I’ve been working my way through the back catalog but jumped to this one when I saw the Insta post. 👏👏👍👍 I love these conversations as they spur such great conversations with those around me. 👏👏👍👍

@13:30 I hear an Arbinger reference. We've been learning about that at work, treat people as people...ties in nicely with The Minimalist's values.
