When people are in difficult situations and want to talk with you, we often have a tendency to want to offer advice or explain how we might relate to their problem. But what your friends and co-workers normally need is someone to listen to them. In our second show, Ryan shares how he found himself doing more talking and less listening in recent conversations with friends, prompting Robb to expand on the importance of Active Listening and building the skills to be a more effective listener.

Robb & Ryan recap Show #2, giving a preview of the episode coming out on Monday October 15th where the two friends get into a conversation about Active Listening and being a better listener for people when they need more of an ear than advice or suggestions.

After each live show, Robb & Ryan get out of character and go off script to recap the conversation. The briefing is recorded and published to the web, including the WCT Signup Page and then released here onto the Podcast.

In our inaugural episode, Ryan shares his decision to make coaching his son's baseball team a priority over his career interests. Robb shares his recent lunch with Steve Forbes. The two then find themselves in a conversation about building community in business. Robb encourages Ryan to focus on one person - one relationship at a time.
