• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um pat myself on the back there.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I want you guys to understand what Scott is doing.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, as you know in business, people do business with people they know like and trust.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: And trust is such a huge key component to the workplace.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: And so if I can have you leave with anything from this podcast, understanding how important trust is.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: So just to give you background on where Scott comes from, he is a movement coach, he is a veteran professional ballroom dancer.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, he created the moving edge workshop.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: His passion is conscious movement and helping people reconnect to their inherent wisdom present in their bodies.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: And movement is revealing and understanding how we move and how you move will understand how you present yourself in the world.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so, Scott, I want to welcome you to the podcast.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: As we were talking before, we as human beings are meant to connect and touch, and so much of that has gone away in our world.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: This is true.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, as you said, Dom, I'm you know, we're born moving, right?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: With the need to, with the need to connect.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: And it we're social creatures.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: And um what the the um the corporate world has been over the last number of years, number of years, just uh tightening their grip on how you can actually interact, what's what's appropriate, appropriate touch, and the whiplash of like, oh my god, you touched me wrong, I'm suing you for a million dollars, you know, that type of thing.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's kind of gone over over overboard.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I love I I the message I I bring is is simple is simple and clear through the workshops there.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's all about um finding posture.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: I work with posture, I work with breath, I work with awareness of your own body, grounding, and we just kind of wake up our bodies and then we start to connect with each other.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: We start to simply find a conscious uh connection.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: And this conscious connection I talk about is just like hands together, creating this conscious connection like this.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: And the workshop is guided, so you know it's not people are in any level of any level of group can come together, age-wise, gender-wise, uh mixed, mixed between levels in the corporations, if you want to do that.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: But this connection brings us to an awareness of like we have a of uh an awareness of connecting, not grabbing, but just being connected.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then from there, I take people through guided exercises and movements and balances and um and challenges in um challenges in uh uh uh trust, trust with each other.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: So people have your back, maybe, or people are are or they've they're they're helping create this synergy.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's fun.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: What what's really what's really cool is um that movement and connection breaks through uh mental blocks because it bypasses overthinking and it brings uh teams into a present moment where real connection happens.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's actual science behind this, which the body and this body connection that receives information faster than the brain can process.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's amazing.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: The body is amazing and it's trusting our bodies embodied, you know, embodied is a great thing.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: Embodied leadership, let's put it.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, when you're now when you're networking, you walk into a room and you're embodied in yourself, and you walk into a room and you present an aura, you present an energy.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: And this is what I bring awareness of.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: There's takeaway, you know, takeaway information.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, when groups can work with me for you know, what just just like my first workshop is maybe about three hours long to get a bunch of stuff together, you know, lots of fun, lots of laughing, lots of awareness.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but if they work with me even more, they begin to, you know, start to really practice because the you know, practice makes permanent, by the way, not perfect.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: So it's so important, you know.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think I and I think what you're doing is so really important when it comes to even to leadership and and helping people get that deeper connection.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: So as a leader, you know, it's almost like one of those great things that you could do to bring your team together, not just by going out and like, you know, doing uh going to F1 racing or whatever, because this is actually making people truly connect.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: And a simple, it's amazing what a simple touch could do.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm a huge hugger.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now I go to, you know, I'm I'm a co-founder of a networking company.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so when people come in to our networking group, or as we call them hubs for the first time, I shake their hand if I know them.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome, I'm giving you a hug.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: And now, granted, you will probably need not not do that every time you walk into a see a colleague at your office, but it's so true that we have we have forgotten to give like the high fives or even you know, the um you know, or giving somebody that hug that they need, like if they're having a bad day.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's you know, we've read into so many things.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's so natural.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, well, it's natural.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh some people, of course, it's not normal for them.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: But it's natural to if if someone is having a bad day, that we somehow we empathize and we want to, you know, give them a sense of betterment.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's and there's the so there's the touch on the shoulder, there's the you know, there's the the pat on the hand, there's whatever, you know.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: And um, I mean, I just laugh because if I went into the corporate world right now, probably I mean, they they probably like I'd be called, I'd have pink slips all over the place because I would be inappropriate.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: It would that would just be it.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so um that by the way, that's been one of my challenges here is like is uh speaking to that.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: I I speaking getting myself into the corporate world with the correct languaging doesn't scare them, yeah.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: Because I mean I was working with uh Glamazon.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know Glamazon?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know Glamazon.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Glamazon is the um LGBTQ uh uh faction of Amazon.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, it's been around for not quite a number of years, and uh I was get ready to like you know, really talking to the people who wanted me, but they went to their higher-ups and they were sharing what it was, and they had to back off because they the uh um the higher-ups were like afraid of the touch.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: The touch.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Excuse me, I'm gonna close my blind here.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: The sun just changed angle here.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Can you see this lovely floral sun?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Right, you did, you just got you did get a little bit brighter there.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh hang on just a second here.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think this might do it.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: That did it.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there you go.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um so you know, it's interesting.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: So when you're thinking about, you know, so building trust.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: You're as a dancer, right?
