On today’s show I talk with my friend Michael Bungay Stanier, the author of a number of great books, including his latest, The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious, and Change the Way You Lead Forever. Michael and I reflect upon the current pandemic, and he shares his insights about how we can navigate this whole experience and support others in the process. He also gives some great advice about how to tame our “advice monster” - in general and especially right now.
