I’ve been lucky enough to have some of the best meals with our members. It's so easy to get caught up in the digital, but Neal's right, there's no substitute for human connection.Neal’s Tip: Because my memory is starting to go on me and because I have ideas that pop into my head at the worst times, I use an app called Otter, Otter voice digital. And it is a great way of speaking your mind very quickly. It actually records everything that you say in text format. It's searchable. And if you're doing an interview, or a podcast, it actually separates the voices so it works out very well.Tyson’s Tip: So my tip of the week is a book that my mom gave me. And it's called The Coffee Bean. It's a really simple lesson and an easy read. I mean, you could probably read it in 30 minutes. In a nutshell, you look at a coffee bean and really all the power is inside the coffee bean. And you don't really get that power out until you boil it down. It’s a really neat lesson.For more content from us please subscribe to our YouTube Channel.Don’t forget to sign up for MaxLawCon20! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maximum-lawyer-conference-2020-tickets-62992819218Thanks so much for listening to the show!
