    May 26 2025

    In this jam-packed episode of The Average White Guys, Justin puts Alex in the hot seat—but plot twist—Alex becomes Justin’s personal ChatGPT. What starts as a playful experiment turns into a deep, practical masterclass on active listening, personality types (B.A.N.K. system), sales communication, and reading microexpressions like a human lie detector.

    You’ll learn:

    • How to decode someone's personality in minutes
    • Why action types glance at the door (hint: you’re boring them)
    • How to tell if your nurturer spouse is upset (without getting divorced)
    • The difference between listening to respond and listening to understand
    • And why Alex might secretly be a marketing Mentalist...

    This one’s for our blueprint and knowledge types who love frameworks, but everyone will walk away sharper, funnier, and maybe a bit freaked out at how much you can learn by just watching.

    🎧 Tune in and test your listening superpowers.
