If I had to pick just one social skill to have it a 10 out of 10, it'd be the one in this video.

It can make you rich and famous all on its own, and it's also the one that lets you connect on a date

or stand out in an interview or hold the attention of an entire room.

And it's actually something that I did for 24% of my speaking time in my Diary of a CEO interview,

which sounds great until you realize that the highly charismatic Matthew McConaughey did it for 47% of the time in his interview,

which is twice as much as me.

So, what is this skill?

Well, it's storytelling.

My dad's at a ranch one time with his friends.

It's late at night, they're sitting out in the bar and drinking and stuff, and all of a sudden the subject comes up of how high everybody can pee.

Little Mr. Texas.

Six years ago, I said, well, let me just zoom in on this picture.

I look at the trophy, and it says, runner-up, Little Mr. Texas.

I've got three things to my account that I need each day.

You considered becoming a monk.

I had talked to a good friend of mine, Brother Christian at Monastery Christ in the Desert.

His opinion was, no, no, no, that is not what you're here to do.

You're a communicator.

You're a storyteller.

Now, I've said this before, and I'm sure that I will say it again.

Storytelling is inception.

It allows you to communicate with a person's unconscious mind.

You're actually bypassing the rational part that evaluates facts and figures, and you're speaking directly to the part that actually makes big decisions.

For instance, the intro story of the 4-Hour Workweek, which is Tim Ferriss in a tango competition, I remember it to this day, made me quit my job as a consultant and become an entrepreneur.

That story and the others in the 4-Hour Workweek completely altered the course of my life and made me start this channel.

So storytelling is a superpower for creating transformation, not to mention just being a great way to captivate people.

And that's why I want to take you through an example of an incredibly well-told story from Matthew McConaughey.

McConaughey.

I'm going to explain the key things that he's doing so that you can use them to shine on your next date, interview, friend hangout, or business presentation.

And I know that most of you don't need to hear this, but just a caveat.

Do not tell stories that pretend to be true, but aren't.

Stories really do move people, and moving them towards a lie can be truly damaging.

So let's begin with the thing that kills many stories before they even start the hook.

Let me tell you one in Africa.

The hook is what gathers attention at the onset.

And to be fair, this isn't Matthew's best, but he's an hour and 10 minutes into this podcast.

So he's already got the audience's attention.

When you tell stories, though, you need a first line that grabs the group's attention.

Something like this.

That I had that 4 a.m in my solitude on my own truth

that hit me lands like a butterfly and strikes like a lightning bolt at the same time.

The good news is that you don't need anything complicated for your hook

and there's actually one that works in any situation and that is oh you're gonna love this.

If you say

that at the beginning of a story you will immediately notice the other person perk up

but you need to follow that with the rest of these tips to make sure that you're actually delivering on your promise.

And that brings us back to Matthew.

This next piece is why you need a good hook

because it's often the least interesting part of the story but you have to set the scene.

Watch Matthew do it.

Me and my guide who's a buddy and Iisa were hiking from village to village in the Banjigara.

Each village is 10 to 15 miles away.

I went over there needing my anonymity under the name of David.

I said I was a writer and a boxer.

Well, they called me Dauda.

They didn't give a damn about the writing part, but they were very interested in the wrestling part.

So each village I would go to started to catch up to me, like strong white men named Dauda, and they love to wrestle over there.

They love to wrestle.

It's kind of a form of entertainment.

The boys just walk up and start wrestling.

I get to this one village one night, Benji Amatu.

A well-set scene gives the audience enough to imagine what's happening in their mind's eye, and importantly, it gets them guessing what's coming next.

So if Matthew did his job, you should be thinking, okay, I feel like this wrestling thing is going to be important.

Now, the audience doesn't have to guess correctly, but it is a huge issue if you set them up to guess totally wrong.

I saw this at a party recently where everyone was asked to tell a story.

So one person is telling a story about a bad date, and the setup focuses on this guy who says that he's from one country in the Middle East, but is actually speaking in a full New York accent.

And I could see that everyone around was hooked, guessing, is this guy a CIA agent?

Has he got some sort of like secret double life that we're going to find out about?

No. The story is that he was just rude on the date.

And I could see everyone was deflated when the story finished because they'd been set up to see something irrelevant.

So a rule of thumb if you're struggling here.

You want to set up your story in less than 30 seconds and only include details that will pay off later.

So let's watch the payoff of the wrestling mentions in Matthew's story.

I'm laying there.

It's a 14-mile hike to get there.

I'm laying on the ground stretching.

Villages all kind of come up around.

They're talking and chattering.

And all of a sudden, I hear this chatter, and it's sort of at me.

I can just hear it.

And I look up, and it's these two boys that are about 18, and they're boom, boom, boom, popping at me.

