 Epic Quotes From the Episode: 

• "Once you find your it, there's no turning back."
• "Show them better, and they will do better."
• "We do not see how things are. We see them how we are. When we mindfully and intentionally share our imperfections and flaws, that actually brings us together and creates a more cohesive work environment."
• "You have to be mindful of the "have-to's" you use on yourself to grow and explore your unlimited potentials."

Three Fundamental Types of Communication:

There are three fundamental types of communication that everything else falls under. First is interpersonal communication – one-on-one interaction. Second is group communication, which involves three or more people and can include organizational communication, hierarchy communication, and strategic communication. The third represents more than 50% of Mario's research, intrapersonal communication – how we converse with ourselves. This is the bedrock of all other communication types. If we want to create meaningful connections with others, it starts with having a happy, relaxed, and fun connection with ourselves.
