They're in charge, you're not.

They're picking the restaurant, you're not.

Is there a way when someone has that dynamic with you to change that dynamic?

I started with one of the hard questions first, because I think more people find themselves in visible pecking order conversations almost than maybe they realize.

You say that about leaders too.

It struck me where you said actually great leaders learn to say more with literally fewer words than the non-leader.

You believe that's one of the traits of a great communicator of a leader, correct?

Correct.

Good leaders...

Bro, they're so good.

The way you exhibit that, by the way, from the minute we flipped the camera on, even before we went live,

there's a deliberate calmness to the way in which you listen.

You actually listen calmly.

It's one of the things I noticed about you instantaneously when the camera went on.

Most of you don't know this because I'm an entrepreneur, but my major in college was actually broadcasting.

And so it's amazing that God had this way 30 years later to create podcasts, and then I was able to take advantage of that background.

But one of the things you have to learn in broadcasting when you write your copy is to write things with fewer words

Because you have to deliver segments in these little bites of time.

And that taught me to communicate with fewer words, saying the same thing other people take more words to do.

And I do believe that that's an effective use.
