Episode notes

One of the biggest mistakes i see people make is they think more is better. When we add details or words or descriptions to our point, or to even a sentence, we are doing a disservice to ourselves. We need t understand that more is less. Ah, we need to introduce pauses so that people have that critical digestion time. Remember, all we need to do as speakers and communicators is is say the words that we're familiar with.
