This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. This is the James Altager show.

So Robin, do you think you're in love with me? Oh no.

No, I don't think I know.

I know I'm in love with you as well and at some point we could tell the story of our first date where I think I fell in love with you before you fell in love with me but I was definitely a love at first sight person. But we were friends for a while. We were friends for

over a year or about a year and I think a lot of people often are in the friend zone with people they are in love with or potentially

in love with.

And while we're talking about romantic relationships,

some of the ideas that I'm going to talk about here

and that Robin and I are going to talk about here

also apply to business relationships, employer, employee relationships.

It's not just intimacy is not just about romance, intimacy

is how you work with people, it's about your friendships, it's about your relationships within the

community. Now of course you're not romantically intimate with your boss at least I hope not. I mean that does happen if you fall in love with your boss.

Jay try not to fall in love with me, but, but that's not what we're talking about here,

although I'll refer to it a little.

So there was, and in a separate podcast, Robin and I are going to talk about what your IQ is,

and I don't mean your intelligence quotient, but the intimacy quotient of your relationship.

So that's in a future podcast.

But this one is specifically a technique

to move from the friend zone or let's say the employee zone to the, well let's just stick with the friend zone for a second,

the friend zone to the romance zone.

And... I could ask, is it possible?
