  1. Hey Bananenbauer123! I completely agree, sometimes the best conversations are about the meaning of life, morality, etc. What I was trying to get across with my last point wasn't to avoid those topics, but to filter for people who also enjoy those topics! And for people who don't, filter them out, or find what they enjoy speaking about, rather than trying to force them into a topic they might not enjoy. Not that you have to do this, just that it might lead to being interrupted if you were to try to pick the same topic with every person you meet. Because if you like the universe, and they like the universe, then it WILL be an enjoyable conversation for all involved :-)

  2. Opheliacinthelake hi! Did you see the Wonder Woman video? Charlie and I don’t have firsthand experience being a woman so to be candid we have to imagine or ask female friends for something like this, but Charlie included something on this when talking about Gal Gadot that will hopefully be helpful!

  4. maggithepink thank you! I think I underestimated the amount of critique I was opening myself up to by starting to contribute to the channel, so thanks for saying so :-)

  5. That's great Collin I'm glad the timing lined up with your situation. Don't feel like you have to do every single thing I talked about here either, it's more like a toolkit you can pick and choose from depending on the situation you're in. Good luck with the conversation tomorrow!

  6. Pelle Polapo I feel you! I have suffered from all three at points in my life

  7. Yo Jon! I'm not a huge footballer so don't know much about him but I'll add him to our list to look into

  8. Haha thanks mwieser! I had them whitened a few years ago and I think they stay white because I just avoid the stuff that stains teeth (ex: I have a Koffee Straw from my coffee). The brushing also helps 😂

  9. I agree :-)

  10. Shpitz haha got me smiling just thinking about what I’d answer :-)

  11. Sorry if this wasn't clear! Posture is super important. What's really really bad is to have poor posture, and instead of focusing on fixing the causes you just actively flex yourself into a position that may look good temporarily but is super tight and forced. Hope that clarifies things!

  12. emtomb haha I know right! Also, mad respect to you for taking action and actually trying them :-)

  16. Jennifer Micek Merry Christmas to you too Jennifer! Hope you have fun with this :-)

  17. Whattup Gary! I don't think that's unusual at all. Gary V polarizes people. Some people love him, some like him, some dislike him, and some reaaaally dislike him. He's hit a balance where that pie chart is working out well for him. That said, maybe watching more videos will make you like him, or maybe he just isn't someone you'll like 🤷‍♂️

  18. I would love to! The issues are mostly around getting a good camera person for it and also making sure we follow all of the California state laws around it + make sure the other people involved are comfortable with it being published. Definitely something I'd like to figure out how to do at some point.

  19. Hey Alexander! Both will lead to incredibly rewarding outcomes and opportunities. For me, charisma has had the bigger positive impact on my life. But everyone is different. If I were you I would pick what interests you the most and you have the most fun doing / reading / talking about. ESPECIALLY for a YT channel, because when you're on video 150, you'll be very burned out if you don't genuinely love the topic :-)

  20. Yeah I loved that part :-)

  21. Hey Daniel! Google "Cialdini, interview advice". He has an interesting suggestion for before an interview. Also when it's your turn to ask questions I suggest asking "I'm curious if I did get the job, what makes the very best [job title]?" They'll start to think about their very best employees and associate them with you. I've had many people write me emails saying that changed the tone of their interview :-)

  22. Nice idea. I think it's going to involve a lot of reading body language and tone, and reading into what they're saying and past the actual words. It's been so long since I watched it, I don't know if our video on "how to read anyone" would help but that has some similar stuff in it. In terms of how to reach out, I feel like any attempt to reach out and extend some love is better than not reaching out

  23. Thanks B!

  24. Not that it matters, but as his roommate I can tell you this is most definitely a true story

  25. Great one!  I'll put it on the list :-)

  26. +SecretBandito thanks for your comment! It isn't meant to be a video supporting Trump's politics or political positions (which I personally don't). We tried to stay as politically neutral on it as possible. We chose the topic because Trump is a very useful real-time example of the power of charisma to influence people.

