Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Hey, hey, hey, hey. So yesterday I posted that is something better than nothing. And I'm going to continue on that, on that framework because that's what I've got right now. I've got nothing. And I'm going to turn it into something I just did. I just led a quick improv comedy workshop for people at my work, and they. It's funny. Forget. One forgets how much one knows until they teach something that someone else doesn't know. Okay, you remember about 14 seconds ago when I said I didn't have anything today and that I was going to find something? I think it just took me 14 seconds to realize there's my title. It's teach something, you know, to people who do not know what you know. There you go. There you have it. And you want to know the best way to learn something. You can read it, or you can study it, or you can listen to it, you can watch it, but the best way to learn anything is to teach it. So when you really want to learn something deeply, teach it, because then you have to understand the concept more deeply and ideally with some experience that you have experienced yourself. And maybe you've even taught others. But even if you haven't taught others yet, if you are to the point where you have succeeded in the thing, like, for me, it would be improv comedy. I've now taken level six at Boom, Chicago and Amsterdam, like a year and a half or two years of courses weekly.
[00:01:43] What's that, like 52 weeks times 3 hours? I mean, it's a lot. So I know myself, you know, and so I can especially teach beginners, because compared to beginners, I am an Uber guru in their eyes. And remember that as well. I am basically a student of improv comedy. So guess who I can teach? I can teach people who aren't even yet students of improv comedy. I can't teach my fellow level six, Boom, Chicago people because they know everything I know. Although you could even make a case that I paid attention to different things, or I learned different things than they did, and so I. I could teach them some things that they learned that are different, that I learned that are different from some of the things that they have learned. So that's my case.
[00:02:37] Hello.
[00:02:39] There you go. There's my case for how do you really learn something? Teach it. I just taught this mini workshops who, people have no idea what improv comedy is about because I have a year and a half of improv comedy training. That's it. There you go. Remember a little bit ago when I said that I didn't have anything and that I would soon have something.
[00:03:02] I have something, and that something is that teach it to really learn it. But also the meta, the hidden tip here is that I thought I had nothing to talk about in this fine Thursday, even though I am literally getting rained on my bike in the woods with one hand on a Thursday. I've got a phone call in six minutes and I'm doing my video. So did you catch all those possible excuses that I am not allowing to stop my creation? And that's how you turn nothing into something.
[00:03:38] I'm Bradley Charbonneau. I record a video no matter what, every single Thursday. Even when I think I've got nothing, it becomes something. Give it some time. Hit record and see what happens. There you go. If you really want to learn it, teach it. Whoa. Alright. By the way, four out of five doctors don't recommend biking in the woods in the rain with one hand while doing a video. But hey, I'm the other doctor.
[00:04:06] I am not a doctor. That was a disclaimer. All right, goodbye, everybody. Have a great week. And remember, keep creating. How do you find your joy? How do you find your meaning? Create it. It's all inside of you. You basically have to let it out. It's like the opposite of what a lot of us think. That it's outside of us and we have to let it in. It's inside of us and we have to let it out.
[00:04:29] Did I say at some point that I didn't have anything to talk about today? I think I've got like three videos in a matter of minutes there and I haven't even crashed. All right, it's raining pretty hard. I think it says four minutes. I'm at five minutes. That's it for this week. I'm Bradley Sharbin and Thursday Thunder, Repossible podcast. I'm here every single week. Why? Because it's weekly and on Thursday I just do it. See you next week.
