On Today’s Episode – 
Mark and John dive right in and start us off by talking some of Biden’s history of lying.  With his possible cognitive decline along with major media outlets so trying to protect him, Biden is one of the weakest candidates for President of all time.  
We jump over to jobs, and what are the true numbers.  People feel like their wages are down, but the Biden Administration keeps saying wages are up, but they are NOT up against the record inflation.  
The government puts all these regulations on, which causes operating costs to go up, or they make businesses responsible for functions that are a government function.  When you look at Biden, Warren, or Sanders – they spend all day talking about tax the rich.  They never tell us what a “fair share” is, nor do they talk about 1% paying 40% of the budget.

Chris's New Book 
Empathy and Understanding In Business
In the business times of yesteryear, many did not believe that empathy and understanding mixed well with sound business decisions. However, with the more recent breed of entrepreneurs, many have increasingly recognized that successful and long-lasting relationships depend on using both empathy and understanding to build a solid foundation.
The master of negotiation and Celebrity Expert(R) in this book, Chris Voss, reminds us that entrepreneurs want lasting relationships that build trust and clientele. He questions if anyone associates empathy with enterprise and entrepreneurism, and states that the qualities of trust and lasting relationships come out of understanding and respect for each other. In short, as stated by Brené Brown, "Empathy fuels connection."
To learn more about negotiation and how the Celebrity Experts(R) herein have improved their negotiating skills, it would be beneficial to read about their accomplishments. They have honed their skills and can be great mentors. They will tell you what worked for them and what did not - saving you time, energy and cost of 'reinventing the wheel' - the path to success - in negotiating.
