This week we are focusing on taking our friends and "followers" from the feed to real life.

This week we’re chatting about becoming someone whoremembers. Improving our active listening skills can be a way that we give back and add value to others.

In a world that is hyper focused on the self, let’s be someone who listens intently, remembers the details, and gives back!
