How To Be More Positive In Field - Live From Gothenburg

Tags: ozzie rsd positive bootcamp video in field

Hey there rsdnation,

Wow, I have just been to Sweden and it is amazing the amount of hot girls everywhere. Literally everywhere you look you can see a hot girl and if you are out in the day time doing some approaching is amazing.

My summer tour of Europe is coming to an end with the summer but so far it has been great. I thought I would not enjoy it because I have been so stuck in my ways in London but it turned out to be quite rewarding. The volunteer program works perfectly well in terms of accommodation and support and guys are always helpful.

I have to admit I didn’t believe in this program at the start and now I have changed my mind about it since I can see the genius of it. All the credit to Papa and the RSD crew for putting it in place.

Before we go on to the actual article, check out my upcoming bootcamp dates:

August 3-5: Berlin
August 10-12: Copenhagen
August 17-19: London
August 20-26 Las Vegas, USA
August 31-September 1: Rotterdam
September 7-8: Zagreb
September 14-15: Prague
September 21-22: Warsaw
September 28-30: Valencia

Anyway I decided to throw a video from central station in the footsteps of Tyler’s videos and it turned out a little bit better than Zurich, so I guess there is progress there. I decided to patch a bit of debrief anyway to compensate for the lack of quality there.

I will keep practicing doing videos staring at the camera and see what happens. It is not as easy as it seems.

Disqualifying the Positive

I have come across this concept and I have recreated it in my programs unknowingly so in this video I try and explain why I use it and why we want to do it in pick up.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the reminder: Disqualifying the Positive.

That is huge because most people that I know tend to make the positive really small and the negative really really big.

Haven't even finished the 1st one but quickly -

Negative: Camera work is astonishingly bad! Like...why?

Positive: Presentation is actually really good. The only reason it's little bit off compared to the other instrusctors is that you find it weird...Aside from that the environment is just moving past you, it has the same aesthetic appeal as Tyler's ones and the content is legit. Once you stop fidgiting and fix your camera work I think your vids will be as watchable as Alex's

EDIT: Debreif was fucking sweet - as always.

Ozzie - clean, cut, wise. Thank you kindly.

And to think, you can be successful with women without thinking everyone is below you and women need their nervous system overloaded. Never would have guessed.

I love how this video is structured.
The retention is higher and the learning is deeper, and with the personal examples and the one on one coaching I can really see the value of going on one of those bootcamps.

Great stuff.

Ps! I was really intruiged by the high intensity learning.
It´s almost like high intensity training; you can produce more effort in less time by switching between high intensity and low intensity training.
How do you apply high intensity learning in every day life?

Cool stuff :)

I learned to be more mindfull of the "Mind's Agenda" as you put it, because I realize how that can short-circut concious attempts to try to be positive when deep down unconciously the agenda might be creating another meaning alltogether which can overall fuck up progress towards becoming the kind of person who is able to do this kind of stuff.

I loved Ozzie's reaction towards Segway. It seems like he has a heart of an innocent child. Awesome content as well.

I like the chill relax verbal style

Suggestion Shoot the scene first edit it so that you start talking with the audio
while you are showing us the scene.

Then get closer to the camera- above belly :)
So that it looks more pro-(we can't see your facial features)
thats really what's hard to control :)

When you are at ease with the public recording
I imagine you will naturally move out of the cameras way to show
us the segways(example)

By the way - you are so right about the way our brain goes to the negative although the goods were very good
- this is some deep stuff - at the same time very basic but important to understand.

Absolute gold.

. So glad you brought the concept of "High Intensity training" to the frontpage. Also glad you further elaborated on it. It made sense. So thats why I always hear crazy stories of guys who commit suicide at bootcamp.

I find it interesting that you say people are born with "social skills". Because take for example that you take a baby human and since his birth you put him in a cage. In fact lets make things a little better for him. You put him in a sort of zoo habitat. But its only him and food you give him. Lets say he lives like that and never sees a single human till hes 23 yrs old and they let him out of the cage. First of all since all he knew wa that cage since birth he would not know that he was imprisoned. For him since all he knew was that cage he would have thought nothing of having lived in a cage. When he gets out theres no way hell have any social skills. Who knows what he will do when he gets around people. For sure he will not know any language so he might just grunt or whatever at people.

The only thing that comes to my head is that to you sir "social skills" merely means the ability to not get killed by other humans. Maybe his instincts would at least allow him to "feel" when someone is threatening him and he wont get kiled cuz he'll run. What social skills could a guy like that have?

Great vids. It was also great how you further elaborated "focusing on the positive". Gold as we say here on RSD! That was very useful. Great! Your vids will help out so much. Peace out sir.

Please get back in shape. People tend to take fat guys with curly hair and bad accents less seriously.

To all the Ozzie haters who posted bullshit comments on this blog- Sorry Ozzie got laid more than your wimpy little bitchass dicks ever did and then decided to give you a shot ton of free value about his experiences.You all suck shit you ungrateful fucks. When you're an RSD instructor then you can judge.

Good short sweet videos as always Ozzie. Tells me I'm doing the right thing. Though I sort of disagree on the high vs. low intensity point. My experience has been its good to do low intensity on sun or mon nights to keep up momentum.

Your thoughts?

it's DEEPLY impressive what level Ozzie has achieved after being in this scene for so many years

his understanding of human psychology and his people skills are unparalleled in what I've seen in my 26 years

To be honest, I can barely scratch the surface of what he's doing, it's so far down the rabbit hole for me, even seeing what he gets his students to do, with perceived ease, is a mind fuck. Excellent.

Listen to what he's teaching guys, there's NO fluff or nonsense at all, anything like that doesn't even register with him I believe.. WOW

This is rock solid. It's like the good old "write three good things about your day at the end of the day" that is scientifically proven to work for most people - but applied to pickup.

Again Ozzie summarizes a lot of stuff (at least for me it would be much more difficult to explain and much more difficult and painful to understand) in just two or three sentences, and makes it look so simple and easy to understand that it is amazing.

Great video Ozzie I personally like this style of videos over the debrief ones. So i say you keep experimenting with this type. You'll be fucking great in no time. I would fucking suck at these type of videos if I tried lol but they look fun. Anyway, great material man. Keep it up.
