It’s frustratingly common to get completely tongue tied when we’re in front of people we’d like to impress. Which is doubly unfortunate because it’s often those situations that could lead to us landing a great new job, connecting with a mentor, or even dating someone we’re smitten with.
That’s why in this video I want to cover how you can avoid that awkward trap and impress the people you admire by standing out in a positive way. To do that, we’ll be referencing someone who has done it many times: Sean Evans of Hot Ones.
⏰TIMESTAMPS⏰
1:38 - #1: Ask questions beyond the obvious ones.
3:09 - #2: Use the question preamble.
4:48 - #3: Steer conversation towards things that elicit emotion.
7:40 - #4: Tease playfully / have fun.
9:18 - #5: Comfortably express disagreement.

"see them as a human" Indeed I got to meet one of my musical heroes some years ago. It was backstage at a show, and everyone was losing their minds, asking for autographs and pictures. He wasn't in a great space at the time. His band-mate and dear friend passed away just 6 months prior. I approached him, and said "I'm so sorry for your loss" He was caught off guard. I think it was that human moment that so many skipped past all night. I saw him again a few months later at another show backstage. I made a comment, and I think it clicked who I was. It's like he was genuinely happy to see me. Such a great experience

Errol! Hey my friend!!

[@errolwebber]

@@joy_villa Well, hello there!

[@JS-th7ow]

Just wanted to thank you. This channel has helped me a lot. Due to medical conditions I spent my teen years in isolated. I’m 20 now and this channel has helped me a lot in terms of socializing and being a more confident person overall.

[@romanpabianczyk8870]

Maybe if it helped you then maybe it can also help me, because I was an outsider and scapegoat whole my life and I would like to create more social mind.

[@jesseowens4652]

It helps a lot to keep your mind open and be truly curious about the person. If you are genuine it will show in a very obvious way and they will respect you for that.

[@sweatiegonzalez9732]

Sean is inspiring. I'll come back for inspiration any time I ever need to interview with anyone.

[@AlexPlatinumAdvice]

This is a lot of great info, whenever I go out on a date I typically ask 5 in depth questions with the girl, then get into more detail. Also, in the past when I would have interviews I would always study up on the company. When they were founded, who founded them, what their goal and values are. I almost always got hired for every job I applied. Good stuff my man.

[@Ana-bx6fn]

Could you give examples of the questions that you asked during the interviews?

[@chag3406]

^ and the first 5

[@drpizzagames1015]

Nothing to comment just want the notification when/if you respond to the replies

[@NelemNaru]

Do you have a set of questions to asks on dates, or are they different depending on the girl?

[@nexo8742]

What are the 5 deep questions?

[@lexilowe4928]

Sean Evans is an awesome interviewer. He inspired me to start asking people more and better questions about themselves, and it's made my social life so much better. And for job interviews, I do a ton of research on all the people I'll meet. Probs not as much research as Sean and Chris do, but it would be weird if I tried to do an "Explain that Gram" on a job interview.

[@dontmindme6995]

For me the most important thing about conversations and questions is to ask something you're actually interested in. Sean asks phenomenal questions, but his job is to get information out of people for the sake of informing and entertaining viewers and listeners. When I'm in a conversation, I want this information for myself, so there is no point in asking something you don't care about. Also it gives the conversation genuity which can make even ordinary, uncreative questions feel natural and interesting

[@MrTheRabber]

Amen.

[@ericsarchive7718]

The Evans Ramsey interview is maybe one of my all-time favorites. Every Hot Ones is a Master Class.

[@marc-andrecote2948]

Got it, so killer question on first date: so do you think your insecurities in relationship are the fruit of a long and heartfelt grief from the fact your dad did not love you?

Not open ended enough. Can still boil it down to yes or no, assuming the person decides to answer instead of immediately throwing themselves at you

[@TheManhwaSummary]

Hahahahahaha

[@earlyangelo5704]

Noted. Thanks

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

This should help with my dating life, or lack thereof. Thanks 🤙

[@TheDonkyGamePlay]

I once commented how good of an interviewer Sean is, that his questions really make the other side open up and he really digs a lot of information about them. Never got so many disagreeing comments hah. Glad you pointed this out

[@nawwk79]

Being yourself and not bombarding your brain with all this "How To" videos is the best way to impress someone genuinely.

[@SohItGoes]

This such a well put-together video. Really so thoughtful! Thank you.

[@scotthullinger9955]

The way you impress me is by not trying to impress me. Humility says a lot.

[@Nero_2276]

I loved the line about asking a job interviewer about what they like about working there. That can lead into many directions.

[@JaysonT1]

I ask that on very interview Iźve been on. They always say"the people". Ironically, I worked a job (setting up stages) where the people I worked with and the environment were VERY hastle.

