About this listen

Transformational relationships aren’t built on control or convenience — they’re built on curiosity, emotional intelligence, and grace that turn conflict into growth. In this episode of Optimizing Beyond, Josh Negron explores how to move from transactional interactions to authentic connection through better listening, value alignment, and humble conversation.

Takeaways:

  • Practice active listening to understand before responding.
  • Ask clarifying questions instead of making assumptions.
  • Lead with empathy and emotional intelligence in hard conversations.
  • Build value alignment to reduce friction and increase trust.
  • Use curiosity as a tool for coaching and transformation.

Healthy relationships aren’t about avoiding conflict—they’re about transforming through it. When we pause before reacting, assume positive intent, and reflect on our responses, we become the kind of people who grow others as we grow ourselves.

Hosted by Josh Negron, entrepreneur, leader, and serial optimizer.
