It’s the silence between words or notes in music that gives them meaning – if we just string words together without breaks, it’s just noise. Steve uses this fascinating analogy to ask you a question, “Are you making music or noise when you talk to customers?” He tells you why you need to STFU when you’re having a discussion.

 

In this episode, Steve discusses:

• The power of silence

• Story from Steve’s early business when he learned how long 60 seconds really feel

• Analogy of words or notes in music to tell that words are meaningless without silence

• Encouragement to roleplay STFU with people around you

• Asking a question and then staying silent is more important than the question itself
