Welcome to Episode 7 of Tide Talk — a 15-minute podcast series from Ride The Wave Foundation, hosted by Jeff Fisher and Javon Blue.
This week’s principle from the Wave Maker book is all about how we connect — through questions.
❓ Ask with Open-Ended Questions isn’t just a communication trick. It’s a relational superpower.
In this episode, Jeff and Javon dive into:
• The difference between closed and open-ended questions
• How to draw out someone’s story instead of shutting it down
• Real examples from mentorship and street-level connection
• The social value of being open and creating emotional safety in every interaction
• How this principle deepens trust, healing, and transformation
Whether you’re leading, mentoring, parenting, or just trying to connect with people on a deeper level — this episode gives you practical tools to help others feel seen.
