We communicate constantly, but most of us miss the vast majority of what is actually being said. My guest this week, Molly Blomquist, spent decades mastering the art of reading people in some of the most high-stakes environments on the planet, from Iraq to Pakistan. She shares how the subtle cues we miss are often the difference between success and failure in negotiations, leadership, and personal relationships.

There is a big difference between challenges that are merely difficult and those that fundamentally redefine who you are. These defining moments, while painful, hold profound lessons that go on to shape the entire trajectory of our lives. This week, I sit down with John Bernatovicz, founder and president at Willory, and author of the bestselling book HR Like A Boss. John shares his deeply personal journey through hardship and loss, and how those moments forced him to stop, pause, and ultimately, transform his life both personally and professionally.
