I was attending a question and answer period with author Chris Voss who wrote the book never split the difference (which I read once a year) and author Neil Strauss who been an incredible example on building relationships. I had the opportunity of asking them a question live. I was battling a head cold and debated even asking a question. I then decided that my question was important enough to ask, so as I posted it into the chat I thought the moderator would just ask for me. I was call on to be on live camera where I struggled to find the words and completely blew my question. What I wanted to ask was how do we support kids when making mistakes. Instead I asked in short how do we get kids to make mistakes and mature faster. As I got a good response I didn't position the question well enough to get the answer I knew what coming that it was immoral to try and make kids mature faster. After a few minutes of me back tracking and trying to find my footing, I ran out of time. There was some great bit's of information from Neil and Chris.

Later that morning someone reached out to me with a picture of a screen shot asking if it was me who asked the question. I turns out he runs a wonderful program that helps the relationships between dad's and kids. We started a conversation met the next day and then 2 days later I was attending his podcast where we had a great conversation and have since built a partnership. If I listened to my head cold I would've never asked a botched question and had the wonderful opportunity that came after.
