The Blunder Years, Episode 17: Listening vs. fixing in relationships and getting tapped out

I won’t belabor this intro because this is a pretty interesting 30-minute-or-so discussion, but John Hill and I worked on a project (website/copy/etc.) back in 2016 or so. We both live around Fort Worth. The project broadly tanked, at least on my end, but we’ve kept in touch and engaged on some work discussions, sales discussions, etc. So I had him come on this podcast, and ’twas fun. The topics we cover, broadly:

  • The value of working in service industry
  • Why sales discussions tank
  • Listening vs. trying to fix problems in a relationship
  • The value of the gym mid-day
  • Overcommunicating
  • Trying to avoid getting tapped out at the gym
  • Value-adds vs. not

You can listen to it by picking your preferred audio player right here.

Should have one more this week, then I’m off to NYC for a few days and might tape one or two there with old-school peeps … back to semi-consistent episodes around probably December 29th/30th.
