Pratica di Shadowing: The New Rules of Social Media (2026) - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

We don't even live in social media anymore.

We now live in interest media.

Five years ago, you got content from the people you followed, even if you didn't give a shit what your cousin was doing today.

I started a TikTok account.

The first post on that account with zero followers got 8.2 million organic views.

You better understand that every one of you now live in an AI world.

This is only going to compound dramatically.

Your third TikTok can fundamentally change the course of your career.

This my friends is about adaptability.

This is being prepared for the moment.

Look, there's so much opportunity in social media and whether you make the content or somebody else makes the content, the one thing that we are all bound by is

that we are all fighting for attention of a human being to then do the thing that you want them to do.

And attention has moved.

We now live in a world that is incredibly fragmented and I think we all know that.

In fact, we don't even live in social media anymore.

We now live in interest media.

As many of you know that are on TikTok or Instagram or Facebook, five years ago, you got content from the people you followed, even if you didn't give a shit what your cousin was doing today.

Today, when you opened up your TikTok or Instagram or Facebook, you're getting content of things you're currently interested in.

The most intoxicating thing to me right now in the warfare of attention to build your actual business is

that even if you've done nothing right for the last 15 years, the world we're in now allows you to close the gap very quickly.

I've been making content now for 20 years.

You've done nothing right, and your third TikTok can fundamentally change the course of your career.

I'm just gonna leave, thank you.

The point I'm making there is this is insane.

I've literally worked my face off for 20 years, 15 hours a day to amass 50 million followers,

and if you make a very good piece of content as your fourth piece of content ever, it can literally lead to 15 to 20 new clients

or an employee that you're looking to hire or whatever you're up to.

Run for mayor in your town.

I don't give a shit.

What I care about is you understanding the intoxicating nature of the merit of a single post now,

not what you've done to get to that single post.

How many of you tried a little bit and didn't get the results you were looking for?

Let's raise your hands.

Raise it high.

So for the 80 or 90 of you, I have good news.

It, as you just saw, works.

You just suck at it.

And that's good.

That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.

Whatever you were doing was not working.

It could be multiple things.

You gave up too early because you didn't have the patience for how much content needed to be done to break through.

If your content is completely selfish and it's only about like, hey, this is what I do and I'd like you to give me money so that I can do it for you, that is not going to work.

It's like boxing.

If every single post you have is a right hook, the audience starts getting used to it and they're able to duck.

If you do not put out the jab content or the faint content to set it up, you will lose.

In my world, with the hope to grow your business, the jab content and the faint content is basically information for free with the hopes that it helps.

That value will create the karma and will create the energy that will lead to the sale.

What has built my career and many people that I've watched, who's the most committed to bringing the most value to the audience

and letting the residual effects of that value drive their actual business.

Doing good things leads to good results.

The issue that I have that's different than a year ago is this social media thing is free.

Google AdWords, you pay for.

Direct mail, you pay for.

Print ads, pay for.

Social is free.

Now, you can spend ads on it, which I recommend.

By the way, how many people here spend ad dollars on social to get business?

Raise your hands.

All right, I'm gonna give you a very nuanced thing this morning that I hope you listen to me.

The days of taking and making a video or an ad

or a picture and running media on Facebook or Instagram or TikTok to get clients are over.

You should always post every piece of content you make for a sale or an ad organically first.

If it does well in views compared to your norm, That's what you start running media on.

Many of you are wasting a lot of money on social because it cannot get views unless the creative is relevant.

How many pieces of content did you post in social yesterday?

Raise your hand and show me in fingers how many you posted.

Six, two, thank you.

10, good shit big dog.

I posted 432.

I'm being serious.

How many people here follow me on social?

Raise your hands just to get a sense.

Thank you.

Have some of you that just raised your hands starting to notice

that there's new accounts starting to pop up for me So it's not just Gary V.

It's Gary V on podcast.

