0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here actually not here
0:12.7	with producer Jason DeFilippo. I'm in Austin and I'm recording this at app Sumo. Well actually
0:18.3	Sumo.com HQ and as you can tell they're redoing their studios the acoustics are a little bit
0:24.4	different than what you might expect from my studio. Anyway here at the Art of Charm we
0:28.8	may not have all the answers. Certainly of course we have a lot of the questions and today
0:32.6	on fan mail Friday those questions are from you. Alright let's cut right to it. Hi AOC team. I
0:39.9	recently moved to the Bay Area to do an internship at a tech company. Thanks to the skills I learned
0:44.6	through AOC I was able to bond with other interns and form a group of friends. The only
0:49.2	challenge is one of the people in our group always tries to steal the conversation and once
0:54.3	he starts talking he won't stop for 30 minutes. My question is how can I change this dynamic
0:59.7	without being rude. I tried to interrupt him a couple of times and tried to involve other
1:04.3	people in the conversation but interrupting him is completely against the concept of being
1:08.5	present and being a good listener. If I was his close friend I would mention the issue
1:12.6	directly but we're not that close. He's a cool guy and the stories are fun if he can keep
1:16.7	him short but I was wondering what would you do in this situation. What's the correct way
1:21.7	to deal with people like him and a group of friends and what can I do to change the dynamics.
1:26.2	Thanks. Signed. Can't get a word in Edgewise.
1:29.1	PS Jordan. I noticed that you're reading a bunch of books about around. As an Iranian who
1:34.0	has lived there for 22 years I would be glad to answer any questions if you find things
1:38.1	that are not clear in the books. Alright hey can't get a word in Edgewise. This is how
1:43.0	I would handle it. I'm not saying you have to do the same your mileage may vary etc.
1:48.5	One. See if the others experience the guy in the same way. They probably do but they don't know
	...
