Do you find it hard to connect or create conversations with people? Do you struggle to know what to say when meeting new people? Do you have a story and do you TELL your story?

About the Episode:

I chose to send out overcooked sausages from the pit one day. What was the response? My youngest son got a little hot headed while practicing his driving the night before his driving test. Did he pass? What happens to our standards when we are tired or overwhelmed? What lessons from barbecue give us foundations to help combat that? This episode answers those questions for you.
