Практика Shadowing: Your Insecurity Is Your Brand - Изучайте разговорный английский по видео

The least desirable type of man in America is an Asian man.

And it's because Asian men are seen as effeminate, bad drivers, not good lovers, and not very attentive to the other person.

And so for a long time, the self-narrative, my own identity was, I wish I wasn't like this because all I wanted to do is be invisible my entire life.

And I see something for the very first time.

Asian people, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and even some Vietnamese who were not born here, they were proudly wearing the dress of their country.

Something changed inside of me.

I want to do everything in my power to be a strong, masculine, fashionable person.

It gave me a lot of freedom to learn about who I was going to be in this world.

So my message to you is...

The thing I want to talk about a little bit is about identity and branding.

It's something that I've been very passionate about talking about the last couple of years.

And when we think of Vietnamese and Vietnamese men, I'm trying to represent here, Maybe there's some stereotypes that really bother me.

And you guys help me out if you have a different take on this.

Number one is maybe you're a gangster.

Yeah, a little bit.

You're a gangster?

Okay.

But America, you know, it's like, they're gangsters and you don't want to mess around with Vietnamese gangsters.

Apparently Vietnamese gangsters are pretty badass.

They'll kill you.

And then the other stereotype I think is nail salon owner or worker.

And I think there's a whole history of why that has happened in America.

And the third one is the most dominant one, I think, is one that works in tech.

Silicon Valley, you know, you must be a good engineer kind of thing.

And I was looking at my career options like, well, I'm not a gangster.

I'm too soft to be a gangster.

I don't care about doing nails.

And I'm terrible at math.

Apparently you have to be pretty good at math to be a software engineer.

Luckily my older brother fulfilled that promise, the chosen one.

He became an engineer.

So what does that leave for us?

And then I was scrolling on social media and there was a comedian who said this, like, the least desirable type of man in America is an Asian man.

Do you guys know that?

Is that true?

And it's because Asian men are seen as effeminate, bad drivers, not good lovers,

and not very attentive to the other person.

Right?

So I was like, that sucks.

And I was having a conversation with my friend.

It's like, I want to do everything I can to break every stereotype that you would put on an Asian man.

And it started me to get to thinking about representation.

It's not something I think about very much.

Because growing up in America, I was born in Vietnam, came to America when I was three years old.

My parents were different than their siblings.

They really wanted us to assimilate quickly.

So though they spoke to us in Vietnamese at home, it wasn't like forbidden to speak in English, and they wanted us to fit in fast.

And so my Vietnamese is terrible.

It is.

But it's better than Hal's, I believe.

I know.

I'm sorry, Hal.

I had to say it.

You know why?

Because we were in a restaurant, a pho restaurant in Vietnam, and he ordered.

I'm like, oh my god.

My Vietnamese is way better.

I should order for you.

And he was like, let me show you, Chris.

And it was wonderful to hear him say this.

Even my kids' Vietnamese might be better than yours.

And they're only half Vietnamese, right?

And growing up fully American.

So you encouraged me to be a better Vietnamese person.

I'm just saying.

You inspire me in so many ways that you might not even know.

And on that idea of representation, I struggled mightily while growing up, because in 1975, we're here in America,

so mid-70s, early 80s, there weren't a lot of Asian people.

And I remember in junior high at John Steinbeck Middle school

there was one other Asian girl I think her name was Susie

and when we had music and dance they're like you need to partner up with somebody

and all the white kids are like you two should get

together I'm like I'm not even interested in Susie it's just naturally

and she wasn't Vietnamese obviously and throughout my life I was like I must think

that I'm white or something

because being Vietnamese meant I was a source of someone to be picked on to be bullied

and And I had a little bit of that.

Thankfully, my older brother, who's four years older than me, told me that the best thing that you can do for a bully is to stand up.

So I'm a small guy.

I'm not a big person.

I'm not strong.

I'm not athletic.

But he always told me, stand up to people, and they'll leave you alone, because they'll just move on to someone who is easier.

And though I was scared out of my mind to get into fights, and I would get into some of them, but after their first fight, they would just leave you alone and move on to someone else.