  27. This comment is excellent

  28. Hmmm, this isn't my personal experience or what I've seen from watching Gary V, Chris Hemsworth, Tony Robbins, or my most popular friends. I think it may be how/when you touch. Have you seen the Chris Hemsworth video? I'd be curious what you think of it :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5_KFy6qy-A

  31. Hey Vitaly! I just filmed a video today that touches a bit on this. It's called "How To Have Tough Conversations". It comes out tomorrow, hopefully it covers some stuff that's helpful here! Let me know in the comments of that video if there's more you want to hear on the topic. If it gets some upvotes I'll talk to Charlie about getting it on the calendar :-)

  32. Hey Terra! Deeeeefinitely need to calibrate touch based on gender, culture, religion, etc. Did you see the Chris Hemsworth breakdown "how to be popular without trying"? I did a pretty detailed stretch on touch that you might like

  33. Nope. We get no money from it. Also, the charity execs get no money from it. 100% of money raised goes to clean water projects :-)

  34. I think he creates that reaction a lot haha For what it's worth I met Gary and several of his employees and team members, and from what I could tell the people I met adore him. I can't speak for everyone at the company but at least the people I met are huge believers in Gary and Vaynermedia and wouldn't want to work anywhere else

  35. Hey Funnyballs! The English was perfect :-) And thanks! We appreciate you watching 😊

  36. Appreciate you at least finishing the video! haha Hopefully you still found tidbits of useful advice to take from our breakdown even if you don't enjoy her videos

  37. Edumacation95 keep your eyes out for Charlie this Monday morning ;-)

  38. Conrad Carpenelli sorry about that! It works with headphones and on laptop but not on mobile and I have no idea why. I’m working with my video editor to figure it out. Hopefully the rest was okay 😬

  39. Thanks Jack!

  40. Carl Wane I agree! I’ll try to get this out in January or February :-)

  42. Thanks Amy I'm glad you like the content! You'll still get just as much Charlie in your life too I promise haha. He did Dany/Jon this Monday and he'll have another video coming out next Monday as well.

  43. His next video comes out this Monday :-)

  44. We've got a Scarlett Johansson video in the works actually, should come out the week Black Widow releases :-)

  45. It's interesting, recently I've actually been working on raising the pitch of my voice a bit when out so that it carries more through ambient noise. That said, for a deeper voice, I think things like relaxing your jaw, relaxing your chest/back/abs/low back, basically creating less tension, that seems to help. Relaxing, speaking more slowly. If you get tense or speak really quickly, your voice will rise in pitch, so I'm just assuming the opposite is true. I've worked a TON on getting healthy vocal mechanics and getting my voice to carry, but not a lot on depth, so hopefully that's helpful but beyond that I'd say give it a google. Also personally I think that unless you sound like Mickey Mouse, your voice pitch doesn't really matter. Charlie has a voice that is on the higher side of things, and is one of the most persuasive, charming, funny people I know. I think there are much more important aspects like conviction, body language, etc. that will have a more positive impact on your charisma than trying to change your voice pitch :-)

  46. Tony Scott haha great idea ;-)

  47. Great point! I think his downfall with Nate was leading into the first fight, he visualized a first round KO. And he prepared like that was going to happen. He bulked up and focused on power. I think this is the one example of Conor not grounding his visualizations in reality. For the rematch, he says he's ready for a dog fight, he's expecting it to go 5 rounds, etc. And I think he visualized accordingly, trained accordingly, etc. I thought about including this but the video got so long I ultimately chopped it. Maybe I should have left it! Haha. That's why I think a huge powerful part of his visualization process against Chad was visualizing getting taken down and surviving it. Hopefully he's grounded himself in reality for Mayweather!

  48. Fantastic channel to see full interrogations, he does a great job!

  49. Hey Fei! I feel you, I used to be very negative and sarcastic and I identified as a "sarcastic" person. But sarcasm is just a learned habit, it wasn't core to who I am. I think pessimism is the same, it's probably a habit you learned to protect yourself when you were younger. In terms of introvert vs. extrovert, I would say Charlie is an introvert and still enjoys being social when he chooses to, and I'm an extrovert, but I would say we're equally charismatic. We just have different hobbies and charge up differently.

  50. Wubster haha thanks! If there's enough people that want it I'll talk to Charlie about it :-)
