Summary
In this episode, I explore the balance between being friendly and assertive in life and business. Sharing personal stories of betrayal, I discuss the principle of remaining nice until necessary to be resolute. I emphasize the importance of setting clear boundaries, shaped by our upbringing, and address listener questions on conflict resolution and emotional resilience. Additionally, I critique modern societal issues and stress the need for individual responsibility and community support in fostering healthy relationships. Join me as we navigate these challenges with strength and wisdom.