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's huge, right?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: So you in order in in order to know I mean it's it is all about you know, the placement of your hand on somebody's back or whatever, like where you're gonna do.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: And so how do you how does that, you know, when you've had a workshop and people are um they've gone through it, what do you see as the difference like from before and after?
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: I mean that's a great question.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and there's a number there's a couple things that come to my mind.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um first I'll share first I'll share this, this, this situation, and then I'll share another another situation.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: The first situation is um in this c this is cool.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: My work my workshops immediately, I the first thing I tell people is um, okay, this is um uh a um a situation where you have a choice.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: If you're uncomfortable with this exercise, you have the opportunity to to not uh involve yourself or to not participate.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_01: However, you will be an active um observer of the of the exercise.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_01: So that's happened before.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: And let's say I've got four people and I've got them together, I've got them hooking or connecting, and we're doing these balancing exercises, we're doing these body weight exercises where people they can't do this on their own.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's a synergy.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: So they're creating this, but maybe Joe over here is a little tense and he's tightening and he's holding.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, Joe, I can you feel that?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: And everybody and people around the group are are going like, Yeah, it feels a little, I think things feel a little odd.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: So I come back, I said, Joe, how about this?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: How about you relax, relax your little bit here?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: How about you just relax, put your feet in the floor, take a nice breath, and just drop your shoulders, and he relaxes into the group.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: Now, there's people, a couple people watching, and immediately I saw I asked the group for group, how does that feel now?
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it feels so different.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: The people, the people next to him and the people across from him can feel the difference in that connection.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I say, People watching, what did you see?
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: And they go, We saw the whole thing happen.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: So it's the results of this, uh, the results of exercises like this are immediate.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: They're visceral, they're they're they're mind-body, they're visceral.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: And when when you have that experience with a group of people, when you're in trust situations, and as little or as large as they are, and you have those visceral experiences, they don't they don't disappear.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: You have them.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, it's up to you to then you know grow that.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Now, that's so that's a little bit before and after.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, another one is just uh just that I got some great testimonials lately uh from the International Coaching Federation.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: I I was working with a group of um about 12 uh executive coaches from around the world, and they half of them had never met each other, and so I was the first activity on their three-day event down here in Fort Lauderdale, and I would nine o'clock in the morning, boom, to 12, right before they went to lunch.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: We had so much fun with each other, and I um at the end of the workshop, the president of the coaching of that that division of the coaching federation, who had okayed this for me to do this, he had was not really wasn't 100% sold, but my uh my champion, my my dear friend, she said, You gotta have this guy.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: So he said, You know, Scott, I wasn't really, really sure about this at first, but I have to tell you, this was great.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: I this was absolutely amazing.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_01: I love what you I'll give you a testimonial whenever I'll refer you to whatever.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Well, will you write me a testimonial?
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: He wrote me the best testimonial that I have ever received.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean awesome.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: He basically said, Scott's workshop kickstarted our resort, our retreat.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: Our retreat.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: It was a retreat at a resort.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we said he said, our meetings were immediately more effective than I could have imagined, than I could have wished for.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: He said, they just were so great.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: We got better guidance, better focus, and more done because people were just so much more comfortable with each other.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because that's how that ends up happening, right?
