We talk about the role of humor in conversations. We get into why having a personal website isn\u2019t optional if you want to control your online and AI-based reputation.  We talk about how Nick met his wife, how saying yes changed his life, and how the friendship recession is affecting almost everyone (even if they don\u2019t realize it). We also get into AI tools and book related stuff.  Enjoy! NEXT STEP: \ud83d\udcac I\u2019m the Secret Weapon Top Performers at Google, Netflix, and the US Army Trust for People Skills Coaching.
