1
This shy DJ is about to perform to 15,000 people and he's terrified.
2
Make some noise, Higgs! If this goes well,
3
he'll complete a nine-month transformation from a shy stranger I met on the street to a confident DJ finally living his dream.
4
But if this performance goes poorly, he might never build the confidence to perform again.
5
Yeah, no, that's not.
6
Make some noise, it does!
7
First, let me take you back to where it all started.
8
I meet strangers every day and I ask them a question that sounds simple, but can change everything.
9
Excuse me, what's your dream?
10
Have you got any music we can see?
11
Yeah.
12
Can you come back with some decks and do some moves?
13
I can.
14
How long will he tell you?
15
Right now?
16
Yeah.
17
Possibly an hour?
18
Yeah, do it.
19
I want to hear some of your music.
20
Alright, I'll see you here in an hour.
21
So he gave Darryl just one hour to come back and present his music.
22
But what he doesn't know is that if his stuff's good, I've got a surprise for him to kick start his dream.
23
Now, Damo already clearly had passion, but like so many people, what was really holding him back was himself.
24
Hold on a minute, it's in, that's in.
25
You made it back, almost late, almost late.
26
Alright, alright, open up the laptop, let's see your music.
27
Let's go.
28
Ok guys, what do you think?
29
Yeah, alright.
30
Ok, you've got skills man, you've got skills.
31
So, how much do you charge to come and do a DJ set for someone?
32
I don't know.
33
So I'll pay you five hundred quid to come and do a set for me, a proper set.
34
Seriously?
35
Yeah, yeah.
36
I hired you, I'm your first customer.
37
And after meeting Daryl in Manchester, I sent my team to go and find out a little more about him and why he hasn't been pursuing his dream.
38
My name's Daryl, I'm 19 years old, I'm from Manchester and my dream is to be a music producer and touring DJ.
39
I convinced my dad to buy me a deck.
40
He's very supportive of my dream.
41
I think the main few reasons
42
that I've not been putting my music out there is because I had my TikTok account blowing up a bit.
43
I was getting thousands of comments about how I'm a fake DJ or I don't really DJ for real.
44
So it'd be like scared of judgment really.
45
That came as well with comparing my songs to other famous artists.
46
Maybe the quality wasn't perfect or the melody wasn't as good as theirs.
47
I think those were the main reasons why I didn't really put my music out there.
48
As a kid, Daryl was, I would say, probably quite social.
49
We bought his first date for his birthday and I think he was really excited and we were like, make the most of it because
50
if you want something like to reach your dream this is what we're doing for you
51
so make sure that actually use it time goes on goes on
52
and feel like okay i think he slowed down a bit i don't know
53
if he like a bit disappointed
54
but feel like you know uh you put a lot of effort
55
or time to buy him what he want
56
and we move to something okay producing music
57
but for me it was like yeah
58
but i don't see anything coming out timon's team has asked
59
me to meet them down in london the next week i
60
don't really know why what i do know is I'm feeling very nervous but I'm looking forward for it.
61
Daryl, why have you not made it happen already?
62
Why have you not made your dream happen?
63
I don't know.
64
I've been...
65
You do know, you do know.
66
Come on, dig deep.
67
Tell me the truth.
68
I've been too addicted with learning tips
69
and I got carried away with trying to get all the information at once instead of applying it.
70
This basically is like perfection syndrome, right? which probably is deep rooted in some past psychology of your life.
71
I'm going to help you today.
72
I've got a plan.
73
But you have to be willing to take a risk.
74
Are you willing?
75
I'm willing, willing.
76
You sure?
77
I'm sure.
78
Promise me.
79
Or as my kid would say, pinky promise.
80
I'm going to promise.
81
Take a risk today.
82
I'm going to give you your first challenge.
83
What you have to do is you're going to go up to people and go to shake their hand.
84
And as they go to shake your hand, you fist bump.
85
And it's going to be awkward.
86
I'm going to get you used to being awkward.
87
Awkward creates a tension.
88
Okay, so I'm going to teach you to enjoy being awkward, and then you're going to push through this fear of it being a perfect interaction every time, right?
89
Alright, I'm going to be here by your side.
90
Are you ready?
91
Okay.
92
Just straight in there.
93
Don't overthink it.
94
You're already...
95
Turn off that brain.
96
Don't just do this.
97
Go up to people, do this, and then fist bump.
98
Try this guy.
99
How about this lady sitting down here?
100
Try it with this lady.
101
All you have to do is get it to her one time.
102
Go on.
103
We'll do it a couple more times just to get you familiar.
104
This guy in the grey.
105
Ready?
106
How do you feel?
107
I'm kind of getting used to it.
108
Exactly!
109
If I'm imagining, you know, 100% ability to take risk is where you need to be to follow your dreams, I reckon we've just got you up to 20%.
