Hello, my friends, and welcome to another exciting episode of Negotiate Anything.

Negotiate Anything is produced by the American Negotiation Institute, and with over 3 million

downloads and listeners in over 180 countries, listeners just like you have made it the number

one negotiation podcast in the world. I'm Kwame Christian and I'm the director

of the American Negotiation Institute. We're growing and I want to introduce you to our new team

members and new trainers. This will give you new and diverse perspectives on negotiation and conflict

resolution. And that's why Shane Martin, our head of sales and partnerships, is going to serve as

co-host of the show from time to time.

We're excited to continue to provide you with the best content that will help to make your difficult conversations easier, both at work and at home.

Lastly, our team conducts negotiation and conflict resolution trainings in the United States and abroad.

Our trainings will give you the practical skills you need to resolve conflict, negotiate,

lead, and persuade with confidence.

Ron, thanks for joining us today. Thank you, Kwame. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, it's my pleasure,

man. So how about you get us started by telling us a little bit about yourself and what you do?

Okay. My name is Ron Hogan. I am a project manager and a partner at Barron Construction and

Remodeling. We are a construction company focusing on residential remodels

in the Bay Area, so Bay Area of California, Silicon Valley Area, and we also have an office in

Los Angeles. Fantastic. And hey, listeners, I know you are probably listening on the podcast,

but if you have a chance, you got to check out the YouTube when we post this episode because, yes, Ron is in construction, but he is a former rock star.

And he looks a lot cooler than me today.

I don't look like maybe your typical general contractor now.
