The losers, the conversations that produced the worst connection, the most awkwardness were, what do you do?

Why?

So these last two, how are you and what do you do?

They're very socially scripted, right?

The moment we ask those questions, our brain goes into autopilot.

So there's a lack, it's more of a performance.

There's a lack of excitement in the conversation.

And they ran out of things to talk about.

They're fact -based questions.

And this is the trap of what we'll call level one conversation, which is you are trapped in fact.

Where are you from? got any kids, married, the facts are dead ends, right?

So it's very hard for someone to break out of that fact because they're stuck in that social script.

The best conversation starter was actually a sneaker.

I was like, well, interesting that this one did best by lot.

It was, what was the highlight of your day?

Now, what this question does psychologically, it sounds casual.

Well, first of all, it's not too deep.

A mistake that extroverts can make is they ask too deep, too quickly, right?

They're like, what is your greatest goal in life?

And you're like, I don't know you, right?

So it's not too deep, but it's a subtle replacement for how are you.

You're actually asking the other person's brain to search for optimism.

You're literally inviting their brain to think like, what was good?

And then they think, well, highlighted my day.

So one, we just broke autopilot.

The moment someone goes, oh, and they're thinking for the first time, their brain goes, ooh, we get to do something new.

So they got to think of something new, and it was immediate.

It wasn't like a too big of a question.

The second question was, have anything exciting you're working on?

This is kind of a subtle replacement for what do you do, right?

If someone likes what they do, they're going to talk about it, but they're going to reframe it in something exciting.

And if someone isn't defined by what they do, they're going to share something better.

The third question, very, very simple, was do you have any fun plans coming up?

These questions, the first three, are literally searching for good.

You're inviting the other person to only think about good things and we're juicing excitement from other parts of their life.

Now the fourth question, this fourth question, people either loved it or they hated it.

They either gave it a five, that was like the most connective thing I felt all week,

or a zero, and a zero wasn't even an option on my scale.

It was the question, what's your story?

Extroverts tend to default to that question because they want to go a little bit deeper.

But actually, that is a level three question.

It is way too advanced.

For someone who's introverted or someone who has never framed their story that quickly, they're immediately put into cortisol.

They're immediately put into fight or flight.

They're like, what's my story?

How can I give that to you so quickly?

So you're by accident putting them into conversational fear.

This is when I realized there's a hierarchy.

Dr. Dan McAdams found that conversation is actually not as fluid as we would like to think

that actually when we're trying to connect with someone else, we are trying to move through three distinct levels.

Level one is called general traits.

This is why in those first few minutes, you're basically trying to Google fact check someone.

Like, where are you from?

What do you do?

Married.

Where do you live in LA?

Right?

Like you're trying to ask all those questions because there's a sort of social hierarchy.

Our brain processes social facts from least intimate to most intimate.

So we cannot get to know someone on their deepest dreams and worries if we don't know the basic facts about them.

So that is why we often fall into that trap of those fact -based questions.

The key here is that really good level one question is taking those facts but adding story, but adding emotion.

So the best way to do level one better is you're swapping out those bad questions, right?

How are you?

What do you do?

With looking for a story.

I truly believe a fact is a stop sign.

A story is a doorway.

Okay, so one of them, we actually can place it on here, is what's your personal passion project, okay?

Now, what's your personal passion project is actually a hunt for stories, right?

And would you open with that?

Is that what you're saying?

Or is it doesn't really matter?

It has to come.

It can come in the first few minutes.

Now, I probably wouldn't walk into a room and be like, what's your personal passion project, Stephen?

Right?

It's a little bit much.

We have to do our basic first impression, and we can talk about, you know, first 10 words in a little bit.

But as an opener question, it's better than how are you.

And I have to pause here and say, everything I'm going to share takes a little bit of conversational courage.

It's really safe to ask how are you.

It's really safe to ask what do you do.

But if you want to be memorable, if you want to actually spark connection, those won't serve you.

So it does take a little bit of courage to ask this, but the answers you're going to get are incredibly interesting.

You're going to get stories.

You're going to get a hint at values.

If you want to know if they're married or have kids, they probably will tell you by accident.

So it's like a hunt for stories.

Same with, I mentioned this one in the study, so working on anything exciting these days.

This is, again, one of my favorite swap questions because you're hunting for something good.

Now, when I think about conversation in level one, you're trying to gift someone a chemical cocktail.

a little bit.

And I think in level one, these two questions are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

They are now competing with your feed.

I went to a PTA meeting recently, and those are torture, if you've ever been to one for any parents watching.

What's a PTA meeting?

Oh, a parent -teacher meeting.

Okay.

100

Right.

101

So a bunch of other parents in the room.

102

And I wanted to go meet other moms because I just moved across the country to try to meet more people.

103

And I was excited.

104

I was like, Okay, I'm going to meet more moms.

105

Here we go.

106

And I walk in the room and everyone's scrolling.

107

Everyone's on their feed.

108

And I realize, wow, conversation now is not just about a way for me to make friends.

109

It actually has to compete with that feed.

110

I have to make my questions and my answers so dopamine worthy that they're actually going to beat that feed.

111

Otherwise, they're going to go right back to their phone.

112

That is why these have to do more lifting because if I want to compete with the feed, I have to produce dopamine,

113

a little bit of excitement, a little bit of motivation.

114

I also have to create what I would call, forgive me for this word, but conversational confetti.

115

This is like, we got to lift a little bit more in our conversations

116

because otherwise someone's going to go right back to scrolling.

117

Their brain is somewhere else.

118

Either their brain is in their email list or their brain is on their feed.

119

When I was studying amazing conversationalists, one of the one people I studied is Howard Stern.

120

So however you feel about Howard Stern, he is a master conversationalist.

121

I mean, he can carry on long, very interesting.

122

He gets people to say things that I could never imagine.

123

So I analyzed thousands of transcripts of his interviews, and I found one pattern.

124

He does a very good job of creating information gaps.

125

So he'll say, what's the weirdest thing you've ever done?

126

Or he'll say, the most surprising thing that happened to me yesterday, you want to hear what it was?

127

And your brain doesn't like not knowing.

128

So when it hears the most surprising, the weirdest, the biggest, the worst, the most embarrassing, the brain creates this gap.

129

Like it's this information gap where the brain is like, I have to know what is the weirdest thing.

130

So also what happens with these kinds of questions is we're creating these little information gaps

131

and actually saying and using in conversation these phrases is a way that we can create more intrigue and interest.

132

And I know that sounds like, what?

133

But think about this.

134

If something crazy happened to you yesterday and you walk into dinner

135

and you're like guys the craziest thing happened to me yesterday everyone's like phones down right

136

now I couldn't say something boring

137

I couldn't be like I was stuck in traffic yeah unless you want to be funny

138

but I think that looking for opportunities to create

139

that little bit of conversational confetti they come up with questions like this this is the last one

140

so have any fun plans coming up

141

now the reason why this one is important I agonized over this over this third question

142

because there's three questions for each level is have any fun

143

plans coming up is a subtle way to bring up potential shared future psychologically speaking we bond with someone

144

when we feel like we could do something fun with them

145

or they're doing something fun that i would also like to do i think

146

that part of these questions is being known for asking better questions like being known for searching for hunting

147

or hunting for excitement because what happen is with people who know you at work

148

or your work friends or outside of work friends is they'll bring these things to you.

149

They know that you're going to ask out personal passions.

150

So next time you get to say, hey, last time we were talking, you mentioned XYZ.

151

How's that going?

152

So they also become your callbacks.

153

They make conversation easier later.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
