Podcast 173 - The Reckoning

The Reckoning:  I always knew that one day one of my posts would likely offend someone.  Well, it happened.  In a lesson meant to discourage the hard lean into first impressions while encouraging non-judgment and open-mindedness, one that many people thanked me for, I managed to hurt feelings and alienate myself.  This happened quickly.  Within the first few sentences, I made a first impression that led to quick harsh judgement, to me being turned off and the message left unheard.  When I imagine I am them, I understand why.  In this episode, I reflect on this experience, share the lessons I can glean, and offer a heartfelt apology.
