How to become a “local celebrity”
Transcript
Bro, the most simple way to change your life, to meet more people, to be more confident, to always have something to do is to simply talk to people throughout the day. Like, just talk to strangers. It's actually a fucking hack, bro. Like, talk to people in the elevator. Talk to the front desk lady. Talk to the people at the coffee shop. Like, first of all, you just get energy from giving other people energy, and that rubs off on you, and it rubs off on your mood, and then you're more happy, and then you're better at talking to other people, and it just makes you confident. And then when you're with friends and you walk into the coffee shop and they greet you and they're like, hola, Best, like, you look so good today. And you're like, mamacita, I love you. You're the best. That just makes you look fucking cool, bro. So there's that, plus there's the possibility that you actually meet somebody that you end up becoming friends with or doing business with or dating just by talking to rank strangers. Oh, well, what do I say? How do I start talking to people, bro? Just make observations. Just like, hey. Cool bad, cool shirt, cool hair. Actually, your hair looks shitty today. Like, I swear, saying the first word is always the hardest because you're like, oh, it's it's scary. What if they fucking kill me because I said hi? But, like, all you have to do is literally say one thing and then boom, you're in a conversation. I'm telling you, bro, don't sleep on this. It'll just make you more handsome, more wealthy, more connected, and better overall.
