Brad and Justin explore the essence of effective communication, diving deep into overcoming societal challenges and harnessing the power of curiosity. They discuss the importance of setting aside assumptions, being fully present, and engaging with genuine interest to foster meaningful connections. By embracing discomfort and stepping into uncomfortable conversations, we can challenge our beliefs, grow personally, and cultivate deeper relationships.

Effective communication requires us to prevent offense by reacting with engagement rather than defensiveness. It's about taking personal responsibility for our reactions and not letting assumptions or labels define our identities. Brad and Justin highlight how building confidence through repeated practice and surrounding ourselves with supportive, like-minded individuals can transform the way we connect with others. They emphasize that setting a positive example for others, leading with openness and curiosity, and prioritizing meaningful dialogue are crucial for personal development and effective communication.

In a world where the pursuit of comfort often hinders growth, Brad and Justin encourage us to embrace discomfort as a path to change. They remind us that surrounding ourselves with the right people and creating conversations that continue beyond initial exchanges are vital for personal and societal growth. Tune in to learn how these principles can transform your interactions and inspire positive change in every aspect of your life.

On this episode, Justin Blair and I head into the 2022 midterm elections talking about the state of the nation, becoming consciously aware of the things that actually influence your decision-making, and how you need to vote this time. Keeping your head in the sand is no longer an option, especially when it is easier than ever to see what results when you vote for one "side" vs. the other.

It's time to vote smart, not with your heart.
