It's hard for me too.
But the raising your hand approach and saving the thought is,
is such a challenge in a conversation.
Well, even asking something that's just different.
Like I, you and I probably encounter far more new people on average than almost anyone.
I will meet sometimes thousands of people in a week.
It's just a part of my job.
So how do you connect with them on a real level?
I will stop and try to get everyone's names.
If I don't know your name, I'll make sure it was Jared.
I wanna make sure I got it right.
Like that's a very core skill that's so easy to do that most of us just think nothing of.
So it's very tough.
So in that situation, if you're meeting a bunch of people all at once, it can be overwhelming, right?
It's like trying to drink from a fire hose.
There are ways to slow it down.
There's ways to remember names for short-term purposes.
Long-term is very different because of the way memory imprints.

Most viewed in the world for that year.
