me.
33
So it is like therapy.
34
I go to therapy.
35
I spent two weeks in the hospital.
36
This has become my purpose to help myself and others.
37
But I think what I've learned traveling the country
38
and working with these athletes and celebrities and just anyone that's struggling with their mental health, specifically men, there's a lot of us feel the same way as I did in that video.
39
And that's why it went viral.
40
But we're scared of what our peers, other men in the room, women will think of us.
41
I mean, I gave up on dating.
42
I want to get married.
43
I want to have kids one day.
44
But since I lost who who I thought was gonna be my wife and the mother to my children, I kind of put all that energy in me.
45
And so I'm not on dating apps, I don't, the rejection thing, that's the biggest thing I'm scared of.
46
I would never go up to someone at a bar and say, hey, you're beautiful, let me buy you a cup of coffee.
47
I don't drink anymore, I'm sober, I struggle with addiction.
48
In my younger days in college, I'm cool, all right, you get no, great, go to the next one.
49
Now as being someone that's 32.
50
So what Scott said here earlier about rejection, how did that land with you?
51
I mean, it hit hard because like, it's funny, my professional life, I took all of the risk I could possibly do, leaving a job as an NFL reporter and starting my own thing.
52
Personal life, I have no interest in that, just because of that fear.
53
And so rather than risk that, I'd rather pour that energy into myself, going to the gym, working on my business, working on my mental health.
54
I think loving yourself, I didn't love myself until like a year and a half ago.
55
And it took me a long time to get to that point.
56
Okay.
57
What's your question for Scott?
58
I think for me, it bounces off that of how can you balance loving yourself, but also trying to find that person to love.
59
I feel like for the first time, like I said, I do love myself and I'm ready to date.
60
I want to get married one day and be a father and have kids.
61
But it's like, how do you balance the two?
62
Can you do both at the same time?
63
So I just feel like I need to disclose I have no domain expertise or training in psychiatry.
64
And so when you talk about mental health issues, I can talk to you about my own mental health issues,
65
but I don't ever want to supplant the notion that you should talk to professionals and get real advice.
66
I'm speaking to you as someone who's been through a lot of what you've been through, but my advice is anecdotal.
67
So just that asterisk.
68
I coach a lot of young men, and I have enough respect for you not to PG -13 or whitewash my content.
69
When men usually say, young men, the young men I work with, usually want to move out of their parents' house.
70
They want to start making some money, and then ultimately what they end up is, like, when they start trusting me, I'd really like a girlfriend.
71
And I go through a series of exercises, and the first thing I ask them is, like, would you have sex with you?
72
What do you look like?
73
Do you take your appearance seriously?
74
Do you have a plan?
75
Do you have a kindness practice?
76
How do you demonstrate excellence?
77
Right?
78
The basis of evolution.
79
I love the way you talk about, you emphasize kindness so much in notes on being a man.
80
There are three reasons women are attracted to men sexually.
81
And there's a ton of research here.
82
Number one, and we don't like to talk about this, is the man's ability to signal resources.
83
All right?
84
We don't like to admit that.
85
It's important.
86
Number two is intellect.
87
Because instinctively, people who make good decisions for the tribe, the tribe lives longer
88
so women are drawn to intellect the fastest way to communicate an intellect is humor
89
and just so i can offend everybody it's a joke
90
but we can be funny about this this is my impersonation of a woman i'm laughing i'm laughing i'm naked
91
if you can make a woman laugh the only dates i ever got with people i can make laugh
92
if you can make a woman laugh she will likely have a coffee with you
93
and then the third thing
94
and this is the most under leveraged secret weapon in mating kindness
95
because women instinctively know there might be periods in their life through gestation
96
or because they are smaller physically that they need someone who baseline is kind right
97
so a kindness practice i i'm not proud of you say
98
you were not always kind i'm not proud of this i was not born with the kindness gene
99
and when i had kids i realized that they were gonna model me, so I believe, like anything, you can develop a practice.
100
And every day, I tried to do something that demonstrated some sort of generosity towards someone with no reciprocal expectation.
101
When did you realize you were not a kind person?
102
Professionally, when I realized that I could have been so much nicer, I could have.
103
Were you unkind?
104
Were you an asshole?
105
Never mean, never unkind, but what you realize is that you have, everyone has capital.
106
When you're young, you have more time than money.
107
When you're older, you have some money.
108
I got some early success.
109
I would have been so easy for me to lift young people up.
110
I was never mean, but it would have been so easy for me to say, you were just outstanding in that meeting.
111
Or I've been watching you.
112
I think you're going to do great.
113
This is where I think you could improve.
114
It's so easy.
115
And you don't have to be a baller.
116
I now stop.
117
I saw an old couple.
118
I'm virtue signaling right now, but it's true.
119
I saw an old couple on the street.
120
They looked amazing.
121
It was one of those New York couples.
122
And I stopped them and I said, you guys just look amazing.
123
And I could tell it made them feel good and it made me feel better about myself.
124
And now after doing this for 20 years, it's common practice.
125
But these are basic reasons why women are drawn to men.
126
What I would say to you is it sounds like you've worked a lot on yourself and you're ready.
127
Boss, there's no free lunch.
128
If you wanna make real money, if you wanna hang out with someone higher character than you and better looking than you,
129
quite frankly, get ready to eat shit because it involves rejection over and over and over.
130
Nothing wonderful will happen to you without taking an uncomfortable risk.
131
And a lot of it is just practice.
132
Get used to know.
133
And when I tell these men I mentor, church group, sports league, whatever it might be, and then you got to express friendship or romantic interest.
134
And this is what's going to happen.
135
You're probably going to get to know and then you're going to call me the next day.
136
I'm going to say, are you all right?
137
And that person's going to say, yes.
138
I'm going to say, okay, and now the next time it's two approaches.
139
You just gotta build some calluses.
140
There's no easy way around it.
141
No is the path to wonderful yeses.
142
Got that, Brandon?
143
I got it.
144
I'm gonna try my best.
145
Thank you, Brandon.
146
The humor part helps.
147
Thank you.
148
I applaud you, Brandon, too, for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable on that tape.
149
That's why you got 5 million responses, because people respond to your heart.

