Why is our higher education system oriented around an agrarian calendar?

Why do universities offer a curriculum that mostly doesn't prepare their students to obtain and then be successful in their jobs?

Have you ever wondered what the future of career-oriented education and development looks like?

On this episode, we talked with Joseph Fung, CEO and founder of Uvaro. Uvaro has created a new model for education.

Fung and his team developed a subscription-based model that you can either pay for as you go, or AFTER you've been hired in your next role. They designed a curriculum, program and community that has the expressed intention to get their students started in a fulfilling career and thriving thereafter. Hence their slogan: from hired to retired.

It got my wife's attention when I told her I was going to speak with a divorce attorney.

However, this was not a typical conversation with a divorce attorney because my guest on this episode, A.J. Grossman III, J.D., LL.M, Esquire, is not your typical divorce attorney—and I am nowhere near looking to get a divorce!

What drew me to want to speak with A.J., was his conversation model (LEAP: Listen, Empathize, Affirm, Problem Solve) which is very much aligned with my model (CLEAR: Create, Listen, Explore, Address and Resolve). Moreover, as a divorce attorney, A.J. is an expert in handling conflict resolution—and with all the conflict in the world (and in marriages) that's a conversation we should be having a conversation about.

A.J. is the Founder, CEO, Attorney, and Mediator at Leap Frog Divorce: https://www.leapfrogdivorce.com/. AJ is the only experienced, practicing family law attorney in Florida who holds a Master of Laws degree from the #1-ranked dispute resolution program in the United States: The Straus Institute at Pepperdine School of Law. He's a fellow podcaster. His podcast is called LEAP: Listen, Empathize, Affirm, Problem Solve. He says that he gets a deep fulfillment and satisfaction in helping people get through the most stressful problems they will likely ever experience during their lifetime.

Building rapport with 8 or 9 out of 10 people is easy. There's an automatic comfort, a shared experience, a willingness to engage, adapt and be patient for rapport to develop.

And then there's the 10-20% of people who are simply difficult to build rapport with. It could be their occupation, but mostly it's their demeanor. But, in business settings, with clients, prospects or colleagues, you have to build rapport or your conversations will be awkward, difficult and less productive.

On this solo episode of Conversations About Conversations, I discussed ten plays for your rapport building playbook.