And so for a long time, the self-narrative, my own identity was, I wish I wasn't like this, because all wanted to do is be invisible my entire life.

Just leave me alone

and my biggest concern in school was I wonder who I'm gonna eat lunch with today

because I just would not like to eat alone.

So I've struggled with this.

Fast forward I get into Art Center and it's graduation.

I have my own struggles there

because I was thinking I don't want to be here anymore I'm done with school

but I do go finish all the work and go to graduation and I see something for the very first time

which is a lot of Asian people, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and even some Vietnamese who were not born here,

they were proudly wearing the dress of their country.

And I'd never seen them before like this.

Like they were really proud.

Like I was like, I'm not wearing aubi-hai.

100

That's not for me.

101

That looks very feminine.

102

I cannot wear that.

103

And I saw them do this.

104

And something changed inside of me.

105

Number one is like I had not seen Asian people at the height of excellence and to that level of pride.

106

It made me really ashamed of myself for the self-hate that I had for being Vietnamese American.

107

The reason why they were so proud of their heritage

108

and their culture and their customs was

109

because they grew up in their dominant culture where they were the man or the woman.

110

And in order for them to go to art school, private art school, which is very expensive, they had to have a lot of money.

111

So not only were they part of the dominant culture, they were the top 10%, 1% of their society.

112

So naturally when they came to America, oftentimes they had more money than Americans.

113

They were driving the fancier cars, they were living in the nicer places.

114

And me, even though we weren't poor, my parents made sure we felt poor, because I never saw any of that money, so I was just living by credit card.

115

And so there are a lot of things going on right for them

116

that I was starting to have this multi-year long journey within myself to celebrate and to love myself 100%.

117

And I started to think about that a little bit.

118

So fast forward, I graduate.

119

I'm working in my company.

120

We're located in Santa Monica.

121

And we're working in advertising, which is a predominantly white industry, white man industry.

122

Nothing wrong with that, just that's the culture.

123

And I'm making commercials and music videos.

124

And throughout that whole time, because it was mostly just conference calls, this is pre-Zoom, we would just get on a phone call, and you win or die by the phone call.

125

They don't see you.

126

You show your work, and you pitch, and we live in the realm of ideas.

127

And so identity and who I was never came into play.

128

It just meant we had to be the best.

129

And we're pitching on $100,000 jobs, $500,000 jobs, and we're winning.

130

So again, I don't think about identity very much.

131

It's not into 2014 I started making YouTube videos with my then partner Jose,

132

that people started DMing me something that I had not asked myself in a while, which was the issue of representation.

133

What does it mean to be represented?

134

So I didn't realize this, but being an Asian man, Vietnamese American, it gave permission to lots of people out there who wanted to pursue the arts

135

and to see what excellence looks like in the motion design industry and on YouTube.

136

Now YouTube is a great place because anybody with a camera

137

and an internet connection can make content and we see a lot more diverse programming on YouTube, unlike in traditional media.

138

And so that is when it starts to hit me that even though it wasn't important to me to represent other people, I didn't want to carry that burden,

139

it was important for people to see people like them doing great.

140

And so I keep thinking about this.

141

Like, I want to do everything in my power to break down those stereotypes, to be a strong, masculine,

142

fashionable person that understands money and can talk about different things

143

and swim in a lot of different circles so that people can see it's safe to do that.

144

And the funniest thing is there's a little side story.

145

And then I think I was supposed to talk for 25 minutes, but I would like to talk with you, not to you.

146

I'll just tell you one little story.

147

I have two boys.

148

They're not boys anymore.

149

They're men.

150

One is 21.

151

The other one's 19.

152

He's about to turn 22.

153

And they're very different boys.

154

One is really lover of the arts.

155

He's going to an art center.

156

He's an incredible artist.

157

He's learning how to sew and make clothes.

158

And he's studying entertainment design.

159

The other one, much smarter, much more high achieving, is studying philosophy.

