Share on social media:


Can silence be used to actually enhance your conversations? In this episode of 'Musings' we discuss: how to begin researching a new interest, Juan's experience in the consulting world, triangulating for the basics across multiple sources, why looking at the top performers might not be useful for the layman, the tell-tale signs of bullshit artists, intentionally introducing a silent pause while conversing, a surprising fact about people on silent retreats and the mental difference between introverts and extroverts. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
