Quillo Pod

The Power of Conversation

In this week's Quillo Pod, John explores the power of conversations - real conversations that take time to learn from one another, understand, and find the right steps forward.  Sometimes it can be life-changing, and other times frustrating as conversations don't always happen on our schedule. We hope this conversation opens some ideas for you on how to find those life-changing moments.
