 Welcome to Let's Chat! We're gonna talk about digging today, I hope you brought a spoon with you, cuz it's about to get intense. Come on. What? What? What? There's dirt everywhere. Oh my gosh. Come on, I'll meet you at the bottom. Hi, my name's Ty, and I like to talk to anyone about anything, and I think you can too. And one of the cool things that I found out about this weird hobby that I have is that I can have these really cool conversations with people where we talk about the foundational reason why they hold a belief or a very strong motivation. And you can only do that if you ask questions that dig down in the right places. What do I mean by that? Well, that's what we're gonna be talking about. Digging. Digging, baby! And so, let's talk about that. What do I mean by that? So, digging is basically asking clarification questions that help gauge how important the topic at hand is to the person that you're speaking with. You don't want to waste too much time on that superficial stuff. You want to dig, baby, down to that deep, creamy layer of goodness and have these really great conversations with someone where they can really critically understand how they arrived at their beliefs. And you can only do that when you dig in the right place. So here's an example of what it looks like. Say you had a guy come up to you and he's like, I hold this entirely unreasonable belief due to this spoon. So just to clarify, you say you believe this because of the spoon? Yes! That's exactly what I mean! So if you didn't have that spoon, would you still hold that belief? Oh, no. I'd still totally have that belief even without this goddamn spoon. Okay then, so let's just put this down then. We can talk about my spoon for a while. We don't need this. We don't need to talk about this. We don't. We don't. I love my spoon. No. Everybody loves my spoon. Let's talk about my spoon. We'll talk about this later. Don't be rude. Okay, so yeah, I'm just gonna move on from talking about the spoon. I got the spoon in a bowl of Fruity Pellet. Yeah, so I think it might be something else that concludes this. I drew Vaporeon on the back of that spoon. Yeah, okay, so I'm just gonna move the spoon out of the way. Maybe we can focus on what's really getting into that conclusion. No, just put it away. Just throw it away. There you go. Something like that. Okay, let's review. I believe that one of the coolest things that you can do is have a really good conversation with someone. And if you want to have one of those meaningful talks where you talk about something that actually makes someone change their mind on something that they hold really strong as a motivation or a really strong belief that they have, you have to make sure you're digging in the right places. If you tackle that superficial layer, the things that they don't really care about or the things they won't use to change their mind, things that they aren't resting their beliefs on, you're not gonna get to that fundamental level. In order to get there, you have to dig in the right places. Find the thing that would actually make them change their mind. Gauge their confidence. Gauge them and ask them questions that allow them to consider what they're actually resting their really strong beliefs or motivations on. Those are the really cool talks and make sure it's a fun experience because this is a really, really fun way to talk to people. Anyway, that's it. Here's my cat. He's coming up to me. Hey, buddy.
