Episode notes

The real question posed is why do we actually need a suitcase? Despite our dislike for the act of packing, dragging, and possibly losing it, the core reason behind using a suitcase is to have the necessary items at our destination. The speaker challenges the listeners to delve deeper into this issue, encouraging them to consider innovative solutions for ensuring they have what they need upon arrival, such as 3D-printed clothes or a virtual closet stored in the cloud.

“Sparking communication starts with asking why or what or how.” On this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Tina Seelig, the Professor of the Practice in Stanford’s department of Management Science and Engineering, sits down with podcast host and lecturer Matt Abrahams to talk about the structures of storytelling that will help become more creative communicators and the importance of asking questions about everything we do.

“Having a mindset of curiosity opens the door to great communication,” Seelig says. “The more questions you ask, the more you learn, the more engaged you will be with others.”