And I can be like, and I know enough in the tone.

I don't know what they're saying because they're speaking in Bombada.

I'm like, are they talking to me?

And he goes, yes.

They say that they are the best wrestlers in the village and they are challenging you to wrestling that.

So I was like, oh, they are.

So we now arrive at the most important part of any story, and that is the emotional roller coaster.

Good stories need that high emotional contrast.

You've got good to bad to good again, or terrible day to incredible turnaround.

To be clear, this is not about how good or bad things are.

objectively.

It's about how intensely the audience feels that roller coaster.

I have seen stories with amazing content land horribly

because people don't know how to make the audience feel the intensity of that coaster.

And I've seen stories with totally mid-content absolutely crush.

And Matthew has some really neat tricks for making us feel this ride even more intensely, the most important of which is embodiment.

Watch how Matthew goes into the characters that he plays.

He adopts their accent, and he gesticulates to increase the tension.

100

He also speaks in the present tense.

101

I'm going to mark all of these examples on the side of the screen, but try not to get too distracted because I really just want you to feel the effect here.

102

Well, they sure are talking a lot.

103

I go, I don't know if they mean it.

104

Y'all have this thing over here?

105

We have a thing in America where if someone talks too much, they really don't mean it.

106

He goes, yes, we have this.

107

We have this.

108

And just as that happens, you hear the crowd scream.

109

And I look up and the two boys, bam, runoff.

110

Why?

111

Because the real champion wrestler of the village, Michel.

112

Five foot nine, tree trunk legs, about 220, burlap bag wrapped with a rope around his waist.

113

He showed up.

114

He doesn't say a word.

115

He just stands over me, points to me, points to himself, and points over here.

116

I look over where he's pointing and there's a big dirt pit.

117

My heart starts racing.

118

There's the challenge.

119

So every detail that Matthew shared emphasizes

120

that emotional turn from cocky dude about to show these kids who's boss all the way to, oh shit.

121

That is the emotional roller coaster, high to low, and it's a great start.

122

Now, as he continues, pay attention to the direction the coaster continues to go,

123

and also listen to how sharing his internal monologue creates stakes that make the ride feel more intense.

124

Again, this is a great thing to do in your own story, so pausing to say things like, so I'm thinking, oh shit, this is bad, work really well.

125

Watch it here.

126

As my heart's beating going, oh no, I start to get up.

127

Because as this ear saying, oh no, I'm hearing in this ear, if you don't, you will regret this for the rest of your life.

128

You've got to go do it.

129

This would at least be a great story to tell.

130

So I get up.

131

Village goes crazy.

132

Oh, about 80 people have gathered now.

133

The chief comes out.

134

I'm standing in the middle of the pit going, I'm not sure how this is supposed to go.

135

What are the rules?

136

Chief puts his hands on her heads.

137

Michelle grabs me by the waist, mimics to me.

138

I grab him by the waist.

139

Then he burrows his forehead down into my clavicle here

140

and I burrow mine into his so now we're like two bulls like this

141

and the chief puts his hands on our head

142

and then raises them and goes stop

143

and the crowd goes wild ding ding is what stop meant

144

so we start going around man

145

so now we're in the thick of the story the scene is set stakes are established

146

and Matthew is about to play with pacing pacing is how steep

147

that coaster is and for some parts you want

148

that fast downward shoot to just rip people through

149

so increase your pace

150

when you want the audience to feel out of control usually like the protagonist

151

and at other parts though you want that audience hanging in anticipation it's like

152

that first drop at the top of that first hill when

153

that chain on the coaster stops

154

and you're looking down holding your breath this is an advanced move

155

so just watch how matthew does it so we start going I'm going around, man, and I'm thinking, okay, I get some leverage on this guy.

156

Legs are like tree chunks.

157

I'm like, oh, I ain't getting him down low.

158

Through a scrappling, grab a boom.

159

I get him over, bam, flip him on his back.

160

He flips me back over.

161

I backflip him off my back and somersault him.

162

He comes in, gets me in a frickin' leg lock that I can barely breathe from.

163

I almost got a tap out from.

164

I shimmy to that thing.

165

All of a sudden, Chief comes in and separates us.

166

I'm hyperventilating, man.

167

Crowd's going crazy.

168

He's got to split Michelle on this side and me on this side.

169

These talismans that were in my beard, two of them got torn out during the wrestling match.

170

Got blood running down me here.

171

My knees are bleeding.

172

My ankles are bleeding.

173

I'm hyperventilated and covered in sweat.

174

I look over at Michelle, who's just staring at me going, barely a glisten on him.

175

And that's when the chief goes, and I go, oh shit, here we go.

