Succinct

I have been listening to one episode a day on my way to work and I would apply some of the learnings immediately at work. This has spandex my understanding of communication in business and personally. Nevertheless, I have noticed that starting episode 42, Matt is getting more involved in the conversation and less time is given to the new guests on the podcast. Previously, we would get more out of the guests and “just the right” amount from the host to keep the conversation interesting and get the most out of it. Thank you.
