Episode 82 Calling Out vs Calling In

Show Notes

 

In this episode, Tricia and Rob begin with a lively discussion about Jerry Seinfeld’s latest book, Is This Anything?

Rob brings this question to today’s discussion: When do you think it is important to be public in your calling out of poor behavior, versus when it is important to be private about it?  Is it best to always be private about calling someone out, or should the size of the audience who witnessed or heard the offense match the calling-out response?
