Secret to Making Yourself Understood
Host: Scott Smith
Episode Description
In this engaging episode, Scott Smith shares a powerful lesson he learned while speaking to 1,000 martial arts school owners in Las Vegas. When faced with an audience speaking multiple languages, Scott discovered a universal truth about effective communication - you must speak the language of your listener.
With his trademark humor and straightforward style, Scott reveals why "inside language" and technical jargon create barriers instead of connections. Through a brilliant demonstration that had the entire room counting to ten in different languages simultaneously, he illustrates how impossible it is to connect when we're not speaking a common language.
Whether you're trying to communicate with clients, children, or a spouse, this episode provides practical wisdom on how to meet people where they are and join the conversation already happening in their minds. This skill transforms relationships in both business and life.
Featured Story
While speaking at a martial arts convention in Las Vegas, Scott faced an audience of 1,000 people who spoke different languages. To demonstrate the communication barrier, he had several school owners introduce themselves in their native languages, then asked everyone to count to ten simultaneously. The resulting cacophony of voices in dozens of languages perfectly illustrates his point: if you want to connect with someone, you must first speak in a way they can understand, not in your "inside language" or technical jargon.
Key Takeaways
Memorable Quotes
"How do you expect anybody that you do business with to understand what you're saying if they can't understand what you're saying?"
"Communication is everything in this world. If you cannot communicate what you're all about, how will anybody help you get there?"
"If you don't take action, that's an action. If you don't say anything, that's saying something."