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like you go to a conference and like the first day, people are like a little skittish.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then by the end, you're like, you know, there's that deeper connection.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: So it's really nice to have that in the beginning.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Nice, it's right.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's and it's really great for teams.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I really see, you know, um, you know, I I've been to uh when I was in the corporate world, I had I did a whole day, actually was a couple of days of um learning to be um basically helping people be a brainstorm helping people brainstorm, right?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, it was a it what was really great about it was it was it was a fun exercise and we got to know each other better in that time frame, right?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: But that's one thing I am loving about what you're doing because you know, in the corporate world, we need to know our people and our teams better so that we can thrive better together.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: And did I I forgot to mention that this this president that would had would wrote me that he participated in the workshop.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, good.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: That was really good.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he was and he was really uptight and he relaxed.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so everybody got a they and I I I applauded him.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: I said, you know, man, good good on you for coming in here and and and being vulnerable like this and letting people see you, you know, kind of struggle through some of these exercises.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, there's it's it's it yeah, anyway, it was very cool.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I mean, as I was saying, you know, bottom dancing, obviously you have to, you're touching people and and and and whatnot.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: So when you thought about creating this workshop, like where what was the genesis behind it?
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, how did you think, oh I wanna go from here to bring this into the corporate world or to help other people?
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, the genesis.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's um it's kind of a it's kind of a long, a kind of a story that goes over years.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: Do I need a glass of wine?
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna go.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, a couple cocktails.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: I mean actually two.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're you listen, you have the same you and me, we we need to I need to come out to to to read it.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um okay, um here's the jet here's the genesis and and the transition, okay?
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um this the simple answer is that it was for me to condense all this information that I start had been gathering.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: And at the in and to that point, it was only you know 20, 25 years in the business, right about there.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: That was that was kind of what why I kind of sat down and started putting pen to paper.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um but my um my my whole start in this journey um was when I was eight years old.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: And um I was an avid reader and I was in the um the uh library of a new school.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: We had just moved to Chicago, and I was in the library of a new school, I joined the library club, and I had this book in my hand that I'd never had a book like this before.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was a um pretty Robin's egg blue, I can see it now, and it had a picture of a uh classical Padado ballet couple on it with the word ballet.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'd never seen a picture like that, and I'd never seen that word, but in my holding that in my hands, every cell in my body vibrated, and I knew I was gonna do that.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: So I went to my parents and some I know I still get shows myself.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um I went to my parents and I said, Hey, somehow, I years ago years after that, I said, Mom, did I bring a book home to show you?
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: She said, No, but you let us know.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, being the cool parents that they were, we lived in um Hyde Park, University of Chicago.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, there's a ballet school, literally three blocks away, a real deal ballet school, not the jazz tap, you know, hip-hop.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: And so I studied ballet for two years, uh, only little boy in class.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: And then my parents joined the YMCA and I started doing gymnastics and we started swimming, and then we started doing music and music lessons.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so I had this, and then I uh this had this physical movement and coordination and musical, uh, musical uh training.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: I graduated high school, started, I was studying voice, went to college, graduated with a vocal degree, and understood music.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: I really understood music.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: But during that time, guess what?
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: Guess when I was going to go to school at the end of the 70s.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: I was out just go dancing all the time.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: So I was out dancing, and so I was just a natural dancer, and um I like the hustle, yeah.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: Do the hustle, do the hustle.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um so so I got I I got out of college, and here I am, it's like 1980, and um you know what am I gonna do with my life?
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: And so I I do what all people do that graduate from liberal arts colleges.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: I got a job as a waiter.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: So I so one of my and I was I was going out dancing every night, and one of my gal pals, who I hung out with all the time, she said, Scott, I was looking in the newspaper today and I saw an article.

  SPEAKER_01: The Arthur Murray Ballroom Dance Studio is starting a training class for new dance teachers.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_01: I think you would be a great dance instructor.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, I'm like, who the hell is Arthur Murray and what the hell is ballroom dance?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I knew who Fred and Ginger were.

• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: So I got introduced, and that was April 11th, 44 years ago.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: I've never turned around, I've never looked back.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, my whole life has been teaching, and it was it was maybe about two years into this um this world, this industry of dance, that I connected to my purpose in life, which is being a teacher.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: And I so I so yeah, so that it was like, well, this aligns collect.

• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, because with ballroom dance.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's a it's a it's a duet of poetry in motion, but it's more like a duet.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: It's a duet of movement.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: And people uh people understand say they'll understand uh duet as a piece of music or a piece of uh singers, singers are singing a duet.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um and they understand how difficult that could be because people will say, Oh, I'm not a good singer, and blah blah blah, or they're they're a good singer, and they understand it.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_01: It it's easier for them to understand the the skills that are needed and the difficulty that are needed for singers to actually sound well together.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: But because everybody moves and everybody connects, people think that just because they're moving and I'm doing this part here, the guy's going, Well, I led that, why didn't you follow that?
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, because maybe your lead wasn't so cool.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe your lead wasn't so clear, you know?
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: So they but people get like this.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: I I took 10 lessons, I know how to cha-cha.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, a guy thing.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: So you know, so it's that it's very, very interesting that because of our physical, what we because we do move and we do think we know something that we think it's dancing is an easy thing to do.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's not.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, and and I think what's really what's really key is like it's it's the same thing, you know, when you and I love that you're bringing this to companies because I think it's really important for leaders to understand that the way people mesh together, you could in an and the way a team works together, you can have some really great cohesive relationships, or you could not have them.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: And when they're not, where they don't when the team doesn't really gel together, it doesn't work well together.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same thing, and and you've you probably see it with dancing, and I'm probably and I I don't watch dancing with the stars ever.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: I just not my um I love dancing, but I'd rather watch okay, so I'm I am a child who used to watch um solid gold.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, like all the time.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, probably one of my days I wanted to be a solid gold dancer.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um but um but the point though is is that when you see two people dancing and as you just said, as like whether it's a duet or it's but they're telling a story with movement with their with dancing, and you look at them and you and you can tell two people who are truly connected well because their movement is beautiful, it's seamless, it's they're they're floating and then you have the the pairs or the teams or whatever, and they're there's something not gelling, right?
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not as fluid, and it's uh ooh, that dance seems more manipulated versus a flow.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man more manufactured, yeah, yeah.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: And that's it, this is this is where where the differentiation is those people aren't it it it's not easy, but the people you are watching make it look easy.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_01: They make it look easy because of the years of study that they've done and the years of development because those two people have to bring what they bring to the table to create the synergy, and it's the synergy that we're looking to to create in teams.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um very much so.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um very much so.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: The um I I I I I'm kind of going back and forth into the ballroom mode.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um everybody does everybody would love to have the benefits of being a really good dancer.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, a really good dancer, skilled dancer, I mean, and I'm you know, no one is born we're born with some ability, maybe some more than others, but no one is born with skill.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_01: No one is born with skill.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so, I mean, in everything, I mean skill and networking.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I have the ability to like connect with people, but I still need skills and like what the heck to say and how to follow up and and other things.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: So um so um the idea is that um that within this workshop, it's about bringing giving people some practical practical skills.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um in you know, in in maybe the first workshop, I love to I love to work like, you know, getting getting um um uh working with people every couple months or something like that.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: Haven't haven't really had any um um opportunity to do that yet, but uh I can see that rolling this out over periods of time can really lock in to help people massage these skills and practice them and follow up with how is this working for you?
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: I and so listeners, I want you to really take note to this.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: As a leader, I you know the key thing, and I want the takeaway is is building trust among your team and also helping to create a fluid pattern that people can work well together with.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes in creating that fluidity, you may have to change your partner, meaning maybe the person there is somebody on your team or that you're working with that either is not for your team or maybe it doesn't fit.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's a cultural or values issue, but to create that fluidity fluidity in the team where people are working well together is it is creating that trust and helping them connect at a deeper level so that they know each other.
• 27:51
