If you’ve listened to the Podcast, you’ve heard me banging on about communication and why it’s the most important thing we need to get right in the world.

I think that most issues stem from bad communication.

I think that most issues can be resolved with good communication.

The problem being, that the large majority of people don’t know how to communicate well.

You don’t have to go far to even test this hypothesis of mine.

• Think of the relationships in your own life, parents, partners, friends, kids – there is somebody that you always moan about because of the way they communicate, or perhaps their lack of communication.
• Watch conversational news programs and you have guests talking over each other.
• Listen to politicians speak and they never answer a question directly.

What I admired about Charlie Kirk, was his willingness to debate, to be verbally attacked, to speak to dissenting voices, to reach across the aisle and political spectrum to better understand each other. He also had an air of confidence about him because he knew what values and morals he stood for.

This week’s monologue Podcast will be a regular fortnightly occurrence going forward.
