The Derek Loudermilk Show AOA 152 | David Wood and Sarah Gajek | Get Real and Build Better Relationships

Get Real, the game of asking questions, was developed by David Wood and Sarah Gajek with this sole mission in mind: to create deeper and more meaningful connections - be it in romantic relationships, at work, or friendship.
David and Sarah are currently in Australia to work on their app called Get Real which gives you 450 questions to ask when you want to spark a deep conversation. At first, David said he was a bit doubtful but eventually “fell in love with my own app.” If there’s anyone else who can create something very meaningful out of just asking questions, it’s David. He talks about how to become a coach and create a business on episodes 48 and 49 of the podcast.
I got to know David and Sarah better as we played Ultimate Frisbee together and hung out for months in 2016 in Bali.
On this episode, we take turns asking one another questions off the app - and I have to be honest, I got amazed with how much these questions got me thinking and reflecting. Get Real is indeed a sure-fire way to learn more about the person in front of you, or the person you work with.
On this episode, you will learn:
How you too can create deeper connections by asking important questions and actually listening to the other party’s answers
What the basis is for the questions on this app
How David and Sarah work as business partners
Samples of questions from the app
How to market an app or other offering
How better questions enhance business events
About my struggles as a new father and how I feel about it
How to program a feedback loop into your product
