1
When I was young, I was always drawn to people that sounded intelligent.
2
People like Alan Watts, Jordan Peterson,
3
Daniel Schmachtenberger, or other individuals who could explain deep ideas in an exciting yet palatable way.
4
Most of the time I didn't understand what they were saying,
5
either because I was too young and dumb or they were just over-complicating what they were saying,
6
but they sounded smart and articulate,
7
so I gave them my respect.
8
Now the thing is, I never thought that I could do the same.
9
I never thought that I could be articulate.
10
I I thought that those people were just inherently more intelligent than I was.
11
I honestly didn't think that my brain could do that.
12
I was a smart kid in school,
13
but being good at taking tests is a lot different from being good at stringing together coherent thoughts
14
and articulating them to someone else.
15
I felt like I had to memorize entire books worth of information
16
so that I could recite it on the spot because I was trained to learn that way.
17
But now, over a decade later,
18
and without really trying to become articulate,
19
people ask me how I write and speak so well.
20
Now, I'm my own worst critic.
21
I don't think I'm the best writer or speaker at all.
22
But over the past six years of me doing this,
23
millions of people have chosen to hit the follow or subscribe button on my social accounts,
24
newsletter, and YouTube channel.
25
I'm not an entertainer.
26
I'm not that funny.
27
I'm actually quite boring, which I like.
28
I wouldn't even say that my content is eloquent or revolutionary.
29
I can, however, attribute most of
30
that success to being able to articulate valuable ideas in a way that people are drawn to.
31
And that's not very difficult to do.
32
So maybe you're a new creator who wants to stand out.
33
Maybe you're going on a podcast and don't want to stumble over your words
34
because you don't have a script when you're on a podcast.
35
Maybe you want to command respect in a company meeting or a sales call.
36
Or maybe you just want to be a more interesting person.
37
Now I have three methods that I want to share with you that will help you articulate yourself more intelligently.
38
And I've ordered them from beginner or two advanced so that you can practice and you can get started right now.
39
These are the methods that I use when it's time to speak
40
or when it's time to write or when it's time to write a CV for a job application,
41
if that's something that you're going to do,
42
or when you're just trying to explain yourself in an argument and get your point across.
43
But there's something more important to that that has to come before because you need something to articulate.
44
So first, we need to build our inner album of greatest hits.
45
If you want to articulate yourself intelligently,
46
you need a pool of eight to ten of your biggest ideas that can be connected to almost any topic.
47
Then, when it's time to write or speak in any situation,
48
you have a starting point that you've already thought through hundreds of times before.
49
I've been getting invited onto more podcasts,
50
but these aren't the types of podcasts that I was invited onto as a beginner.
51
When you're a beginner, you kind of just get on the podcast with a friend.
52
He asks you some questions.
53
He's trying to build the podcast and need someone to come onto the episode.
54
And it's just a good way of,
55
I guess, like making friends or making connections.
56
But now getting into, I guess,
57
the big leagues, quote unquote,
58
where people spend thousands to tens of thousands of dollars on the production quality of their actual podcast,
59
that's nerve wracking.
60
And there's a lot on the line.
61
And since hundreds of thousands of people may be tuning in to listen to that podcast,
62
I feel like I need to provide a ton of value.
63
I better be able to articulate myself.
64
Now, I'm not the best podcast guest yet,
65
not by a long shot.
66
If you watch any of the podcasts that I'm on,
67
it's definitely not as articulate as this YouTube video because Devin's in control of the editing here.
68
I'm in control of the key points.
69
I get to choose what I'm talking about.
70
It's kind of premeditated, but when you're on a podcast,
71
sometimes they give you the outline,
72
but usually you're just riffing.
73
When I listen back to the podcasts that I do go on,
74
after I listen to them,
75
I'm just like kicking myself because I knew that I could have responded to certain questions better.
76
And that leads to the exact problem.
77
I've written two books.
78
I've written hundreds of newsletters.
79
I've created hundreds of YouTube videos.
80
I've written thousands of social posts.
81
It's obvious to me which ideas are the most valuable.
