Ever tried to close a deal with someone who just stares at you while you nervously ramble for ten minutes? Or maybe you’ve worked with a team that values harmony over hustle—and you can’t quite figure out why. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we’re tackling the ultimate business challenge: understanding people. From decoding personality types and cultural expectations to avoiding the silent landmines of miscommunication, this episode will change how you approach every conversation.
Mike and Blaine break down real-world examples of how personality clashes can derail deals, strain partnerships, and kill productivity—and how mastering emotional intelligence and communication styles can flip those situations into success stories. Whether it’s a client who craves blunt honesty, a partner who avoids confrontation, or a team that operates by unspoken rules, we’ll show you how to navigate it all with humor, empathy, and strategy.
Get ready for a fun, insightful ride through the psychology of business relationships and discover why understanding people might be the most underrated skill in entrepreneurship. Don’t just listen—level up your communication game and start connecting in a whole new way.
