I'm excited to share with you that my book, my new book, it's called the Next Conversation, is officially out for pre order.
If you'd like to order a copy, I'll put links down in the show notes where you can order it from your favorite retailer.
It's a book that is going to teach you how to say things with control, say it with confidence, and say it to connect, and that you can change everything in your world and in your life simply by what you say next.
If you want to avoid an unwanted conversation, number one, don't fight them, because the more that you do, the more you're going to find yourself in one.
Instead, just let it go by.
You do that by making yourself sound, well, disinteresting.
This is what I mean.

Simple as that?
Yeah, I don't know.
Or, you know, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure about that.
