And when you have two of those people, it's the best when you can ask each other questions, have an exchange of information, have a little banter, have a little flirt, even if it's friendly fire, right?

Like it's okay.

But stop trying to talk over people.

Being a good listener is about patience, right?

It's not about being like, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, and you were doing, oh yeah, yeah, that's kind of similar to how I was like doing this and like, that's not similar at all, but you know what, I'm just gonna say something because I have to say something.

You don't have to talk all the time to have a good conversation.

Some of the best conversations I ever had was listening to people.

I didn't say a word.

I just listened and I asked questions.

They told me about their experience.

For example, the other day I was speaking to somebody who lives in Canada and I was curious, like, what is it like?

You know, what is the whole experience like here?

And I listened.

I was quiet.

I wanted to hear them out.

You don't need to say something all the time for you to be impactful with your conversations, right?

Honestly, if you sit back and you're a good listener and somebody wants to befriend you, wants to talk to you, they will do the legwork.

I promise you people, people who want to yap about themselves will yap about themselves.

But somebody who wants to have a good conversation with you, they will match your energy.

They will.
