Golden Nuggets From This Episode:
✨ There's always something funny going on in every situation in life, every moment, and you kind of just have to find it.
✨ It's not an article you read aloud. It's a conversation with the listener, whether it's one listener or 17,000.
✨ Well, I'm speaking from my heart. And I can't plan that. Yes, you can prepare
✨ Differences between people, that's why we have stress
✨ The four words that relax people who are nervous about themselves in front of people is “IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU”.
✨ I'm channeling this, I'm not the big authority, you're the one who already knows, I'm just going to remind you.
✨ And it lands for different people. Like hearing it from one person, it might go right over your head because you don't connect with them, but like hearing it from you might be so perfect and they're saying it in the same language and tone.
✨ If you can't say it in 10 minutes, forget it.
✨ You just have to have a really good 30 second
✨ They go over time. And that says to me, you don't respect boundaries.
