Quotes from the episode
I think a lot of us kinda simmer in this little mindset of, everybody else can do this and I can’t.
We’ve all heard the old saying it’s the sweetest sound that anybody ever hears their own name. It elevates the conversation differently to be able to use names.
The test isn’t on how well you can recognize the name. The test is on how well you can say the names. That’s what you need need to practice doing.
