Fantastic tool for everyday interactions

This podcast has been so helpful for my communication on both progressional and personal levels. Professor Matt always brings practical techniques and references for deeper knowledge (books, articles, etc). My favorite part is the final question done to the guest on summarizing the most important communication strategy in a short sentence!
