The great businessman, author and speaker Stephen Covey once said, "In relationships, the little things are the big things."

In my life I've had the great fortune to meet many incredible people. Some of these people became friends for a season; others became friends for life. No matter how long the relationships have lasted or how deep they've gone, they've all contributed to my life both personally and professionally.

Whether in life or business, the ability to build and maintain strong relationships is a skill that serves people well. In this age of digital connection nothing can substitute human contact and personal connection, and those who take the time and effort to invest in relationships will survive and thrive.

On today's show, I talk with my friend and writer Brenda Barbosa about the power of relationships and the need to cultivate them at all stages in life.
