In a Fragmented World, Conversation Is Our Superpower

In terms of talking to people, it's not that there is one specific incident, but the entire process has been transformational because it forced me to interact with people whom I wouldn't necessarily always choose to have spoken to. Because when I come into an interview, I don't know exactly what the person is going to say. I do not script my conversations. I mean, I can come up with a list of questions as prompts, but I certainly can't I can't, you know, don't pre— you know, pre-write the discussion. It's free-flowing because I want to have that freedom to ask follow-up questions and to hear what the person will say at the moment when they're confronted with a surprise discussion. Hmm. So it has challenged me in many ways. It has forced me to confront people who are— who see the world in a very different way, who I disagreed with very passionately. Um, and at the same time, it forced me to learn a lot in ways that challenged my own assumptions and beliefs.
