Today’s guest is Jonathan Miller, a speaker, facilitator, and communication coach. He is also the host of the incredible podcast, Mindful Communication, where he has conversations with thinkers and influencers about the art and science of connection.

In this episode, Jonathan and I discuss why there is not a right or wrong whenever it comes to communication.
