Welcome to the American Negotiation Institute's podcast, where we will teach you the skills you need to get more out of life.

And now your host, Kwame Christian.

Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of Negotiation for Entrepreneurs.

I'm Kwame Christian. I'm a business lawyer by trade, but my passion

lies in teaching you how you can use negotiation and persuasion to get more of what you want and how to

make the difficult conversations in your life easier. Before we jump into this episode, I'd like to give a

couple of listener shoutouts. I'd like to give a shout out to Stephanie and Mike from

Portland, Rina from China, and I'd also like to give a special shout out to the listeners who

took the time to fill out the survey and the newsletter. That's really helpful. In particular, I want to

point out one listener who said that he or she is a lawyer that wants to start a consulting business

and loves gummy bears. And so when I told

Whitney, my wife, that one, she asked, is that you? And she asked that because that is exactly

what I would say in the tell me about myself section. So thank you all for connecting with me.

You know I love hearing from all of you. So if you haven't yet, please connect with me on LinkedIn. There's a clickable link in the episode description that takes you straight to my LinkedIn page, so just connect and I'll shoot you a message. I really want to know what kind of topics interest you, and LinkedIn is the easiest way for me to connect with you. And for those of you who are looking for the free negotiation guides from previous episodes, like conflict resolution guide or the introvert negotiation guide those links are in the description as

well also please send me your negotiation wins i really want to hear them i've gotten a few really

good ones um from listeners and i want to share them at the end of the year so send them in if you if

this stuff has been helpful and you've used it let me know and we'll share share them at the end of the year. So send them in. If this stuff has been

helpful and you've used it, let me know. And we'll share the wins with the community, which is growing,

which is pretty cool. So before we jump into it, I really want to take a second and apologize

that it's taken so long to get another post up. So as you know, my wife is in residency, and at times her schedule can get kind of crazy.

So when that happens, I essentially become a single dad who happens to be juggling two businesses.

So when that happens, something inevitably falls through the crack.
