    Sounds like a talk from a liberal arts major.

    1:43 “It’s 95% listening with great care”…

    Great to listen to a person who knows the difference between listening and hearing…. As a person with a broad palate, and an interest in psychological cause and effect, you have my attention ????

      5:40 Cabbage… sometimes associated with growing
      through childhood, think “Cabbage patch kids”…

      Kimchi, Pau Tsai, and Sauerkraut…. All pickled, or fermented. An adult excursion.

      Are Gen Z feeling rushed into the critical expectations of adulthood?