110
Now I'm going to do something really mad.
111
I want you to take over my job and ask people what their dream is in a Batman outfit.
112
This is like your Bat car and your Bat bike.
113
This is your Bat Mike.
114
Not sponsored by DJI so we'll just get Batman put on there.
115
Because DJI doesn't sponsor dreams.
116
Right, this is yours.
117
You're going to ask someone their dream, and I'm going to help you.
118
Are you ready?
119
Okay, let's go.
120
Excuse me.
121
Do you have a dream?
122
In fairness, I'd also probably run the other way if I saw you.
123
Excuse me, do you have a dream?
124
Now the key to finding a dreamer is they have an aura about them.
125
You're going to feel it.
126
A lady holding the coffee.
127
Excuse me, do you have a drink?
128
Excuse me, do you have a drink?
129
No drink.
130
Yeah, that Batman challenge was definitely awkward.
131
And another embarrassing story to tell my kids one day.
132
How do you feel now?
133
I feel a bit more comfortable.
134
Right.
135
Have you ever watched the movie Karate Kid?
136
Karate Kid?
137
Yeah, well he does wax on and wax off and he's teaching him karate.
138
I'm teaching you to feel embarrassment.
139
Someone will smile, they'll either laugh at you or with you but they're going to smile.
140
Just remember you're Batman.
141
Alright?
142
You're Batman and it doesn't matter.
143
Right?
144
Okay, let's go and get a coffee.
145
So although Darryl was expecting a coffee, this was just a cover up for the surprise we had lined up next.
146
You've done well, the pain threshold is high.
147
I've got a surprise for you to say well done.
148
Go in here, I'll show you.
149
So I've got two surprises for you really, and this is the first surprise.
150
We hired you, we hired you to the studio today for you to make a song, okay?
151
Okay.
152
So you've got four hours to make a song, and then we're gonna put it out.
153
It's not going to be perfect, but it's going to be your love and energy for the next four hours.
154
I have got another surprise for you later, all right?
155
So the first step is let's get you going to make this song that I want the whole world to hear.
156
And no matter what we're going to put out.
157
Fair?
158
Deal?
159
Deal.
160
And with that, Daryl got to work in the studio with only four hours to make a song from scratch.
161
He needs to use all the rejection as fuel to stop himself overthinking and perform under pressure.
162
Now Daryl has been through a lot today.
163
We've taken him on the streets, we've gone through rejection therapy, pushing him through his barrier of perfection.
164
And now I've set him up with the challenge of making a song in just four hours.
165
So I thought I'd call in a favour to see if I could get anyone to help.
166
I think you might know him.
167
How you doing mate?
168
Alright, cut the music.
169
I've got a surprise for you.
170
Remember I told you I got a surprise for you.
171
I asked a friend of mine to come and help you.
172
Jax Jones, are you there?
173
Yes.
174
What's up?
175
Hey, 10 million followers on Spotify.
176
He's here to help you.
177
You know who this is?
178
Darryl, yeah?
179
Ah, look at this.
180
You got a cuddle?
181
You're all right?
182
I'm blessed.
183
Yo.
184
So he's going to help you.
185
He's going to help you with your song.
186
Do you want to give him a little taster?
187
First of all, anything you want to say?
188
I've been a big fan.
189
He's been following you for a while.
190
Yeah, we did our research.
191
We know you're a big fan.
192
Yeah, so he's here in the flesh and he's going to help you today for the next few rounds.
193
Manchester.
194
Manchester, oh you've come down.
195
I did come down.
196
Sick.
197
This is crazy.
198
It's Jax Jones, like the actual Jax Jones.
199
The one I knew since I was a kid.
200
I remember a cereal box video as a kid and now he's standing right in front of me.
201
Okay, show, I haven't heard it yet, show us a bit of where you're at.
202
Okay, we'll play the whole thing.
203
Basically the idea would be give him honest, brutal feedback and then help him get it where he wants to be.
204
So we were just talking outside about this whole, I'm going to call it imposter syndrome, which is another way of putting it.
205
This kind of fear of putting stuff out there.
206
And you had a good insight, how you do it?
207
Well there's a Seth Godin quote where you just got a ship.
208
If you don't put anything out, you don't get any information back then that's why you don't move forward.
209
So the best thing you can do in order for you to grow is to keep putting things out.
210
Everyone's a critic, especially now.
211
They're not you and they don't know where you're heading.
212
So you like your job as a creator, that's what Simon does, what I do, is what you do, is to create things.
213
And sometimes not everyone's going to understand it.
214
Also might be too early.
215
There's so many reasons why people won't get it.
216
So you just got to keep creating and believe in what you're doing.
