Beyond “I’m Fine”: Master Small Talk with Better Answers to “How Are You?”


Listen Later

You hear it every day: “How are you?” But most professionals only have a few boring answers: “I’m fine.” “I’m good.” In this episode, Grant breaks down how to respond in more natural, expressive, and professional ways — plus how to ask the question like a native speaker.

✅ Learn the difference between:

  • Positive responses (“Never been better”)
  • Neutral responses (“Same old, same old”)
  • Negative responses (“Under the weather”)

🎯 You’ll also discover:

  • When “How are you?” is just a polite hello
  • Casual phrases like “How’s it going?” and “What’s the haps?”
  • How tone of voice changes the meaning entirely

Start mastering small talk — and make your everyday English sound way more natural.
