Have you ever been dying to tell someone something but were waiting for them to ask? Or thought, “that would be nice to share, but it’s just never come up” ?
It’s easy to take for granted the conversations we have with people in our lives. Sometimes we forget that certain topics won’t be unearthed without a bit of probing. We may make assumptions about one another based on our own experiences, without actually asking for the other person’s perspective. When we do ask the right questions, we realize how much there is still to learn about the person before us - which is thrilling!
Today’s episode was inspired by a line in a movie, coupled with Molly & Tricia’s own recent life experiences. We talk about different types of questions used to build rapport with a stranger, or to take your relationship to the next level. We discuss how being generally inquisitive can help relationships, how to get in the habit of coming up with good questions to ask, and what makes conversations with Trader Joe’s employees so special!
*note: we aim to keep our episodes unscripted and (largely) unedited to provide an example of communication in its natural form.*