217
Half of the battle in this game for anyone, no matter whether you're richest man in the world or just in your basement trying to get it done,
218
is literally having the nerve to ignore the noise.
219
That's most of it, to be honest with you, because it never stops.
220
So I'm going to let you guys cook.
221
All right, see you in a bit.
222
Nice one, bro.
223
Thanks for doing this, yeah?
224
Pleasure.
225
Appreciate you, man.
226
Good man.
227
I'll see you soon.
228
I'm glad I got an idea down before Jax arrived.
229
Obviously, there's the urge to change a lot of stuff, even when Jax did some stuff.
230
But, I mean, it's a collab with Jax Jones.
231
Couldn't get any better.
232
Come on bruv.
233
It's hard.
234
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
235
I understand.
236
Um, that's normal.
237
You're just overthinking it.
238
And there's a lot going on.
239
I don't know what, because everyone's different, but that's why it's taking so long.
240
So after receiving some advice from Jax, the guys got to work in the studio to bring their four-hour song together.
241
Do you know what I mean?
242
Like a mob to a flame.
243
This one might be hard.
244
Play our tune underneath just at the same time.
245
I'll pull you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in, I'll move you in.
246
That's sick!
247
Pull it, bruv!
248
Let's go!
249
It's just one of my own.
250
Let's go.
251
Nice one, bro.
252
Respect, man.
253
Good luck with it.
254
Let me know how it goes tonight.
255
Later that evening, I invited Darryl to my live podcast audience to present him with his final surprise.
256
Come on up, come on up.
257
Woo!
258
Alright, and then we have one more surprise for you.
259
So we have secured you a spot with Jax Jones to play in front of a crowd of 15,000 people.
260
That's all.
261
Alright?
262
You're going all the way, man.
263
And you're not alone.
264
You can do this.
265
Congratulations.
266
Alright.
267
If you're watching this and thinking, Simon, I'd love for you to help me with my dream.
268
I've got a really cool thing I'd love to share with you in partnership with Stan.
269
For people who sign up with Stan and get started with their business, I'm going to pick 10 of you and be your first customer, just like Daryl.
270
For those of you who don't know, Stan turns your bio into a business.
271
You can book calls, sell digital products, grow a newsletter, all from one link.
272
I only recommend products I really believe in.
273
And I'm also an investor in this business and love it.
274
We use them ourselves on my Instagram profile.
275
We even set one up for Daryl after this video, so he has a way to make money from his music.
276
The links are below if you want to take part and try it too.
277
Simon just told me that I'm going to perform in front of 15,000 people with Jack Jones.
278
So I was kind of like stood there shut, like earlier, and threw my ear to the other one.
279
But this was a massive opportunity for me to take so I can start my music career.
280
Crazy.
281
First soundtrack of my life.
282
Yeah.
283
How does it make you feel later on in the actual show?
284
Ummmm.. more confident I guess.
285
Maybe that's just because the crowd isn't here and it's very pumped.
286
This is it people, the arena's filled up and Jax Jones is about to go on stage.
287
From meeting Darryl and finding out about his dream, overcoming his fears and pushing through perfection,
288
now he's about to step foot on stage for Hits Radio in front of 15,000 people.
289
It all comes down to this.
290
You have a chance.
291
Watch us now!
292
Let me hear you!
293
I'm a DJ DJ, let me hear you!
294
Just before I go up, I was just thinking about my childhood, the time my dad bought me my first DJ Dex, and it's finally the moment when I can repay him back,
295
being on stage in front of 15,000 people and making me proud.
296
Let's make it feel welcome!
297
This is extreme right now!
298

315

327

331
Hiya.
332
How are you doing?
333
I'm doing amazing.
334
How was it?
335
It was really good.
336
I thought I'd been nervous before but it was an experience.
337
I really liked it man.
338
That looked like a big crowd.
339
Yeah, it was massive.
340
You weren't nervous at all going in?
341
So arriving here I was nervous but when it was like showtime the nerves just disappeared and I was just pumped, I was ready.
342
It's because you're.. it's what you're meant to do.
343
Yeah, yeah.
344
You're meant to be a little bit nervous and then when you're doing it, you know you're meant to be doing.
345
Yeah.
346
Well, you made...
347
Giving this opportunity, you made it very clear for me and something I'm gonna chase.
348
You made this dream happen, man.
349
You stepped up.
350
You leaned into fear.
351
Thank you.
352
And you made your dream happen.
353
I'm proud of you.
354
Thank you so much, Simon.
355
Congratulations, Neil.
356
Thank you.
357
Next step.
358
Let's go.
359
You know what, that's the first time we come to a show like
360
that and seeing him on the stage for the first time, we were like wow, just amazing.
361
What's your dream bro?
362
DJ.
363
DJ, make music as easy as you can, that's my advice.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
