Scott Smith reveals a game-changing approach to modern communication in this engaging episode. Drawing parallels between dogs' straightforward communication style and humans' complex interactions, Scott introduces his "Rule of Three" for better communication. Through personal anecdotes and coaching experiences, he demonstrates how switching from asynchronous messaging to real-time conversation can transform day-long debates into five-second solutions.


Featured Story:

During a Face Your Passion coaching session, Scott shares how a member's day-long text message debate highlighted a common communication pitfall. This real-world example showcases why immediate voice communication often proves more effective than extended text exchanges.


Key Takeaways:

- Text-based communication often leads to prolonged, unresolved conflicts

- Face-to-face or voice conversations resolve issues more efficiently

- Instant messaging can cause reactions to fester unnecessarily

- Simple communication approaches often yield better results

- Being present in the moment improves communication quality

- Real-time dialogue prevents misunderstandings


Memorable Quotes:

"Take a 24-hour debate, turn it into a five-second solution just like that."

"Stand up, take a step, repeat, keep going until you get what you want."

"Nothing will communicate better than just two people in front of each other."


Scott's Three-Step Approach:

1. Recognize when asynchronous communication is creating conflict

2. Switch to synchronous communication (phone or face-to-face) after three exchanges

3. Address issues immediately rather than letting them fester