82
It's obvious which ideas have led to the most DMs of people telling me that that idea changed their life.
83
It's obvious that I really only have eight to ten big ideas that illustrate the value that my brand provides.
84
I've spent countless hours refining those ideas.
85
I wake up in the morning and write for two hours.
86
And they're usually has something to do with those eight to 10 big ideas.
87
Those are the ideas people want to hear.
88
Those are the ideas that introduce new listeners to who I am.
89
But that's my biggest mental hurdle.
90
I don't want to sound like I'm repeating myself.
91
So when I get on a podcast or when I'm asked to speak in front of a crowd,
92
I avoid saying the things that I've already said well.
93
My mind kind of goes blank
94
and I feel like I have to force something out just to avoid having an awkwardly long pause.
95
It's like I want to to somehow have this mind-blowing idea on the spot when I know that's not how ideas work.
96
Ideas require time to dissect and explore.
97
They have to be a part of you.
98
Jordan Peterson, regardless of your opinion,
99
is known for his articulation.
100
It's captivating when you listen to him.
101
Why?
102
If you look at his body of work, it's obvious.
103
He has a body of work.
104
If you wish to articulate yourself and you do not have a body of work
105
that is continuing to be refined and continues to grow,
106
then you have a of work to do before you can actually be naturally articulate.
107
Now a question to further hammer this home.
108
Why do you listen to your favorite musician?
109
Because they have a specific sound or style that you enjoy.
110
Most of their music sounds the same with slight variations here and there.
111
You can listen to a few seconds of their song and know exactly which artist plays it.
112
If an EDM artist immediately decided to switch to country music,
113
their first track would be horrible,
114
as most first iterations are,
115
and most of their audience would not like it.
116
The same applies to being a creator,
117
a speaker, a writer, or just a person who wants to be able to articulate themselves.
118
You need to write or speak thousands of times until your best ideas are obvious.
119
By nature, you must repeat yourself because the most important ideas deserve to be repeated,
120
and how else are you going to refine them?
121
Now, you can think of these big ideas as tweets, right?
122
These are the big ideas that you use when it's time to speak.
123
So in my own writing,
124
I have a few topics or content pillars that I go to all the time.
125
These are the things that I write about.
126
It's like the one-person business model,
127
lifestyle design, how to get what you want in life,
128
how to master your mind,
129
and now I'm talking more about AI.
130
For each of those content pillars,
131
I have just a few,
132
a handful of tweets that I've written that hit hard and have been validated by the market.
133
They get a lot of engagement,
134
and they're just good ideas.
135
Now, when I think about it and when I actually study how a podcast guest responds to the host,
136
the best speakers don't answer the question that the podcast host asks directly.
137
They don't say, um, well, good question.
138
Let me think about this for a bit.
139
Oh yeah.
140
And then they go on.
141
That's not what they do.
142
Instead, they just speak their best idea,
143
the best idea that relates to that question with confidence,
144
and then they expand on it with a few supporting points.
145
Now, not only does this keep the listener engaged,
146
leading to the podcast doing better and then more podcasts wanting you to have on increasing your success,
147
but it's also a clippable moment.
148
So if that idea has already gone viral or has been validated when it's clipped and posted on social media,
149
it's going to again, and that's only going to compound your success more.
150
If you've watched any podcasts with Alex Tormozzi,
151
you know that he's very good at this.
152
So if a podcast host were to ask him,
153
what's the greatest skill that someone can learn right now?
154
Hormozy could say, oh, learn sales or learn offer creation,
155
but he understands that there are levels to this game.
156
So he would probably respond with his literal second most viral tweet,
157
which is,
158
the single greatest skill you can develop is the ability to
159
stay in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about.
160
That's very eloquent.
161
That's a great quote that has nothing to do with actual like skill acquisition that's on people's minds.
162
So that's a pattern interrupt as well.
163
So by Hormozy just making the decision to say that idea,
164
he sets himself and the podcast host up for a very interesting conversation on a topic
165
that he's probably very fresh on and can talk about nonstop.
166
And not to mention that tweet has 105,000 likes.