Video consigliato

Il contesto: Vulnerabilità e lotte interiori

Il video racconta una conversazione tra uomini che condividono esperienze profonde: la paura del rifiuto, la solitudine nonostante successi esterni e la battaglia per la salute mentale. Un contesto reale che mette in luce emozioni universali, perfetto per esercitarti a capire il linguaggio colloquiale e le sfumature di sentimenti in inglese.

Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare

  • "Get ready to eat shit": Espressione informale per dire che devi prepararti a subire difficoltà o rifiuti (es. "Se vuoi raggiungere obiettivi, devi get ready to eat shit").
  • "Eat at you": Significa che qualcosa ti tormenta interiormente (es. "La paura di non essere sufficiente eats at me").
  • "Come to terms with": Accettare una realtà difficile (es. "Ho dovuto come to terms with il fatto che le cose non vanno come speravo").
  • "Hold it all in": Ritenere dentro sé le emozioni (es. "Mio padre ha sempre held it all in").
  • "Lock eyes": Incontrare lo sguardo di qualcuno (es. "Noi locked eyes mentre il video iniziava").

Il tuo desafio di shadowing: Impara la pronuncia e l'intonazione

Per migliorare la pronuncia inglese, usa il metodo del shadowing: riproduci un frammento del dialogo (es. la parte dove Brandon parla di essere stato in ospedale) e ripeterlo immediatamente dopo, imitando l'intonazione, il ritmo e la pronuncia. Usa un shadowing site o semplicemente il video: metti in pausa ogni 5 secondi e ripeti. Concentrati su frasi come "I was suicidal and didn't want to live anymore" – nota come la parola "suicidal" è pronunciata e come l'intonazione scende alla fine della frase per esprimere tristezza. Pratica per 10 minuti al giorno: il shadow speech ti aiuterà a rendere il tuo inglese più fluido e naturale. Ricorda: il shadowspeak non è solo ripetere, ma imitare la musica del linguaggio!

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.
