How to Make Small Talk with Anyone

In this video, we learn five steps to make small talk with anyone by breaking down some tricks that Joe Rogan uses on his podcast to connect with everyone from academics to athletes to celebrities.

Grease the Wheels Early with a Compliment

• Start the conversation with a positive vibe by giving someone a compliment.

• Focus on three easy types of compliments for small talk: their work, their energy, or a platonic physical complement.

• Avoid making three common mistakes when giving compliments: making the compliment too sexual, making a compliment you don't mean which makes you seem manipulative, and dwelling on the compliment.

Transitioning Between Topics Using "Reminds Me Of"

• Transition between topics using "reminds me of" thinking.

• Use lateral thinking to transition to something else if you can't think of anything to say.

Conclusion

• Asking yourself what does this remind me of and then branching off in whatever direction first is an easy habit that makes a huge difference in the quality of your small talk.

How to Make Small Talk More Interesting

In this section, Joe shares two tricks to make small talk more interesting and engaging.

Tricks for Engaging Small Talk

• Most people engage in boring small talk by asking generic questions like "Where are you from?" Instead, ask why questions that get someone talking about what they value. For example, instead of asking where someone lives, ask why they live there.

• Ask fun questions that remove the constraint of having to be realistic. For example, "If you had a magic wand and could do anything to fix a problem, what would you do?" or "If you were the king of the world, what would you do?"

• Laugh easily when someone says something funny. This makes them feel good and encourages them to continue talking.

• Mirror the last one to three words that someone says back to them. This helps build rapport and makes them feel heard.

The Importance of Laughing in Conversation

Tips for Incorporating Laughter into Conversations

• Laugh every time you find something funny. This will help make conversations more enjoyable and encourage others to open up.

• Watch something funny before going out with friends or engaging in conversation with strangers. This will help put you in a better state of mind for laughing during the conversation.