167
So when it's clipped, that simple decision from Hormozy to actually say
168
that idea is going to pay back tenfold because it's going to go viral again.
169
So all of that makes sense.
170
But how do you actually start practicing this?
171
Once you have a few ideas that you're ready to articulate,
172
how do you actually articulate them, right?
173
Because that's also a part of the process of getting these ideas right.
174
So I'm not just giving you frameworks for how to articulate yourself.
175
I'm giving you frameworks for tweets or social posts or something that could potentially go viral.
176
So that's what we need to talk about is the three methods to articulate yourself intelligently.
177
If you don't know what to learn, start writing.
178
Not because writing is some shortcut you can't stop looking for,
179
but because writing teaches you how to think,
180
how to learn, and how to inspire people to care about what you do.
181
Now, I call myself a writer,
182
but I wouldn't actually consider myself one.
183
I don't care about grammar.
184
I don't care about how clever I sound most of the time.
185
And when I start paying too much attention to being more clever,
186
my articulation tends to suffer a lot.
187
I also don't care if my sentences run on or if I don't say something the best way it could be said.
188
This actually helps me stand out against AI.
189
My writing isn't that polished.
190
Yet, as I said before,
191
millions of people have chosen to hit the follow or subscribe button because they found some form of value in that writing.
192
Now, throughout my journey as a writer,
193
I've realized that writing is so much more than writing.
194
It's not only just putting letters on a page.
195
If you want to become articulate,
196
you should probably start writing.
197
That is, you should start writing intentionally because you already write every single day.
198
You text your family and friends,
199
you email your prospects, clients,
200
and co-workers, and depending on your work,
201
you may write project outlines, feedback, proposals, and more.
202
If you really think about it,
203
the foundation of media, which is how you
204
or your employer gets your work in front of other people
205
and persuades them to care about your work so you can survive and get paid, is writing.
206
Now, media has evolved.
207
If you want to succeed in any venture,
208
you must go where the attention is.
209
Right now, most of the attention is on social media,
210
YouTube, podcasts and advertisements like Facebook ads,
211
all of which require you to articulate persuasively in the form of video scripts,
212
posts, sales copywriting, post captions,
213
and anywhere else that someone is reading a written post or spoken script,
214
which is nearly everything.
215
That's personally why I write one to two hours every morning.
216
It's because that's the foundation of literally my survival and everything I do.
217
If I don't write on social media or my newsletter or YouTube script or emails to prospects,
218
how am I going to ever get a customer for my own work?
219
That's why I created Two Hour Writer.
220
That's my writing system.
221
But by writing, that's how you practice articulating your ideas from the start.
222
It's like a first draft,
223
and then you refine it,
224
and then you practice speaking it,
225
and then you get really good at it.
226
And as a bonus, by posting your ideas in public,
227
you get direct feedback in the form of engagement so that you know which ideas are the most impactful.
228
And building an audience from that also doesn't hurt.
229
So with that said, how do you actually start practicing articulation in the form of writing?
230
That's what we're going to do is we're going to start with writing.
231
So here are three frameworks.
232
The first is beginner level,
233
and I'm calling it the micro story because the human mind is a story engine.
234
Humans can't help but pay attention to a story,
235
especially if it's short and impactful.
236
Once you learn how to do it well,
237
you can effectively short circuit someone's brain into being interested in the topic you were talking about.
238
The foundation of a story is transformation.
239
This does not have to be a transformation about a specific
240
person a transformation can be as simple as introducing a problem and giving a solution.
241
And that's exactly what this is.
242
So if you want to make that a bit more impactful,
243
being able to just write a tiny,
244
tiny story that isn't necessarily about a character or anything,
245
it's just a transformation, then you structure it like this.
246
You start with a problem.
247
So you state a relatable problem or pain point that you've observed or experienced before.
248
Then you amplify the problem.
249
So you illustrate how that problem leads to a negative outcome if it is not solved.
250
And then you give a solution.
251
So you state the solution to the problem and in something like a short social media post,
252
this can be one sentence or a short bullet point list.
253
In a long newsletter or script,
254
this can be all of the key points with their explanations.
255
The problem in amplification would account for the hook.
