What if asking the right question was actually more powerful than having the right answer?

That seems really counterintuitive for a lot of us.

I know, but I listen to your voice, so I feel like. And I listen to your voice, too. So I feel,

this is what happens when two podcasters get together. It's like,

oh, but I've heard you. But I haven't seen you. I know. Yeah. And what year it's been? It's been, I mean,
