Human beings regularly speak 15,000 words a day. This reality makes it impossible to communicate perfectly.  Luckily, perfection isn't the goal, connection is.

Tell someone: "I made this for you."  Watch your conversations bloom and your connections deepen.  Connect with me on LinkedIn or email me to find out more ways to have damn good conversations [email protected] As always, thanks for listening to Episode 280! --Joe