It's uncle V on fucking tick-tock I will probably have by the end of the year over a thousand different accounts

Because what I've been telling you that you don't need followers to get views.

I started saying to myself I'm not gonna cry for myself that my 20 years of work have been commoditized.

I'm just gonna go on the offense of the same thing.

This, my friends, is about adaptability.

This is being prepared for the moment.

How many people here have seen the piece of content where I met that young girl after a talk and she said, I know one day I'm gonna be somebody.

And I said, you're somebody now.

I started a TikTok account called you're somebody now.

The first post I posted on that account with zero followers

was a slight edit on the video that did well for me, which is why many of you saw it.

That video with zero followers got 8.2 million organic views.

When every single person goes to an AI bot and says, I need a chiropractor now, who should I go with?

You better understand that every one of you now live in an AI world.

This is only gonna compound dramatically.

And I need you to have a brand, because brand is going to be the only thing that's defensible in this extreme technology world.

I'm gonna take you to the complete other extreme, and I believe this has the capacity to grow your business dramatically.

I am asking all of you to call, text, write to every client you've ever had.

All I am asking you is to reach out to them and see how they're doing, nothing else.

I'm not telling you to do it because I think they're gonna re-up with you and you're gonna remind them, and it'll be like, oh, I need you.

I think if you really do it the way I'm saying, which is just be a good person and just say hello, when you reach out, you are not looking for a transaction.

You are looking to say hello.

100

And this is the whole game that we're about to go into, friends.

101

The whole world is about to be a barbell.

102

Extreme technology over here, AI, robots, weird ass shit that we're not ready for.

103

And then all the way over here, 1950s.

104

And this is an opportunity because now you have nothing to complain about or cry.

105

You don't want to be on this new technology kick with me?

106

Mazel tov.

107

But you better be on some old grandpa shit from the 1940s.

108

And if you don't do one of the two, well, you're a bitch.

109

You're going to have to pick one.

110

And for whoever's a psycho enough to actually have their actions map their ambitions

111

or the words that come out of their mouth, you need to do both.

112

There's another platform that has really caught my attention and is gaining incredible steam.

113

How many people here do not make social media content

114

because they don't like the way they look on video or they're awkward when they're recorded on video.

115

Raise your hands.

116

It's okay.

117

Be vulnerable, please.

118

Raise your hands.

119

I'm empathetic to that.

120

I will say one quick thing to all of you.

121

We are not in seventh grade anymore.

122

People saying you're ugly or not interesting.

123

You do not need to be over the top and high energy.

124

You can be monotone.

125

There's many different ways to deliver information.

126

I would like to ask you to try to get out of high school, but I won't even push you to that even though that's what I think.

127

You must get very serious about spending five to ten hours of doing homework on sub stack

128

Sub stack is one of the most important new platforms of information.

129

It's written content You go into chat GPT and you're like Gary V just talked about sub stack.

130

I'm a chiropractor What do I need to know enter?

131

Information is now useless.

132

It is literally a commodity It is not valuable yet people will pay for it

133

if they connect with the person if you are a good writer It will be a lead gen to your business.

134

You will do the jabbing not the right hooks You will show up

135

and write things that people should do tips and tricks things

136

that you've observed

137

and being in this business for 20 years My friends preparation

138

the theme of this being ready for the moment is very very interesting

139

and exciting mentally But

140

if you are not practicing you could be mentally prepared for running the New York Marathon

141

But if you do not train for it only

142

so much is gonna happen take 2026

143

and make it an action year not a thinking year You want to grow

144

or fix your business or make yourself bulletproof or be prepared for the moment?

145

Well guess what good news everyone They picked a great theme

146

because the moment's coming you can take it

147

and control it like one of those weird stories Where the swords more fucking powerful than the person

148

and you can tame the sword and weaponize it for you or you can have it slice your fucking head off.

149

That's up to you.

150

I'd pick the first one.

151

Thank you.

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.