160

And he loves art and design

161

because he grew up a household where both parents were designers full of art supplies

162

and immersed in it but he's denied that part of himself

163

that he wants to do serious things he went to school for gifted kids

164

and then he went to boarding school on the east coast and now he's studying philosophy at columbia

165

and my wife

166

and i both look at him like i wonder what happened to him he's lost the way

167

so in our family it's like the opposite of most families

168

most families once you go to college go to a good school and have great grades.

169

We're like, just do whatever you want.

170

Who cares about school?

171

In fact, we saved up money for them for college since they were little kids.

172

And I've tried to bribe my children to quit school.

173

Every semester I ask them, do you still want to be here?

174

Do you want to continue forward?

175

Because you can have all the money, no strings attached, do whatever you want in your life.

176

No expectations.

177

And people are like, whoa, what kind of hippie family is this?

178

And my oldest boy, he's like, no, I must go to Ivy league school, I must get high GPA, I'm going to study Latin, I'm going to study piano.

179

He's doing everything that my parents would have wanted for me, but I couldn't fulfill.

180

So maybe it's like it skips a generation or something like that.

181

Not sure.

182

Whatever, we'll take it.

183

But there's these urges inside of this boy that are creative.

184

And so he started to vlog, which for me is like, oh, you're following the old man's footsteps.

185

I don't vlog, but he's making YouTube content.

186

So one day, I'm going to visit him in New York because I have a layover.

187

And I go to see him.

188

We hang out.

189

And of course, he's vlogging the entire experience because this is what he's doing now.

190

He's using his studies and philosophy and writing to tell stories via his vlog.

191

And he shoots and everything.

192

I'm only there for eight or nine hours.

193

And I'm on the flight to another place.

194

What happens afterwards is pretty funny because he's on TikTok.

195

And he's on Instagram as well.

196

He posts, and I don't know anything about it, because I'm on to my next thing.

197

And then I'm on a group chat with the entire family, and the two boys are texting each other.

198

And my youngest, dead face emoji.

199

You guys know dead face emoji?

200

It's like I didn't know what it was, because I'm an old guy.

201

It's funny, killing me.

202

He goes, your video with dad is now your most viral video.

203

And then there's an exchange back and forth, like, oh my god, what's going on?

204

I don't think anything of it.

205

So a couple days later, I actually look at the video and I read the comments, and they're pretty funny.

206

And what was happening is like, that is not your dad's stop.

207

Or like, who this?

208

And are there applications for mother-in-law?

209

And that cannot be your dad.

210

And the funniest one is something like hashtag zaddy, which I didn't even know what that meant.

211

I had to look it up on the Urban Dictionary.

212

I still don't know what it means, but I feel like, If you know, you know.

213

And I thought it was pretty funny.

214

And I now say to my boys, you just use me as a thirst trap for your feed.

215

And I like that.

216

But what's really weird is most of the comments that are more aggressive, should I say, come from a very different demographic.

217

It comes from black women.

218

I didn't know this.

219

But I guess I have pool within the African-American community.

220

And to me, that's a reversal of stereotypes.

221

Because that's a different thing.

222

Like, black men are seen as very masculine, as very powerful and desirable.

223

And for me to score points with black women, I'm happily married, but this is kind of cool.

224

And I just share that with you because it's like all my life, I don't want to embarrass my children.

225

And it's great to be able to meet your heroes.

226

It's even better to become one to your own children.

227

And I'll stop there.

228

And maybe we can talk a little bit more.

229

Is that OK?

230

OK.

231

All right, thank you.

232

All right. So I love Q&A.

233

I love fireside chat.

234

The happiest that I'm ever is with a large piece of paper and some markers.

235

And that was just like how it was when I was five years old.

236

So they continue on into my 50s.

237

I would love to have a conversation with you about content, about identity, about branding, or anything

238

that you think we can talk about to make sure this experience is unique to us and not some pre-recorded thing.

239

I'm just curious about the confession of a recurring graphic designer.

240

How do you see yourself?

241

Oh, okay.

242

Okay, so you read the program, it must be...

243

I don't know.

244

Yeah, yeah.

245

Oh, oh, it's a...

246

You're...

247

How did you read my mind?

248

Oh, it's right there behind me.

