  • Ep#102 Scratch the Buts
    Join Greg and Allister as they jump back into the podcast after a summer of holidays and covid. The crew discusses the use of "But" in conversations, along with other words and actions, that can cut short good healthy discussions. This topic came out of Ep#100 and the crew couldn't wait to get into it. A great conversation that we hope everyone can benefit from.

  • Ep#99 Interaction-Use the Tools
    Greg and Allister get into a great discussion and appreciation around the use of various tools to understand ourselves, those around us, and how we interact.
