Today’s interviewee, Jesse Parent, is a fantastic example of what it means to be able to understand who you are, understand what you are trying to accomplish, and then articulate that in a fashion that is not only impactful, but also is poetic. “I think good communication is about listening and adjusting, and not catering, but honoring. It’s one of those things where you have to work with what you have, recognizing who you are.” Jesse’s wife was diagnosed with cancer and he shares how initially it was one of the worst things to deal with, but then he and his wife saw it as something that really helped them grow and strengthen their relationship between each other.

“I always say, ‘How can I keep you? Let’s have conversations about how we can work on you.’ And sometimes people just don’t want to do that work or they can’t. It’s one of those things where like, ‘Hey look, I think we both realize or both understand that we’ve tried, and we didn’t make it. So it’s time to say goodbye and move on to other things.’ It feels like the worst thing in the world, but sometimes it’s just the best thing for that person.” 8:07
