I just need to share it with people that this is how we actually have conversations. Whether we're being recorded or. Whether we're being recorded or not. Like this is the way we actually talk. We interrupt each other more.

We're being polite. We're trying to interrupt a little bit less. We're not doing a great job. We interrupt each other less, but we actually would have this conversation without cameras on the presence. AI is the hot topic right now.

There are so many people talking about all the tools that can help us do things faster, cheaper. more efficiently than ever before. All of this is true, but it's also revealing something interesting, that the more automated our world becomes, the more valuable the human being is becoming. Being thoughtful, paying attention, being genuinely nice to people, making people feel seen and heard. It turns out things like kindness
