In the era of the internet, WWIII, and AI, communication and human value judgements will be some of the most important skills.
“Don’t make a point without a story, don’t tell a story without a point” 👏🏽👏🏽
37:36 “It’s not studying the answer but studying the thinking behind the answer that reveals the real value.” Best takeaway from this interview!
3 Tips on how to be a more Effective Communicator. 1:07:00 1. Record a 5 min video of you speaking, wait a day to review. A) Listen only - qualities of your voice, what you like, what you don't like. B) Just watch, turn the sound off, what do you like and dislike about how you move, how expressive you are, how your hands and body move. C) Transcribe it, leave in all the none words and filler words, then highlight them. 2. Send 20 min video and transcription to ESL teacher - How can I improve my Grammer 3. Mindset - Change your behaviors, let go to your future self, grow and evolve. 4. Send 20 min video to Speak Pathologist
The honesty and transparency between you both is priceless! Love this conversation.

Ha ha I know. This is so funny. When I saw the guest on Instagram I didn’t like him either. It’s weird, there’s something about him, I don’t know. But good on him for this guys success. When Chris was so honest at the beginning I was like, it’s not just me 😂
Funny how Chris says he didn't like the sound of his voice. In addition to the insightful conversations, I look for these hour-long videos because of the zen tone of his voice. It's just the right kind of energy for these podcasts.

I think that we don't always like the sound of our voice but our tribe gets to love them. That doesn't mean we can't improve our voice, only we should not try to copy and be like others. I used to think I should sound like Les Brown to be a serious public speaker, which is sadly not so. We are unique in our own way.
I might be wrong, but they look alike...one looks like the Doppelganger of the other.😊. And they are very knowledgeable at the same time in what they do. We love you guys🙏🏿

Hearing Vinh sharing his story about doing anything to learn to communicate with his son made me think about my own story. My son is autistic and was non verbal until the age of 4, is now 21 and can speak fluently 2 languages and learnt Spanish and German at school. I share this for any parents struggling with a child with learning difficulties, hire professional to speed up his learning abilities. There are things we can’t do by ourselves! Hire a therapist, a coach, a mentor and anyone that can help you! I became a coach to support people find their happiness and even calling!
This was a brilliant talk, I have often struggled with verbal communication due to being autistic, I was 90% selectively non-verbal up until the age of 10. Vinh really is an excellent verbal communicator and has taught me so many invaluable tools and techniques to help improve my verbal communication. It has been a frustrating journey, especially when people don't take you serious due to the verbal barriers. But I have an excellent set of skills within my domain of expertise, and trying to translate into a verbal reality has been one of the biggest challenges. I am very grateful for all the resources Vinh has published online with regards to communication, they have been really helpful in helping me conquer my verbal communication skills. Thanks to Chris, Vinh, and the team, you folks are incredible 😍

As a person with autism what would be your recommendation for parent of kids with autism to help with their communication? My daughter is autistic and non verbal. Im always wondering what is she thinking.
This was an Amazing conversation. I love how Chris actively listened and took notes then recap what was said then used his notes to ask out more in depth questions. Equally, Vinh's willingness to go deeper and share more. This was a beautiful meeting of the minds. Vinh dedication to his son is heart warming for sure!

I loved the personal stories in this episode, rather than an interview completely about strategy! I didn’t realize that the teaching component of my life is what makes my now career of being an Argentine Tango teacher so fulfilling. I completed premed but completely changed paths, and there is nothing more fulfilling to me than watching my students go from no dance experience to enjoying themselves on the dance floor! I feel like I am finally doing what I was meant to do 😌
I’ve been wanting this colab! I can’t believe I didn’t see it for four months!
You two have literally changed my life and my business. I run a dog training business, nothing to do with design, but your info translates over. Thank You for your content. Without both of you I would have failed by now 100 times over. Most channels gloss over the real important things, or they are too vague to learn from, but you taught me what books to read, how to change my mindset, how to speak to potential clients..AND MOST IMPORTANT to not chase the clients that can't afford me. I used to go into sales with the mindset that I HAD to close every client and when I didn't I'd beat myself up over it. Now I realize there are people who you don't want to work with, and that's ok. There's people who don't wanna work with you, and that's ok. Without my business I wouldn't be able to work, as I have a back injury that caused me to be unemployable from my previous career. You helped me, help me not be homeless. I can't thank you enough.

22:30 that’s why ppl say behind a successful man, there’s a supporting wife 😊 And I’m sure she could see the potential in Vinh, and that’s why she was willing to support him.
I am watching this at 2:21 AM. I will be revisiting this video and take notes! So many gold bars here (not nuggets, bars)
Thank you, KZread, for bringing me here! GREAT conversation!
This podcast episode is awesome. The way these two amazing men speak so openly and honestly with each other is truly inspiring. I was moved by the personal stories shared and the chemistry between both men was amazing.

I teach English to native speakers as well as second-language learners. My Vietnamese students told me that it's impolite to stick the tongue out. All that you mention to enhance speech is what I tell them. Unfortunately, I cannot share your video in my online classes because the captioning is not ADA compliant (punctuation correct, etc.). Auto-generated captions are never ADA compliant. You have a great channel. Your voice is beautiful and I hope my students discover you.

Wow, that story was seriously wild!
❤❤ two of my favourite teachers coming together is GOLD!! No, make that shine bright like a Diamond x2 💎💎 Thank you both for the personal shares and all the teaching. I loved the “collaboration is necessary because we all have a different perspective “ idea. ❤. Thank you Chris and Vinh for your amazing collaboration 🙏🙏
Thanks Gents! Peace ALL.
13:16 I had my uncle who went on the path of "sanyasa", gave up everything he had and moved to the mountains. In the eastern culture this is lesser rare than the western world. I could see Chris holding it back and practiced the socratic way. :D Lovely conversation in all.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZread channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 358 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Great timing. Synchronization acomplished
This was so lovely! So cool to see these true stories behind the successes
Awesome podcast, I love Vinhs videos and binge watch them... Loved to see his journey and how much he has openly shared from heart. Great bravery to do that. Loved how he and his wife have worked it out great. Also the awesome friend who sat in the mud with you..

Thank you so much for this interview! I've definitely learnt a lot and can't wait to put them into practice
