And now, back to the tri time, shell, on top radio 1170 stage 4 talk about today, is how to use humor to win, friends and influence. People know i, want everybody to get this business podcasrts idea. When you hold somebody accountable, do you make a checklist? This just happened to me what this past week is fabulous situation. We have certain systems that need to be used in similar companies. Yes, yes and somebody chose not to use the system, but in a meeting I said:hey I noticed I didn’t receive such and such from you, and they said. Oh I made my own system, oh wow, so not only do they not do their job, but they changed a core system. If you go head on with an alpha in a group, meeting who made a change for whatever reason they thought was the right move and you don’t have a little bit of tact or a little bit of humor. What’s going to happen in my life before discovering all these moves more often than not, it did get ugly. So what I want to do them? I teach his next move to dissolve attention. I, like this move, is move here and my mind is the most applicable form of humor that everybody can use and just called it is called self-deprecation not to make this happen to everybody to take the following action:steps and chip I’d like for you to type in the show, notes and I like to write this down.

My, feeling big one I am afraid of speed heights, like any type of height that all speed and water. So today, joel david show me a picture of the craziest pictures ever tim sitting on a ledge where he’s wichita on the edge and underneath him it’s a thousand foot drop, is out of the grand canyon or something and I look at the photo on his phone, and he had me zoom in I literally got queasy looking at the photos when I get on a plane, every time I get on the plane, I’ll, let you know start to get like hives on certain, like blotches on my body and I’m. Just the play accelerates, pics of I’m just i. Every time, I just need any type of turbulence at all. Any type of bumping up and down I mean it’s it’s just not a good thing:water, lakes bodies of water, oceans. You know just speed jet skis water, skiing, speed boating out during going downhill fast on anything at all. The business podcasts movement causes me to get so worked up that vanessa literally she booked the trip for florida.

We don’t want to go and I said we want to go no cuz dad’s going to do his thing and it’s done fun for us and he’s like you had a total breakdown. You had to go to jet ski and you didn’t want to go you question who repaired it last night mom was going so fast to make, can’t have fun and romantic i. Look it up and I’m.

It it’s. This is the only thing that makes me palatable, cuz I’m, so intense, all the time, i, don’t even realize.

My dad is fat, go for it, but truly women are amazing. Think about it. This way a woman can grow a baby inside her body.
