Jay Shetty

Your body's open.

They walk over or you say hi because it's a calm, approachable energy, a warm energy.

You ask them a genuine question.

You listen.

You follow up.

You give them a role.

They give you a role.

By the way, they're going to ask you questions too and you've got to be willing to go there.

You share a real moment.

And then while it's still good, you say, I'm really glad I talked to you.

I hope I see you again tonight.

You walk away and then spend the next 30, 60 minutes doing other things and then hopefully reconnect with each other.

Nothing about that required confidence.

Nothing required charisma.

Nothing required being the funniest or most impressive person in the room.

It required understanding how human brains work, how nervous systems co-regulate, how memory forms, how connection actually happens beneath the performance most people think it requires.

You were never bad at talking to people.

You were just never taught that the goal isn't to talk.

If you loved this episode, you loved my conversation with Simon Sinek, where we dive into the real key to create meaningful connection and influence beyond numbers or followers.
