How to Connect With Others in a Conversation

Don't just make it about you and say, hey, this is who I am and this is what I do. And when you do try to connect, don't interrupt, right? So there are plenty of times, probably a dozen times this event in three days where I was talking to one or two or three or four people. We're mid conversation and someone would come up, join the circle and just start talking. Feels very transactional at that point.
