6. Emotional Intelligence (feat Brent Darnell)

42 minutes

This week, we sit down with Brent Darnell. Brent is a best-selling author, speaker, coach, consultant, and emotional intelligence specialist. A few years ago, Eddie was able to hear Brent speak and was able to chat with him at a CURT conference. Eddie has been talking about Brent since then, so we wanted to get him on the show to talk about what he’s doing to change how we work with each other in construction.
