No politics. No elections. Just fun this week. I tell two stories from different eras of life and the lessons that accompany each one. I felt this was a week where we needed to laugh a little bit.\\xa0
What is the central component of each talk? You guessed it: communication. Learn about how I stood at the wedding alter with no money and a rental car my mom paid for and then how I had carpenter ants rain down on my head during our home renovation. Great stories from the past and some powerful lessons along the way.
So take a breather from election coverage and enjoy this week\'s episode.
