I was treated to a great lesson on influence at a conference I attended. Justin Elam’s message was one he had been sharing for a while about how to equip others by asking questions vs. providing ready answers. The outline of his talk started with this Strauss quote: “The wise man doesn’t give the right answers. He poses the right questions.” This is my summary of the lessons from his talk. #iwant2CUsoar

This episode is both a quick summary of the work of the folks from Humor, Seriously and Pat Lencioni's new book and test on the 6 Types of Working Genius.

This is a 2019 interview with my grandfather aka Pepop at the age of 98. The conversation moves back and forth over the course of the years 1937 to 1957 (primarily- with a touch of WWI family background provided as well). He talks about his work as a truck driver, how he met my grandmother during WWII, he describes our family, starting with his parents as Italian immigrants and how they all lived, loved and learned in Brooklyn, NY by way of Italy in the middle part of the 20th century. (Warning: As a Brooklyn Italian through and through there may be a couple of colorful words in here)

Got Circle? Sometimes you NEED to go where everybody knows your name. This is a podcast and blog about circles based on the Cheers Theme: “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name..and they’re always glad you came…. You want to go where people know, people are all the same, you want to go where every-bod-y knows your nameeee.”

What if that want, was really more of a need? What if we don’t just want to be with people who are just as messed up as we are, but we really need to be with people, just like we need the very air that we breathe?

The audio is a bit rough, partially because I am just recording from iPhone and partially o purpose as I recorded it on a walk through trees to simulate Dagobah more closely.
