I'm going to tap out a song on the table

and I want you to guess what it is and tell me in the comments.

And while you're typing, I'm going to give you some context.

Back in the 90s, a Stanford psychologist named Elizabeth Newton gathered a bunch of people for an experiment.

She assigned one group as the tappers and one group as the listeners.

The tappers were given a well -known song, such as Happy Birthday to You, which is the song that I tapped out.

I'm curious if you got that right.

And the listener then had to guess what the song was.

Do you know how often the listener got the song correct?

2 .5 % of the time.

This was shocking to the tappers, who before they started had predicted the listener would guess the song 50 % of the time.

So why was there such a gap between what the tappers thought they were communicating and what the listener actually understood?

Well, the tappers had been given the knowledge, the song, which made it impossible for them to imagine what it was like to lack that knowledge.

When the tappers were tapping out their song, they were hearing it in their head.

They assumed that because it was obvious to them, it would be obvious to the listener but the listener just heard a random assortment of bangs.

And this is exactly what happens with knowledge.

See, as someone learns more about something, they get further and further away from the core of that knowledge.

In this process, they unknowingly lose sight of what a general audience knows or cares to know.

So when someone communicates, they're not communicating for you to understand them, they're just communicating to tell you what they know.

You've probably experienced this at parties.

Someone starts to tell a story and instead of getting straight to the point, they tell you a bunch of irrelevant information first.

So this happened in 2003 or was it 2004?

It was whatever year Facebook launched.

Anyway, it was a sunny day.

I remember I was wearing a pair of white sneakers.

None of which has anything to do with the point of the story,

which is how they saw Obama do a backflip into the water off a bridge.

What's actually happening in the brain of this storyteller is an

inability to sort through the importance of each layer information from the perspective of the audience.

To the storyteller, it all feels important and relevant.

They were there, they can see it vividly.

Just like the tappers, they're hearing a song in their head that the listener can't.

But magnetic storytellers segment, package, and strategically deploy layers of their knowledge.

That's why people hang off their every word.

And that's exactly what I'm gonna teach you with this onion.

By the way, this is what I do.

I help experts become known for the idea they should own and then communicate them by building media platforms.

If you wanna sign up to hear more about it, I'm gonna leave a link in the description.

So the process is twofold.

Peel away the layers of the onion until you find the core

and then wrap it in something the audience actually wants to eat.

So then the question is, what is the core of the onion?

The core of the onion is the most critical, essential core of your knowledge.

My fingers are gonna smell so bad after this.

Strip down to a compact, profound message.

Ow!

It's about taking away all the irrelevant layers and asking yourself, if my audience was to take away just one thing,

what would I want that one thing to be?

This step alone is enough to defeat the curse of knowledge

because you stop trying to say everything you know and start trying just to make one thing stick.

I forgot that this happened with onions.

Whoops.

Okay, well, I had to stop filming because I couldn't stop crying and now it's tomorrow.

So let's just pretend I successfully peeled all the layers of

that onion away and we're gonna move to using this picture to continue the metaphor.

So this is the core.

This is the Obama back flipped off a bridge.

It's singular, distilled, important, and understandable by a general audience.

I want you to get a piece of paper and write down your core now.

Now you might think we're done, but no, because getting people to understand and getting people to remember are two very different things.

In step two, we wrap the core in something the human brain is wired to latch onto.

I'm gonna call this chocolate.

The wrapper is what gives your core a chance to travel.

It's the thing that makes an idea easy to remember and easy to repeat, and you are being fed wrappers left, right, and center.

It can be a story, a method, a name, a metaphor, a diagram, a demonstration, a slogan, an equation, a set of rules, or many more.

There's a whole science behind what makes a wrapper delicious to the human brain

so let me just show you some examples mel robbins her core idea is

when you feel hesitation before taking an action interrupt the thought with a countdown

and physically start moving helpful but not memorable

so she wrapped her core in this

so the five second rule is super simple five four three two one

now you don't need to understand behavioral psychology you just need to know how to count that's chocolate

or alex homozy his core idea is whether someone perceives an offer as valuable depends on multiple interacting factors.

Kind of boring.

So he wrapped it in.

The value equation.

Now it's a model you can remember and not just remember but simply apply to your own business.

This is the onion method.

Step one, peel the onion.

Find the one core message.

Try not to cry.

Step two, wrap it in chocolate.

Make it something people can remember and repeat.

If you're an expert or founder and you want your core message to not just spread but stick, that's what I help people do.

Find the idea you should be known for and then build a media platform around it.

I'm creating something right now that'll help people do exactly that.

So if you want to be the first to hear about it, I'll leave a link in the description.

Okay, bye.

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。
