My next guest is Michael Sorensen, a marketing executive who never set out to be a best-selling author, relationship coach, and personal-development junkie, but he ended up being one. While working through his own issues for over 4 years with a therapist, he hunted up every best principle and practice he could find about living a rich, full, and connected life.

He is the author of I Hear You - The surprisingly simple skill behind extraordinary relationships. This book is a non-fiction #1 best-seller on Amazon.com and it's all about validation and how it can improve every conversation you ever have.
