Welcome, I'm your host, Greg McEwen, and I'm here with you on this journey to learn today

I've invited Matt Abrahams to the show.

Matt is a lecturer at Stanford.

He specializes in the essentials of strategic communication.

He is the host of the Think Fast Talk Spot podcast, and today I had a window come up on

my calendar and I reached out to Matt to issue a friendly challenge by way of an invitation

to think fast talk smart about how to think fast talk smart on this podcast.

He wrote back, I love a challenge game on.

By the end of this episode, you will be able to make your communication more memorable.

Let's begin.

If you want to learn faster, understand more deeply and increase your influence, teach

the ideas in this podcast to someone else within the next 24-48 hours.

This episode is sponsored by Factor Meals.

The season is a bit ironic, I think, because on the one hand, it's a time that can be peaceful,

rejuvenative, inspirational as it helps us to think about higher, better things.

And at the same time, it can become reactive.

It can be the busiest time of the year, and in that intensity, it can be hard to eat in

a healthy way, and perhaps you're looking for a way to be able to eat a nutritious,

flavorful meal, despite being stretched a bit too thin.

Factor is America's number one ready-to-eat meal delivery service.

So they can help you eat well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with chef-prepared, dietician

approved, ready-to-eat meals delivered straight to your door.
