My lack of candor was a shortcoming in my entrepreneurial and operational and life game, when I added “kind” aka “kind candor” I started to evolve, this is a recent development for me and the last few years I have seen the benefits ❤️❤️❤️

What life lesson do you think you've learned the hard way? The value of Candor There's nothing even close when I think about every relationship I have on Earth Any employee that has ever worked at Boehner or at Wine Library that doesn't like me that knows me are 100 based on my inability to be Candace with them and then surprising them when they got fired. The reason I wrote 12 and a half was to get that out and to talk about how I've reframed it. Our company Seven years ago we didn't have cotton Candor we didn't have it. We are a much better company for having Candor but Candor that has the word kind in it because Candor is weaponized by a lot of people.

    Yep, for me, it's transparent communication — very similar to kind candor.

    Transparent communication, for me, is about having a strong sense of integrity in my business, taking radical responsibility (extreme ownership in Jocko's world), setting clear expectations upfront, and maintaining open lines of communication with clients.

    Easily THE BEST thing that I wish didn't take me until I was 27 to learn and implement. Everything has gotten better (including my mental health and self-esteem) when I did.

    I HATE delivering bad news and I know it hurts my business. I read Radical Candor but struggle to actually do it.

    People are fake af
    Be real
    Tell people how you really feel
    But that doesnt mean be a dick
    Candor with kindness
    Be sincere
    Be honest
    Dont be shady because you're scared of hurting peoples feelings or you dont want to be the bad guy
    Business is business
    But business is people
    And people have feelings
    And families
    And deserve to be treated like human beings
    With love
