Today I share an excerpt from one of my all-time favorite books.  It's Chris Voss' Never Split the Difference. This section means so much to me, that I typed it out by hand.  It's exactly what you need as you face the inevitable challenges that the holidays and New Year have in store.  It's also a great time to go back and listen to Episode 9 , my full conversation with Chris. I hope each and every one of you has an amazing holiday season.  Here's to being 1% better every day in 2019! Thank you for listening! --JF

This week I share an original episode I created while traveling.  I was away from the studio, so the audio quality is lower than usual. But I shipped it anyway.   Why? I produce a new podcast every week.  That's the standard, and that's the rubric for success.  Sometimes the search for perfection gets in the way of "pressing send."  My hope is that this imperfect episode helps someone.  As always, thank you for listening! --JF
