12 years ago Andrew Hales had a video go viral on YouTube. This video landed him on TV, in newspapers, and on YouTube's home page. It also landed him with a new career idea - to be a YouTuber.
I remember seeing some of his first videos and CRACKING UP. They were hilarious. After watching a few of them, I felt inspired to go out in the world and crack open conversations with people I have never met.
Andrew Hales takes talking to people to a whole new level.

Humans are storytelling creatures. We relate through story, we're inspired by story, we're moved by story, and we experience life through story. From thousands of years ago to today - we've been sharing narrative with one another to come together.
This episode is a reflection on that and some tactical info that may help your stories. Stories are important because that can improve conversation. And when conversation is improved, relationships are improved. And when relationships are improved, life is improved! This is out of my expertise - so next time I'm bring in an EXPERT!

If you don't listen to the whole podcast - here's what I hope you remember. Your life will be much better when you talk to people! And that can be hard - especially cause COVID kept us away from each other, we have screens frying our brains, and every day it seems like life gets more stressful. But, it's important that we prioritize it.
The method I refer to in this podcast is HEFE. I also share an excerpt from a Donald Trump speech! Let me know what you think.

Ever thought to yourself, "Sheesh, he/she is complicated! I just don't understand them." I'm sure we've all thought this a time or two and we were totally right! Humans are very complicated. It's hard for us to understand each other - it's even harder for us to share with one another what makes it so hard for us to understand one another.
In this episode I wanted to share some of my favorite HUMAN QUIRKS. These are things that make the human experience fun but also miserable. For instance, we're far less likely to reach out for help the more we need it. Or, we flock to digital platforms that promise connectedness yet are actual best friends are all ones we made in person.
It's fun, it's complicated, and it's worth it. ALSO - I'm rebranding back to Talk to People Podcast. Hope you enjoy.

One of the biggest painpoints is relationships is CONFLICT. We fear conflict more than heights, running out of gas, or public speaking. And it makes sense why because relationships are ESSENTIAL. When they are at threat, then our wellbeing is also at threat.
In this episode I outline three of the most helpful ways to navigate disagreement. I've learned these via some of the best resources out there, particularly the book "Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most."
Send this to your manager, your coworker, your romantic partner, and your sibling.

As always - life is better when you talk to people.

In this episode I attack FOUR of the most common self-limiting beliefs I hear about talking to people. With each belief, we'll unpack why it exists, what it actually is, and how to circumvent it. Remember - I'm not a clinician or licensed psychologist - so I won't be writing any prescriptions or giving that advice. But - I am someone who thinks about communication, talks about it with people nonstop, and wants us all to improve.
