You’re Advice Isn’t Quite as Good as You Think. Do this Instead!

The following is a conversation between Michael Bungay Stanier, Author of The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious, and Change the Way You Lead Forever, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving.

And he's with us now.