249

Okay.

250

I give a couple of different talks.

251

One is called Unblend Yourself.

252

The other one is Confessions of a Recovering Graphic Designer.

253

It's my life story and all the twists and turns and the things that go unplanned.

254

It's like the slide should have said, a series of unfortunate events led me to exactly here.

255

And so I'm a recovering graphic designer because my identity for a very long time was graphic design.

256

But I realized being a graphic designer meant you must design graphics.

257

Like a fashion designer designs fashion, interior designer designs interiors, and experience designer designs experiences.

258

And I felt after I grew that title, although it served me really well, it's time for me to move on.

259

So I still have graphic design tendencies, but I've evolved beyond that.

260

So I help people with relationships.

261

I help people with their business, with negotiations, with public speaking, with their own personal brand.

262

So that's why it's called Confessions of Recovering Graphic Designer.

263

You're very astute.

264

OK.

265

Does anybody else have another thing they would like to talk about any questions?

266

How can you switch from graphic to creative to be entrepreneur and go to be CEO?

267

Because I actually follow you a little bit, but I saw that you do a lot of incredible content.

268

And to be honest, I was kind of surprised, because you are different from my expectation that you are like kind of cute.

269

So I'm here about like Julie and honestly like, I'm gone.

270

I'm not gonna sign like daddy, but yeah.

271

And then I'm here to marry and, cause like I'm a Vietnamese, I'm born and raised in Vietnam.

272

So I came here five years ago, like epidemic time.

273

So we are a young generation in here

274

And then we want to listen to all of the leaders in here and got inspired.

275

And by the way, I love this , because this is the Vietnamese podcast first time that I hear from when I was in Vietnam and .

276

So I feel more homesick.

277

Thank you.

278

Thank you, I think.

279

It was like a half compliment.

280

Like, you're kind of, but not really.

281

And my expectations were you weren't going to be.

282

Right?

283

She's nagging me the whole time.

284

No?

285

You guys know what I'm talking about?

286

It's like a way of dating where you give a compliment, but it's actually an insult.

287

So the other person then tries to win your favor.

288

You guys, young people, you guys know what I'm talking about.

289

OK.

290

The identity, the identity between creative and business and how I'm able to ride those two lines.

291

I've worked with a business coach for 13 years.

292

I met with him.

293

His name is Kier McLeary, and he's passed away.

294

He's a big Irish-American man, very big, rides a motorcycle.

295

And I would meet with him every single week for 13 years, for about an hour and a half to two hours.

296

And so I learned a lot about business and my thinking and philosophy from him.

297

But he said something to me because he consulted and coached many people in our industry.

298

Some of them are world famous title designers and have worked on big blockbuster films.

299

Some of them are working with world class musicians, people who play on rock bands you've heard of.

300

So I'm just one of many people he consults.

301

And he says something to me, which kind of reminds me of what you're saying to me, which is kind of a half insult, half compliment, which was this.

302

He goes, Chris, of all my clients, you're not the most creative.

303

Clearly, there are more creative people.

304

And I know because I know his clients.

305

I admire them.

306

They're my heroes.

307

And he said that, and you're not the best business person either, because clearly they're much better than you.

308

They're doing a gazillion dollars.

309

And I'm like, is this going somewhere, coach?

310

I'm thinking.

311

And he goes, but no one is as good at doing creative and running a business as you.

312

So the creative person is the pursuit and the purity of artistic expression.

313

And they're running their business into the ground.

314

And then the people are really good business operators are making a lot of money, but for him, they have no creative soul.

315

They know how to hire and fire and leverage and negotiate things and arbitrage.

316

And so he's like, you're the best hybrid.

317

And there's a good reason why I'm a hybrid.

318

My father and my entire father's family, there are seven, no, there's more than that, there's like nine siblings.

319

They're all engineers.

320

Silicon Valley, they're all doing really well.

321

They own multiple homes, living in San Jose.

322

My mom's side, they're all artistic.

323

They're singers, poets, artists, writers.

324

My mom is one, too.

325

They're dreamers.

326

And they're the most loving, beautiful people, and they love life.

