Dan shares a personal anecdote about striking up a conversation with a millennial at a juice bar, discovering the individual needed coaching, and offering to help both the millennial and his future bosses. He uses this story to illustrate how stepping away from phones and social media, and instead asking questions and showing care, can foster personal and professional growth. The core message is a call to teach millennials to engage directly, ask questions, and build relationships beyond digital distractions.
