Amazing. Well, you'll love this. So the guys who come and visit my class are Anthony Veneziale and Sammy Weegent, who are the CEOs, co-CEOs and founders of Freestyle Plus. They helped to originate this Broadway show called Freestyle Love Supreme together with Lin-Manuel Miranda. This was before Hamilton Times, before In the Heights. And this Broadway show is fully... freestyle rap.

And so they've got a live beat boxer. They interact with the crowd. They ask crowd questions like, what's the hardest, what's the hard thing you've been going through in your life? And then they get up on stage and they freestyle rap and retell the whole story. Then they tell it backwards. Then they tell it again with a different ending all the whole time, just freestyle rapping.

It's the most amazing thing that I've like ever witnessed with my eyes that human beings can do on stage. So these guys come to my class at Harvard and work with my students to workshop their improvisational chops. And this year, what we were working on in particular were the students' ability to use callbacks. And so we designed a new game where you practice doing callbacks.

So you start by having a conversation about any topic of your choosing. And the goal is to latch on to something specific that your partner has said from earlier in the conversation. So for example, in this one, John said he knows Angela Duckworth, and he's talked to her before. And when he talked to her about intentionality, her focus was on self-control.

And so I'm now calling back to that moment that John was talking about my friend and his friend, Angela, and her focus on self-control. The only way I can do that is because I was listening really intently to what you had to say and that I care about you. I care about your ideas. And I thought that was a really nice point. And so we can all do this anytime.

And knowing that callbacks are possible actually leads people to listen a little bit differently. It helps you to stay attentive, even when your mind is built to wander. And it, because, oh, I'm on the lookout for stuff that I'll be able to call back to later. Little details, little funny phrases, good ideas that are worthy of bringing up again.

And it helps you to maintain your engagement in the conversation. Often when we think of very charismatic conversationalists, actually, these are the kinds of things that they do. They use callbacks.