176

Now, I want to pause here because you just saw one of the best storytelling tactics and the most underused.

177

I would legitimately put this at like the number two slot for things that you want to use regularly.

178

and it is the false end.

179

This is when you've told a story so well that it could be over and the audience would be satisfied, but it actually gets more intense.

180

In video games, this is the boss fight with multiple phases.

181

In keynote speeches, this is Steve Jobs saying, and one more thing, and then the audience goes crazy.

182

So the way you set this up is

183

that you spend all of your storytelling ammunition on the second most crazy part of the story.

184

That's Matthew really slowing down to talk about how he's out of breath.

185

He's bleeding from his chin.

186

And it would be even better if he gave us this internal monologue of like, thank God, that was the hardest thing I ever did.

187

And then the chief says, round two, go.

188

People go wild for false endings.

189

It can completely make a story if you hit this note right.

190

Back to Matthew now.

191

Watch how the emotional coaster starts its climb back up.

192

Crows my waist, bop, bop, burls his head.

193

I burrow my head, we're off.

194

Goes around again, pretty damn good match.

195

Strong, I flipped him, he pinned me, we got up, got moving.

196

All of a sudden, Chief comes in and separates us.

197

Raises both our hands.

198

The crowd goes crazy.

199

As soon as he lowers our hands, Michelle runs off.

200

Everyone sees him go, and they come in and grab me and put Jimmy on their shoulders.

201

Da-da, da-da, da-da.

202

I go over, now I'm a big man in the village, which means they give me the best chair that has the least broken straw in the seat,

203

which means the village boy finds me the biggest chicken and plucks it and they cook it for dinner for me, which means they take me to the cleanest spot in the river.

204

I come back at night, we eat, I get on the roof of the hut.

205

What a magical day.

206

I lay back, I see the Southern Cross for the first time in the sky.

207

Like it was a neon light on a black backdrop.

208

It was, you could not see it.

209

It was so bright, staring me right in the face.

210

I laid there, 30 minutes, saw 29 shooting stars.

211

I'm going, I might have a direct line.

212

I might be the chosen one.

213

So now we've got the full arc from good to bad to worse to better to amazing

214

and everything Matthew has done is in service of making that roller coaster ride feel more intense, higher highs, lower lows, but you still want to end with a bang

215

and usually this means a laugh or a lesson and Matthew hits both.

216

Just as I'm about to shut my eyes I got a little in my throat so I sit up

217

I'm gonna spit out off the top of the roof.

218

Loogie plastered to my face.

219

I forgot I'd put my mosquito net on.

220

So we get that last laugh and one more reversal.

221

We've done tons of video and comedy, so I won't go too slow here.

222

But then Matthew also adds an epilogue that gives us the lesson, the moral.

223

And this is what changes a story from pure entertainment to a tool for transformation.

224

Here's Matthews, and it happens the next day when he's talking to another villager. So we

225

covered a lot.

226

We covered hooks, scene, embodiment, pacing, endings, and of course, the emotional rollercoaster ride that drives the entire story.

227

But there's actually something that is more important than all of these, and it is the confidence to tell a story in the first place.

228

Because almost never does someone say, hey, tell me a story.

229

Instead, your opportunities are going to look way more like this.

230

If you had aimed for something to be perfect, and then it delivered itself as perfect exactly how you had imagined, if at all possible, would that have made you happy?

231

I don't know.

232

You're right.

233

What do you mean to you, Scott?

234

Both, probably.

235

Because, look, I've had moments.

236

Let me tell you one in Africa.

237

In charisma terms, this is where Matthew truly won.

238

This is where he accepted the challenge.

239

He took the type of question

240

that could have easily been answered in a single sentence and turned it into a nine-minute story.

241

That takes real confidence.

242

Because a lot of us, myself included, feel like we constantly need to be maximally efficient in our communication.

243

So we'd say something like, oh yeah, I went to Africa and wrestled a guy to a draw.

244

Same core information, but we've built no connection to the audience.

245

And that efficiency loses so much value.

246

Because not only did Matthew entertain us, but he also communicated things about himself that would be really weird to say outright.

247

He communicated that he's courageous.

248

He communicated that he's strong.

249

And he communicated that even though he's got an ego, he can still laugh at himself.

250

And he did it all in a way that the audience is not going to reject.

251

Even better, he communicated something to the audience that may change them.

252

That you aren't a big man when you win and a small man when you lose.

253

You are a big man when you accept the challenge.

254

That's inception.

255

So my challenge to you today is to take one thing

256

that you normally would just say in a sentence and put it into a story form.

257

For instance, if someone at work normally asks you when you enter, hey, how you doing?

258

Or how was your weekend?

259

Tell a short story instead of just saying it was good.

