So they stopped sharing information, but even worse than that, they stopped getting to know each other.

So when I sat next down to the guy and I said, just out of interest, tell me about the guy who sits next to you. And he said, why do you care about that guy? I said, humor me. Tell me. Like, how long have you sat next to him? Eight years. What can you tell me about him? Is he married? Does he have kids? I don't know any of that stuff.

I said, eight years.

So many times I go into a company and I say to them, right, What can you tell me about him? Is he married? Does he have kids? He said, I don't know any of that stuff. I said, eight years.

So many times I go into a company and I say to them, right, can you tell me how many strategy projects you are doing right now?

and most times they say we don't know.

I said, well, go and do an audit, right?

Go and collect the names of every project that isn't regular work.

It's an additional thing that you've chosen to do for one reason or another.

I said, okay, there's only one way to find out. Let's go around the room.

And I get each person not only to tell us at what number, but the names of their kids, the ages,

their favorite hobbies, would take time, right? Next week we covered pets. The week after we covered

favorite holiday destinations.

You know what? Within six weeks, this team began to ask each other questions without the game.

So I tapped the lady in front of me on the shoulder and I said, you wouldn't believe this,

but I'm a professional cue talker. I am paid by this conference to start random conversations

with people in cues. I know it's a weird job, but that's what they pay me. And so she started talking to me. And then the guy overheard, he said, really, that's your job? And then a fourth guy. And we got talking. And after five minutes, I said, of course, that's not a real job. Did you know there's a technology that's actually an app on your phone that uses sound waves to tell your brain what you want your brain to do.

We had a young man that was a guest on our podcast, the Mike Litton experience, who had a traumatic

brain injury. He was sleeping three hours a night. He's using Newcom now and he's sleeping more.