327

And many of them are financially just not doing well.

328

So you can see now, I'm the exact child between my mom and my dad.

329

And maybe it's coincidental, but I'm also the middle child.

330

So my older brother is a Silicon Valley engineer.

331

He's exited on multiple companies.

332

He's a founder.

333

My younger brother is a recluse, never went to college artist, freelancer who does visual effects for TV shows.

334

So I'm in the middle.

335

Now there's a line I like to use from Wesley Snipes' Blade.

336

Do you know Blade, the character?

337

He's a vampire, but he was half vampire and half human.

338

So he's like, they call him Daywalker.

339

It's a great name.

340

He's a daywalker because he has all the strengths of a vampire and none of the weaknesses.

341

he can walk in the sunlight.

342

So I like to tell people I'm a day walker.

343

I have all the strengths and artistic imagination of a designer,

344

creative thinker, and the business acumen of a business person and none of the weaknesses between the two.

345

So that's the first part.

346

Now let's get into the part why you don't think I'm attractive.

347

No, I'm just kidding.

348

Okay, did I answer your question?

349

Is that okay?

350

Okay, so somebody else have one more question?

351

Something deep maybe? something profound come up here my question to you

352

that not just with you know the communities but run through family

353

so we have all the generation gap between you

354

and your friends there's already a gap now you

355

and your kids there's another gap so how can you bridge the gap because

356

that is a conflict among a lot of the Vietnamese family

357

that's why there's a lot of you know fight back for

358

and this connection so what would be for you know advice

359

or how can you bridge that gap between you and your your sons or you and your parents

360

okay thank you very much all right let's take the first one my relationship with my parents I'm very fortunate

361

that I grew up in America in a time

362

when both parents worked all the time and we're like latchkey kids basically they go to you have a kid, you go home, and you don't leave the house, kind of thing.

363

And for a long time, I felt really bad because I was thinking we should do more stuff together as a family too.

364

This experience that I see in my friends, my Chinese friends, my American friends, they have a different relationship with their parents,

365

but my parents were just busting their butt just trying to make sure we can pay the mortgage.

366

And what I realized later on, many years later on, was

367

that it gave me a lot of freedom to learn about who I was going to be in this world

368

versus following a blueprint that they want to stay out for me.

369

It's also mirrored with not just because they work, but my dad and mom have a very laissez-faire way of managing and raising us.

370

And instead of telling me what to do, my dad would just ask me lots of questions.

371

When I got into trouble, it was a long lecture.

372

It was just a lot of questions, again, getting me to think.

373

And it allowed me to kind of space to not fill in what he wanted me to become, to fit in a mold.

374

and when I decided to go to art school, I didn't know this at the time, my dad was really against it and I didn't know this

375

because he never told me and the reason why he never told me was because my mom, she's like that tall and she never talks back to my dad,

376

traditional family, she stood up and said, you're not allowed to tell him your thoughts and I think,

377

you know, I thank my dad a lot for shaping who I am.

378

I didn't know this part of the story. And

379

so now my mom has become my hero I'd like to

380

think I'm strong enough to pursue a career in art

381

and design even if they didn't approve I never have to know

382

because I never heard she shielded me from that and said you're just not allowed to say anything

383

So today after the success

384

Of course both parents are very proud

385

and it's really strange for me to say this

386

But of all my cousins who went a very traditional path who did what their parents told them to do

387

to stay tight to the family unit, number one, they never moved more than 15 miles away from home.

388

They're all still in San Jose.

389

Okay?

390

And number two, they're pharmacists, they're dentists, they're doctors, they're nurses, they're lawyers.

391

Very respectable things.

392

Accountants, too.

393

They're poorer than I am.

394

And now I'm seen as the one who breaks the mold and is successful.

395

So my message to you is, one point in your life, in your adulthood, I hope that you find the courage to do what you want to do,

396

and the people who really care about you, who love you, will be patient enough to allow you to do that.

397

And even if they didn't, I have to say I don't care.

398

I love my parents dearly.

399

They live close to us now, so we moved to Los Angeles, and then eventually they moved to Los Angeles, because when we had kids, our grandparents wanted to be around the kids, and so they sold their house.

