Oh no, here we go Two one and we're live. Hello Gabby. Hello. How are you Joe? Good. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it Thank you for having me. You're looking well. Thank you. You are as well. I really enjoy following you on Instagram You have a very positive Instagram page. It's full of information. It's beneficial. It's great stuff. Thanks. I You know, I'm I feel like I'm trying to figure that out like for a younger person It's like oh, yeah, well, this is how you do it and for me I'm like, what do you really want to say and I don't know I think sometimes I I would like to take more chances But I do play it probably safe house up like in what way I Try to be pretty honest, but sometimes you're always very aware that you just I'm not interested in getting roasted or spending a lot of time and energy in a hassle with somebody So I think when I'm doing it, I'm as honest as I can be but I'm it's also I'm aware of that What do you hold back on like what kind of stuff? I? Think for me, it would just maybe you'd just be more even maybe more direct, but you're you know, I think It when you're trying when you sort of say, okay, I'm gonna occupy this space professionally that feels good to me and like I want it to be overall pretty positive You know, like if you're selling something like maybe I'd like to try to sell something positive But hopefully towards the honest a little bit, right and sometimes When you're doing that you're also aware that like you're not as harsh as Sometimes your inner voice is and so you go. Well, my not being it's completely honest and transparent because I don't really want to deal with it And so I'm just saying because you don't want to deal with feedback comments yeah, and it's and it's also just people who are frustrated or or Or also they're not getting maybe the nuance or the subtlety of what I'm trying to say Let's just say that social media is not the place for Subtlety and no, not in the comments for sure, right? Right. So I just I I want to do stuff that seems like that seems often, you know Pretty real but hopefully skewed towards like either fun or something positive mm-hmm one of the things that I've recognized from doing a podcast is that Some of the frustration when people do Lash out. Yeah, and you're like this is like out of proportion Some of it is due to the fact that it's very frustrating to just not be a part of the conversation If you disagree with like when you're listening to just the fundamental There's the act of listening to someone have a conversation and something comes up and you're like, but what about that? That's a good point. Why don't you say that and it's like this you get stuck. Yeah, that's a great point So then you leave it a shitty comment. Yeah, I'm like, oh that guy's a dick, but it's a great point his frustration of not being able to communicate Interject, it's like your kid who would be like hey, hey, hey, and they never get to put it in. Yeah, that's a great point I think you've probably been tempered By doing this and have probably looked at it from a lot of different points of view because you have to yeah, you have to I've tried No, it's it's been interesting to like watch you over the years. I think what's interesting is watching you Have an interesting place where you Keep your own you sort of keep a level of neutrality even though you have an opinion So you let other people express themselves whether it's about a religion or vaccination or whatever I think that that it's been interesting to see like you develop that skill even more well it's hard for people to express themselves as It is like live on a podcast is difficult It's harder still if you don't allow them to if you interject and you know as well As we all know that when someone when you have something you're trying to say and someone talks over you It's fucking frustrating and when you're trying to formulate these words and someone butts in and then you lose it It's hard. So that's one of the key skills of learning how to communicate with people that I think a lot of people lose Is the ability to listen you know and also you have to have a good enough memory So you can hold on to what you're going to say and then allow this person to elaborate on their thoughts
