Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know.
Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is to let people know why you are doing what you are doing, especially when giving gifts or asking people for certain things. That way they will feel honored by your thoughtfulness. and perhaps a bit more inclined to see things through your eyes.
I think we have all received gifts that seemed random at best. Playful cat mittens, when you have a dog. A Tom Clancy book, when you prefer literary fiction. Then there are the reposts and shares we see on social media. What exactly did the person find interesting about this content? Why do they think others would find it interesting? Then there are the invitations that don't quite land.
You're not sure why someone would think you would want to do whatever it is they invited you to do. We have been in these situations and we would probably like to avoid other people thinking that our requests are totally random. So when you are trying to connect with someone, make it plain exactly why you are doing or asking what you are doing or asking.
When you give a gift, in the card, explain why you chose it for the person. I got you this scarf because polka dots always make me think of you. I know you love Karen Russell's books, so I thought you would like this book by Kevin Wilson. You often mention being cold at work, so I thought you could use this throw blanket at your desk. On social media, don't just share, repost, or like something.

Chapter 2: How can explaining your thoughtfulness enhance gift-giving?
Would you be open to decorating for the year-end party? I remember what a hit your party was last year. Could you give the wrap-up and launch at the end of the training? I admire the way you inspire a sense of purpose in our volunteers, and I feel like you could send them out motivated for the work ahead.
When you connect what you are offering or asking to your audience, you make sure they understand why you think it is a fit for them. They will feel more seen. And that is seldom a bad thing. In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening. And here's to making the most of our time. Thanks for listening to Before Breakfast.