400

And so now they live close to us versus us living close to them.

401

And so I look at all my cousins who have spent all this quality time with their parents.

402

They're still to this day, they're in their 40s, concerned about what their parents are doing.

403

They just, they never got away from the parent sibling relationship about being a dutiful child.

404

And I know a lot of you have those traditional values, which I think are good, but every positive thing has a negative thing.

405

We have to be aware of what the negative thing is.

406

They never fully realize their own identity and their own potential.

407

And I think that's just a shame.

408

So now my relationship with my own kids is very different.

409

I feel like, and I hope maybe this isn't triggering for anybody,

410

is what happens is we inherit the problems that our parents gave us because they couldn't solve it, right?

411

Like, you notice oftentimes parents want you to do the thing that they couldn't do in life.

412

So if they didn't go to college, guess what?

413

You're going to college.

414

If they were blue-collar, they want you to be white-collar.

415

If they married this kind of person, they want you to marry another kind of person because they're unhappy.

416

And so I was listening to his Yogi, and he said something like, children are born perfect, it's parents who mess them up.

417

Because we're trying to correct the sins of our own past in our own children.

418

We do not have the courage to act.

419

What we want to do is have them act for us.

420

You notice how many moms don't know how to play an instrument, but their children must play the violin and the piano?

421

Like, you never even played.

422

You didn't go to an Ivy League school.

423

you don't have a doctorate why is that important for me it's

424

because we're trying to fix our lives through them and so

425

if i believe that

426

and i do my children are born perfect i'm trying to

427

do as little as possible to harm them that's the goal of being a parent

428

and so both my children do whatever they want

429

and we just have we have strict guidelines on edges

430

but not a lot in the middle like there's no physical

431

violence between the two of you you want to hurt other people that's a different story, but you all cannot hurt each other.

432

And number two, respect is a big thing.

433

Respect your parents, respect other people, try not to hurt people, and the rest of it, you do whatever you want.

434

My cousin, who is an American Vietnamese, went to Vietnam to raise his family, and he's got a little boy.

435

He's here, and he sees my son doing really well.

436

He asked me this question.

437

He goes, how do you get your boys to do the homework?

438

I wasn't expecting that question from him.

439

And I said, I don't know.

440

I never cared that they've done their homework.

441

And then I remembered, I've never even looked at the report card.

442

And I know some of you are shocked.

443

Like, what kind of Asian dad are you?

444

I'm a sexy dad.

445

I don't care.

446

But you know what?

447

They've always done well in school.

448

How do I know?

449

Because my wife tells me.

450

Because she cares.

451

But I'm like, honey, just leave them alone.

452

Let them do whatever they want.

453

They've always done their homework and they've excelled, they got themselves into school, they got scholarships, and they're moving forward in life.

454

And so my relationship with my boys is very different than a traditional parent, because I'm doing the things that they're doing,

455

and I'm purposely learning Gen Z slang so I can embarrass them all the time.

456

That's my connection.

457

And one of the most beautiful things about living a creative life, the one that I've had, and being a business owner is sometimes we pull them out of school just to travel.

458

So my young man was homeschooled for two years, And he had like an online homeschooling, so I had none of the work and all the benefit.

459

So he literally went to work with me every single day.

460

Little man would bring his backpack, his computer, and he would show up.

461

He's only that small, and the guys are that big.

462

He'd come in the office and say, hey, boys, how's it going?

463

I said, you can't call them boys.

464

They're my employees, and you're just my son.

465

Don't abuse the power, right?

466

And we got to travel to Germany.

467

We got to travel to the Philippines.

468

We stayed on a private island, got to fly in a helicopter, swim with whale sharks, and he got to do an opening keynote for me.

469

And this is an experience I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

470

So the seeds that we planted with our children while we were young, allowing them to be their fullest self, their higher self, that's how I stay connected to them.

471

And listening to my parents is how I stay connected to my parents.

472

Does that answer your question?

473

Okay.

474

I think I'm out of time, right?

475

Perfect.

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.