256
So this section of the video would be the solution section of the micro story framework
257
because I'm just going through the key points of how to actually solve the problem of not being able to articulate yourself.
258
Now, if you've studied copywriting at all,
259
you've seen this framework before.
260
It's called the PAS framework.
261
And after six years of doing this, that's still my go-to.
262
If I'm just like lost and don't know what to talk about,
263
how to articulate it, whatever,
264
I just go to this framework,
265
PAS, start with the problem.
266
Okay, what's a problem?
267
You don't know how to articulate yourself.
268
Okay, how do you amplify that?
269
What does that lead to down the road?
270
You won't get the girl.
271
You won't land the job.
272
You won't be able to start your own business.
273
You're going to live in your mom's basement for the rest of your life.
274
Okay, what's the solution?
275
Use the PAS framework.
276
That's a tweet.
277
It would actually probably do pretty good.
278
You could expand that into a newsletter.
279
You can turn that into a YouTube video.
280
Or you can say it on a podcast.
281
When someone says, what's the greatest skill to learn?
282
You say articulation.
283
Why?
284
Because most people don't know how to articulate themselves.
285
Go into the amplify solution.
286
Do you see what I'm getting at?
287
Now, of course, with all of this,
288
this is assuming that you already have an idea to write about.
289
If you have an idea,
290
then just think of the problem.
291
What's the problem?
292
Okay, amplify it.
293
Okay, what's next?
294
Give the solution.
295
Boom.
296
And if you don't have an idea,
297
you need to hunt for them.
298
You need to read old books,
299
go down rabbit holes on a topic,
300
listen to a new podcast,
301
or just sit with your thoughts and follow them until you reach a compelling insight.
302
When you hunt for an idea,
303
you aren't just letting the information go in one ear and out the other.
304
You are listening intently for an idea that you wish you wrote.
305
Then you jot it down so you don't lose it.
306
Then you articulate it in your own words using these frameworks so it takes a new shape.
307
Now, the intermediate framework is called the Pyramid Principle.
308
The Pyramid Principle is a communication framework that structures ideas in a hierarchical,
309
logical way to make information more palatable and persuasive.
310
And it's pretty simple.
311
You start with the main idea,
312
the key conclusion or recommendation.
313
You support it with key arguments,
314
usually three to five key points.
315
You provide detailed evidence, so data, examples, or analysis.
316
And unlike most content today
317
that waits to give you the answer until the end of the video or newsletter or whatever it is,
318
this takes an answer-first approach.
319
Now this works perfectly with the example from before with Hormozy,
320
where if his answer to the question,
321
what is the greatest skill you can learn,
322
is the ability to stay in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about,
323
that can serve as the top of the pyramid.
324
You're not starting with a problem.
325
You're not starting with anything else.
326
You're starting with the idea, the conclusion, the answer.
327
Then he could support that argument or
328
that idea with key arguments as to why he thinks that's the best skill to learn.
329
All you have to do is ask why three to five times and come up with a compelling answer.
330
And then after that, he can give examples from his own life,
331
data about being in a great mood if he has the data
332
or statistics on hand or just anecdotes from people in his life or clients or customers.
333
I've also seen this framework be used in YouTube videos as well.
334
If you are scrolling the YouTube timeline,
335
try to pay attention to this.
336
Try to notice these frameworks.
337
You'll see some titles that just state the problem.
338
You'll notice some titles that just state like a really big idea.
339
And once you understand these frameworks,
340
you can just see them everywhere.
341
So for the pyramid principle,
342
you start with a great idea,
343
you make an argument about it,
344
and then you support it with data.
345
Now, if you struggle to continue writing or speaking
346
or you just get stuck or feel like you have writer's block or speaker's block,
347
this next framework is really going to help.
348
But this is the advanced framework,
349
which is just cross-domain synthesis.
350
And this one is my favorite because I have multiple interests.
351
It's hard for me to stick to one topic or niche.
352
I want to weave things in, right?
353
I'm reading things throughout the week.
354
I'm watching videos throughout the week.
355
I'm studying new things throughout the week.
356
I want to incorporate those in my life somehow beyond just like consuming information.
