And when you create a question that doesn't have like a conclusion, but it's a story, you can say, wow, that's fascinating. Tell me more. Tell me more, right?
Yes. Okay, so tell me more is one of my favorite like little phrases. I love it. And you're a good conversationalist, so you use it because— but if you were to ask a bad question at first, right? Like, how many kids do you have? Tell me more. It'd be weird, right? So you have to, in a way, set yourself up for success by asking for You're asking for stories. You're also asking for emotions. So if you can— Yeah.
What are you most excited about is a great opener.
