What are the three must-know truths in communication?
Hey y'all, it's Jefferson. On today's episode, I'm going to be sharing with you three must-know truths that are going to change the way you communicate and how to leverage those mindsets to improve your life for the better. Welcome to the Jefferson Fisher Podcast. In fact, season two of the Jefferson Fisher Podcast, where I'm on a mission to make your next conversation a
the one that changes everything. If you enjoy learning tools to improve your communication, I'm going to ask you to please follow this podcast. And if you would, leave a review, give it a like, a star, anything helps. It really does. I want to also let you know that my new book, The Next Conversation, is officially out on pre-order.
And if you like anything about this podcast, I promise you, you're going to like the book. And for the first time, I have the Jefferson Fisher School of Communication that is now out and ready online. All you have to do is just look in the show notes. I'll have all the links posted right there.
Before we go into the three things that I want to dive into, you might notice something a little bit different. The sound quality might be a little bit different. I now have a mic for a phone. I'm in a studio and not in my car. Now I want to tell you, don't worry, I'm still going to be making car videos, those daily car videos that you see and that I enjoy making for you.
But when it comes to podcasting and more longer form content, I can't always make it in the car. I'll still keep the episodes short. I'm hoping to keep it at the 12 to 18, 20 minute mark right in there to where it's It's something that you can listen to right in your commute, but I don't want to have super long-form content right now.
I just want to keep it in the sweet spot until I get more comfortable with it and see what works in my life. So this is a change with everything that's coming up with the book launch, and I'm also going to be bringing you guests for the first time. I'm going to have solo episodes too. You're still going to hear from me, but I also want to bring you some guests that I know –
that you love and people that I love that are going to also just continue to pour into you as much as they have poured into me. All right, three things that I want you to know that are going to change the way you communicate. Are you listening? Are you ready? Number one, never win an argument. Whenever your goal is to win an argument, you lose so much more every time.
And it gets me frustrated, to tell you the truth, of how much I see out in the world, videos to blogs to books and magazines and articles on how to win every argument. Let me tell you right now. It is a lie. It's snake oil. It's clickbait. It's not true. It has nothing to do with real world. That's why it does not work. When you've ever seen, like, why am I not winning this argument?
Because the idea of winning it does not work. It never has. It never will. People like to say, well, Jefferson, aren't you an attorney? Isn't this kind of your day job? This is what you do for a living. You win arguments. Absolutely not. No, that's not how it works. As a trial attorney, any trial attorney who is in the courtroom, you do not choose your client's facts.
