Why You’re Afraid to Open Up | Leslie John
Harvard Business School professor Leslie John joins AJ and Johnny to unpack why we systematically get vulnerability wrong.
We obsess over the risks of sharing and ignore the cost of staying silent. From dating profiles and first impressions to leadership, feedback, and negotiation, Leslie explains how to decide what to reveal, when to reveal it, and how to frame it so it builds trust instead of regret.
If you’ve ever worried about TMI — or held back and felt distance grow — this episode gives you a smarter way to think about disclosure.