[@janetmiller2160]

@@JaysonT1 hostile, jicywi

[@NathanHarrison7]

Great advice. Great practical points to implement, use, with anyone who 1) respects you enough to want to engage with you on an “emotional” level and 2) see number 1 above. If they don’t basically nothing you say, or do, will matter. If someone simply doesn’t feel comfortable around you, they might not even consciously know why they feel that way, they’ll quickly find a conscious reason not to. At that point all meaningful conversations are over before they start no matter how you phrase the questions.

[@Mike_In_Idaho]

Great video -- I really appreciate the tips to crack a joke occassionally, and how to assert yourself in a disagreement without offending. And now I want to go watch (and rewatch) more of Sean's videos!! :D

[@1chaplain]

The day Sean gets featured in Charisma in Command, is the day I'm satisfied with the internet. Great content

[@devam7768]

That mindset is golden! It's been a true game-changer in my own life. Sometimes we put the people we admire on a pedestal instead of seeing them as a fellow human being. This prevents us from connecting with them and making a lasting impression.

[@jesseworkme]

you, and your team, are good at interviewing people ill give you that .. its frustratingly common for "influencers" and "celebrities" to believe they are better than the rest of the population

[@mikeheerkens1195]

I watched this video two weeks ago and yesterday I used the 'best and worst' structure in a flirty conversation with a girl i just met. Her reaction was exactly the same as in the video and I could tell she was impressed. I am now in the possession of her number. Thanks!

[@millaze]

I read this as “I am now in possession of her” and I stopped cold

[@athmaid]

Sean Evans and Mike Laita are the best interviewer on KZbin imho, very different approaches but they know how to get stories out of their guests

[@ceacea364]

Makes So much sense after you flawlessly explained it Thank you!!

[@lizicadumitru9683]

You know the more I think about what this channel does and promotes the more I'm surprised at the genius of it 👍

[@blakeglosson]

Insightful and tangibly helpful. I love the idea of being playful with higher-profile people, rather than always speaking/responding in literal terms. Will definitely be using this. Thanks, Charlie!

[@jhouseholter]

Fantastic video. It feels like being curious and interesting are at the core of this technique. More importantly, it explains how to be both.

[@reverendpant9392]

Thank you so much for this video it has this really changed my perspective on asking questions and I'm sure this new found knowledge will come in handy.

[@jakedouglassmith8779]

GREAT LESSON!!! Too many people lack basic communication skills let alone these kind of skills that take you to the next level. Well Done!

[@xingmenneigong]

I have a sarcastic dry sense of humour and it serves me well. I feel I need to change too much when I watch your videos. Causes me to over think, forget, then never say anything at all to people. Charisma comes through practice, intuition, empathy and a whole host of other skill sets learnt over time. To sum up your videos in one phrase "think outside the box", as cliche as that phrase is, it suits you perfectly. Stay confident, congratulations on your original KZbin channel and best of luck in the future.

[@__-fi6xg]

I think everyone has His own Magic, at.least If you are good with communication. I conciously decide to be less social and its Just the part of me who wants to be alone from time to time. You either Accept me as i am or Not, i dont care.

[@phoqueme]

The main reason this channel is awesome! For beginners or shy people, this is a great course and checklist, and for seasoned charisma veterans, you can still get some great tips for your own strategies. Very well spoken

How to impress someone you admire: “Be unapologetically yourself” Done.

[@peterDcontact]

i am sorry, this is the kind of advice Tony Robbins would give, the kind that i hate, what does that even mean?

[@ZachWeiss]

peterDcontact it means to stop trying to watch advice on how to be something other than how you would normally be. If you put on a show, the facade will fail at some point and that person you were trying to impress won’t stick around. If you don’t try to impress them from the get-go, if it’s meant to be, they will stay anyway.

[@adels.185]

@@peterDcontact Means (if I got it right) that you are yourself and stick to your opinions and beliefs unapologetically

[@ben-asinus]

Yeah, but to be able to do that you have to be the best person you can possible be. And that is hard or nearly impossible. So it is useful to be aware of the fact that you are not perfect. And it is good to be modest and to ask for apology every time you were wrong.

[@ZachWeiss]

ben yeah of course. When you are objectively wrong on something. I do like the tips on this video, it’s more like in my opinion, when you act like yourself without restraint then you tend to polarize people and the only people who stick around are the ones who count. 😊

[@ScooterDoge]

Good info. I’ve never had a problem talking with anyone, even celebrities. Everyone is just a person.

[@briangallagher710]

This is excellent advice. I would also add that one should never lie or distort the truth, no matter how bad.

[@calmman32]

Little gratitude here, I have used your teachings on interviews, for my agents and team leads to help them make better connections. Thank you for sharing

[@VacantCityDrifters]

this was a really good walk-thru ... building a connection over our shared humanity is not just a key to personal connections, but something we need as a fractured society to build bridges to heal polarization
