What if the biggest barrier between you and real connection is noise? In today’s episode, you sit down with Steve Woodruff — a seasoned communicator who’s spent decades refining one essential tool: clarity. We plunge right into a powerful truth: no matter how noble your intentions, without clear communication your message gets lost in the fog. Listeners will feel the weight and urgency of that struggle.
You’ll follow Steve’s journey — from early experiences in sales, marketing, and consulting — culminating in writing two books about communication. You’ll sense his passion when he reveals how in the pandemic he distilled years of trial and error into a simple, actionable framework. That moment when the pieces finally aligned becomes a turning point.
Through vivid analogies, concrete examples, and simple rules — have a point, get to the point, get it across, arrive at the same page — you’ll learn how to cut through the noise in your business, relationships, even networking. Steve shows how asking good questions and using story‑asking transforms conversations from noise into connection, from distraction into impact.
This episode will change how you communicate. You may be driving, working out, or deep in your inbox — but when this message sinks in, your next conversation, email, or presentation can carry clarity, purpose, and compassion. Are you ready to make that shift today?
P.S. If you’re ready to start clearing the fog in your communication, grab a pen — take a note now: what’s your next message, who are you serving, and what point do you truly want to make?
