A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.

He died 5 months after recording it.

It was his final gift to the world.

Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.

The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.

And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.

How to speak.

15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:

Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.

Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.

The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.

Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.

Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.

Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.

Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.

Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.

Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.

Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.

End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.

Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.

Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.

The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.

Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.

Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.

Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.

You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.

Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.

He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

Watch it tonight.

@gportalint Any word on the SoulMask outtage and "Login server does not match" error messages? It's been over 24 hrs now and no ETA has been given?

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@gportalint When will you fix the SoulMask "Login server does not match" issue, it's been down now 24 hrs. Last response was you guys had not ETA, but that was hours ago. Any updates?

@CarlHigbie History told you to be afraid of witches instead of the mobs burning the smart, healing women demanding accountability at the stake. They shouted "You racist" sorry"You witch!" to justify their murders. The mob at the church/ICE today are the same hivemind witch burners of old.

@tariqnasheed your account should be banned for hate speech and promoting violence. There is no universe where it’s justified for a non-participant bring a weapon after posting on social media they want to hurt ppl stab a wonderful child in the heart. You’re repulsive.

@SuperCPPodcast I love the idea of the gift cards.

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@SuperCPPodcast Love it!

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@EndWokeness Talk about making the point of how bad our country needs this.

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@GavinNewsom Maybe this session should include just listening to what the voters want since they're your boss. You're a really terrible employee right now and the election was your Performance Review and you need to view it like that.

@DerekNeverFails @oldmandierkop According to Politico she's $20 mill in debt, so she wasted 1 billion 20 million. https://t.co/Nl8lsiI7Bh

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@rustyrockets The radical leftist media weaponized & targeted our most vulnerable who're unable to see through the lies like healthy people. What's disturbing is how many have been affected through social contagion & honestly view wanting to end war, have peace, prosperity & safety as evil

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@soccermamax2 I wonder with historic early voting how that happened? Could it have been all the 3am votes last time?

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@DefiantLs Shits & Giggles

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@gaughen Dude. Your state saw an assassination attempt where rallygoers were shot, 1 died, serious injuries - people aren't stupid. They don't want to get shot. They just want no new wars, a booming economy, historic middle east peace deals, and to afford food, clothing & shelter again.

@RepublicanRefl @elonmusk This breaks my heart because it isn't just this isolated poor couple, it's happening everywhere. Betrayed by the people who have taken our hard-earned tax dollars with false promises and sold us all out.

@RockyMountViews I read this tweet and just saw:

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@KahliefAdams Nevermind that creating the Dept of Ed in 1979 has been an unmitigated disaster for our children. https://t.co/5MZqqmpDbZ

[EntrePods @Entrepods]

@tltown2019 Since Carter created and launched it in 1979 our educational system has degraded, our standing on the educational world stage has plummeted and our students are no longer prepared or able to compete. It was a failure & our children deserve more. https://t.co/5MZqqmp5mr

@realDonaldTrump People are listening from many platforms. Trump was talking about total views.