357
I love studying psychology, philosophy,
358
health, business, design, tech, and really anything that gives me the tools to live a better life.
359
So this framework is how I tend to structure most of my newsletters,
360
not all of them, but most,
361
and outside of the ones where I'm just focused on a
362
singular tactical topic like this one where I'm just teaching something to do.
363
So here's the framework.
364
First is problem and amplify.
365
Your introduction should state a relatable problem and illustrate what happens if that problem is not solved.
366
Second is cross-domain synthesis, so you know patterns or concepts from your other interests that help support your argument.
367
If I'm talking about deep work,
368
I can use the concept of entropy from physics to illustrate how distractions work.
369
This teaches my audience something new,
370
and I can sleep well knowing that all other deep work content out there does not do this.
371
And third, you have a unique process or solution,
372
so you give a list of ideas or steps that best solve the problem you introduced at the beginning,
373
solidifying the transformation.
374
These should come from your own contemplation rather than someone else's prescription.
375
What I mean there is you should actually think through,
376
okay, what is the best way to solve the problem and reach the solution rather than,
377
okay, I watched this YouTube video.
378
He had a good solution.
379
He had a good how-to or step-by-step advice.
380
I'm going to take that and put it in mind.
381
So in practice, let's say you're writing a newsletter with this
382
or an article or a Twitter thread or an Instagram carousel
383
or a YouTube video script or something longer form so that you can articulate for 10 to 20 minutes.
384
So you'd have the title of your piece,
385
the introduction with the problem,
386
a section that teaches a concept from another interest or discipline,
387
then a unique way to solve the problem in the form of multiple sections describing each key point.
388
Now the problem here is that this leads to something very long,
389
like a newsletter, book chapter,
390
YouTube video, or even a solo podcast.
391
And if you're just starting out,
392
you'll be staring at a blank screen because you don't know how to fill in each section.
393
Now luckily, writing is like Legos with ideas,
394
and ideas come in predictable forms.
395
If you understand those forms,
396
you can guide your mind to brainstorming what to write next.
397
And here are a few easy ones.
398
You can use a pain point.
399
So if I don't know how to start a section,
400
I start with a relevant pain point and ideas start to flow from there.
401
There's an example.
402
So once I've started a section,
403
you can throw an example in anywhere.
404
This grounds what you're saying.
405
You can use a personal story.
406
So think to a time in your life that relates to what you're writing about.
407
This can go anywhere.
408
You can use a statistic.
409
So research a truthful statistic that adds more authority to your point.
410
You can use a metaphor.
411
So explain a complex idea as if you're talking to a child.
412
Alan Watts is incredible at this.
413
You can use a quote where you include a quote that justifies what you're saying.
414
Quotes are easy because they're almost always great ideas.
415
You can use a reframe.
416
So give people a different perspective on the point you just discussed.
417
Or you can just ask what, how, or why.
418
Because when all else fails,
419
writing and speaking are just thinking and thinking is questioning.
420
So if you didn't screenshot those,
421
you probably should because that's like, those are the Legos.
422
Writing is Legos with ideas,
423
and those are the Legos that you piece together to articulate sentence after sentence or paragraph after paragraph.
424
And if I don't know what to write or what to say next,
425
I tend to cycle through those in my head or latch onto the closest one and then give that.
426
And once you get the hang of this,
427
as with any skill, it becomes second nature and your thinking process starts to evolve.
428
I hope that was helpful enough to get you started.
429
I would highly recommend joining the paid tier of my sub stack.
430
If you scroll through and look at the paid posts,
431
there are many drills and techniques and courses on writing and marketing and business and everything that we talked about today.
432
So check those out, like,
433
and subscribe before you leave because they're just a button click,
434
and I'll see you in the next video.
435
Bye.

- 「articulate」 - 発音が難しいこの単語は、特に「アーティキュレイト」と発音されることが多いです。正しく発音するために練習しましょう。
- 「intelligent」 - この単語は英語の発音で「インテリジェント」と軽快に発音されがちですが、滑らかに言えるように繰り返し練習することが重要です。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
