In episode #2180, Neil and Eric talk about why it’s better to share stories of your experiences than to give advice. Whenever you give someone advice you’re taking a risk because you have no way of predicting the outcomes with 100% certainty. Sharing your takeaways from past experiences can be a powerful and effective way of empowering others to make their own decisions. Tune in as we discuss the risks and nuances of giving advice when to unpack your experiences, and more!
