Over the past 100 years, very little has changed with the job interview. Very few businesses, companies, or organizations have been innovative in the way they assess an individual for hire with their ability to perform the duties, exceed expectations, work with others, surpass benchmarks, and reach annual goals. It's just the same process over and over and over again.
Although the methods may not have changed… or...
How often do we wish we would have captured the past? The stories from grandparents, parents, maybe even great grandparents. Or what about that neighbor you had for 20 years... what was their story? This episode of I'm Listening is your reminder to go capture those stories right now.

Idioms. What's the big deal and why are they a part of our everyday language? It's likely to make sense of a situation or a concept. They are in fact, very useful. They are also way over used in certain settings, to the point of annoyance and even detriment. So what can we do about it?
In this episode, we discuss idioms, metaphors, jargon, similes. We dive right into... er, sorry, we begin this episode with ...
Welcome to our first "sprint" episode!
Whats is a sprint episode you ask? One of us does not know the topic prior to recording and we barely touch it post-record. Also, Brandt is annoying. Ok, that's a bit much... the sounds Brandt makes are sometimes really annoying and drive me crazy. The chewing, the knife and fork on the plate, the crunching of chips, etc. are just too much sometimes, especially whe...
We all want to feel heard. When it happens it feels good, solves problems, and productivity increases. However, when we don't, we feel angry, walk away, or even riot.
