Build The Virtuous Cycle Of Love
Happy Conversations https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun08_Post.mp4 One thing people are terrified of, conversationally, is unexpected questions. Questions that make them feel on the spot.

Profit From Human Nature
Not Vulcans https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/May29_Post.mp4 Humans love to believe in our own logical decision making. But in reality, most of us are driven by emotions.