260

Now, learning to do this more often will have a huge benefit in so many areas.

261

Because whether you're on a first date or you're hanging out with new friends or you're in an interview, stories let you communicate the great things about you without coming across as grandiose

262

and usually in a way that the other person accepts much more readily.

263

And if you wanted to get some other challenges

264

that will help you crush those kinds of first impression moments

265

or sustain a high level of confidence in your personal professional life, you might be interested in our course, Charisma University.

266

It's our 30-day program that is the fastest way

267

that I have to help you take your charisma and confidence to the next level.

268

Here's what just a few students have to say about it.

269

I remember when I was first looking at the videos and I wasn't as confident as I could have been.

270

I wasn't very social and I didn't think that I made the best first impressions.

271

Since doing the course a couple of years ago, a couple of awesome things have happened.

272

At the end of one of my interview days, the doctor came to me and pulled me aside and said

273

that I hands down had the best interview out of everybody and that they would love to have me at their program.

274

They rank me number one and it's my current job.

275

My medical school friends describe me as the charismatic guy.

276

And another, I had confidence in some areas but not in others.

277

Then Charisma on Command University changed that for me.

278

Since beginning the program, I have seen noticeable changes in my everyday life.

279

This helped me unlock the confidence that comes with knowing that I can go into any social situation and crush it.

280

Plus, one bonus, because I think this is a key point, Charisma on Command University costs less than half the price of one course at my college,

281

but has had a far bigger impact on me than any traditional class I've enrolled in.

282

Now, the course comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose if you want to give it a try, and I hope that you do.

283

but either way, I hope that you've enjoyed this video and I look forward to seeing you in the next one.

이 비디오에서 배울 수 있는 3가지 실전 영어 회화 기술

이 영상은 '스토리텔링'이라는 사회적 기술의 힘을 강조하며, 영어로 이야기를 잘하는 방법을 알려줍니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹이나 비즈니스 프레젠테이션에서 필수적인 관객 주의 집중법, 이야기의 구조 설계, 진실성 유지라는 3가지 기술을 배울 수 있습니다. 스토리텔링은 단순히 재미있는 이야기를 하는 것이 아니라, 상대방의 무의식에 직접 다가가 변화를 일으키는 강력한 도구로 설명됩니다.

듣고 주목해야 할 연속 발음 현상

영상 속 대화에서는 자연스러운 영어 발음의 특징인 연결 발음과 축약 발음이 많이 등장합니다. 예를 들어 "it'd be"는 /ɪt d biː/가 아니라 /ɪtbiː/로 연결되며, "don't need"는 /doʊnt niːd/가 아니라 /doʊn niːd/로 축약됩니다. 또한 "Matthew McConaughey"와 같은 이름은 빠르게 발음할 때 "Matthew McConaughey"가 /mæθjuː məkəˈnɔːhi/로 발음되며, 마지막 음절이 약화되는 것을 확인할 수 있습니다. 이런 연속 발음은 영상 영어 공부를 할 때 특히 주의해야 하며, shadow speech를 통해 반복 연습하면 자연스러운 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다.

원어민처럼 말하는 리듬과 강세

원어민처럼 스토리텔링을 하기 위해서는 리듬과 강세가 중요합니다. 영상에서 Matthew McConaughey는 이야기를 시작할 때 "Let me tell you one in Africa."와 같이 짧고 강렬한 문장으로 주목을 받은 후, 세부적인 장면을 묘사할 때는 느린 리듬을 사용하여 긴장감을 높입니다. 또한 "butterfly and strikes like a lightning bolt"와 같은 구에서는 "lightning bolt"에 강세를 두어 중요한 내용을 강조합니다. 영어 발음 교정 시 이런 리듬과 강세를 모방하는 연습을 하면, 상대방의 주의를 끌고 이야기를 더 생동감 있게 전달할 수 있습니다. 특히 인터뷰나 데이트에서 이 기술을 사용하면, 단순한 대화 이상의 연결을 만들 수 있습니다.

스토리텔링은 영어 회화 뿐만 아니라 모든 사회적 상황에서 유용한 기술입니다. 영상에서 제시된 방법을 shadow speech로 반복 연습하고, 실제 상황에서 적용해 보세요. 진실한 이야기와 자연스러운 발음이 결합될 때, 가장 강력한 커뮤니케이션이 이루어집니다.

이 영상의 문법

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
조건문 if + 절, will/would + 동사 — 조건과 그 결과	if you don't, you will regret · if at all possible, would that
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	I've said · have seen · I've seen
수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점	was asked · was deflated · is set
관계절 who / which + 절 — 사람이나 사물에 대한 추가 정보	Workweek, which is · guy who says · village, which means

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
