This episode was sparked by an insightful recent online meeting with Dr. Jeff Wetzler, author of "Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs In Leadership and Life."

Inspired by the core ideas in his book and reflecting on our own startup experiences, we dive into the crucial, yet often overlooked, skill of asking better questions.

In this episode, we explore:

Why understanding the unspoken thoughts, needs, and quiet concerns of people around you – your team, customers, investors – is so critical, especially in the high-stakes startup world.

The barriers that often prevent people from sharing what's really on their minds.

Key techniques for effective questioning and active listening that help break down communication barriers and unlock crucial insights.

How applying the practical 'Ask' approach can lead to stronger relationships, smarter decisions, and unexpected breakthroughs.
