Think of this episode as Communication 101 .  Good communication is fundamental to strong relationships between spouses, parents and children, friends, etc. In this episode Jamie and Guy lay down the basics of good communication: listening, having empathy, and getting curious about the other person's thoughts or point of view.  Oftentimes we focus on what we should say when we are talking with others. But communication is more effective if we spend  more time listening and less time talking. Like always, Jamie and Guy discuss what works and what doesn't work through personal experiences and stories.  We think you'll enjoy it:)
