1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: What's up? This is the people Shark. Here Damon and 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: John with a motivation moment for you courtesy of that 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Moment with Damon John, a production of The Black Effect 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Now, I'm reflecting on the fact 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: that I have been There were seven cities in the 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: last five days, and often it is nine. If you 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: ever follow me on social media, people say I'm crazy. 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: But the more things change, the more they stay the same. 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: What I have found is, after we've gotten out of 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: the pandemic, that the face to face meetings mean so 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: much more. Everybody's hiding behind a screen, their eyes are glossy, 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: they're trying to get off. They don't want to interrupt anybody, 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: and if they like something or if they don't like something, 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: their emotions are not necessarily seeing the way they are 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: when you are in person. They say over sixty percent 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: of communication is in body language. Can I say that 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: every single city, every single room that I'm in is 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: super productive. Absolutely not. However, that sets it up for 19 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: the next time that I'm in a room with somebody, 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: I get to meet such great people, and I also 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: get to meet people that think like I do. They 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: travel from around the world, or even in that city, 23 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: to be in a place where they exercise the fact 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: that we are pack animals and we love to see 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: and talk to people. I'm giving you a motivational moment. 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Get outside of your ivory tower or in your house, 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: get outside and start to network people. Or there was 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: social network, there was networking in person and this is 29 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the best time. And I have found that it is 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: the most productive time because when everybody else is talking 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: behind the screen, you're talking in person, you're shaking a hand, 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: you're giving positive body language, and that is paying way 33 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: more than anything else. They are paying dividends for the 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: rest see a lights these type of meetings. So go 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: ahead and enjoy that time outside and go out and 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: make money, make new friends, and have a great time. 37 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: And there you have it. So tune in every week 38 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: or more episodes of that Moment with Damon John Peace
