Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I'm your host, Marco Santarelli. Another interesting interview today with Charles Duhigg. I had him on another interview, another episode. We were talking about The Power of Habit. But his most recent book called Supercommunicators is a fascinating read. You know, it's just interesting communication. We don't really think about it too much, but it is the most powerful superpower that we have. It really is communication is the superpower, and it's the best communicators that understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations. And this is something that we talked about today. There's the practical communication, there's the emotional communication, and then there's the social communication. And if you don't know what kind of conversation you're having, you're unlikely to connect with the person that you're speaking with or talking to, or texting with, or emailing.

So, it's important to know how to communicate and how to be an effective and more powerful communicator. So it was an interesting conversation with Charles today. I hope you enjoy the show. Let me know what your thoughts are. And again, if you haven't subscribed to the show yet, remember to do so. Just takes you three seconds. And with that, let's jump right into our interview.

Thank for having me on again.

Well, it's an honor to have you back, . I couldn't stop talking about our last topic, you know, the, the power of habit and whatnot. But this year you released a new book titled Super Communicator. Is it Super Communicators or Communicator?

It's super communicators, plural.

Super communicators. Interesting. Tell me what the book is about. It's, it's kind of a title where you read it and you don't really think about what it is until you start getting into the book. Yeah. So what is the book all about?

It's, it's about the science of conversation and connection, right? It's about how we have conversations that are successful and how we connect with other people. Because connecting with other people is both very, very important, but also sometimes challenging to achieve.

So let's talk about communication. Is communication in your eyes considered a superpower?

Yeah, no, it absolutely is. I mean, if you think about communication for homo sapiens, our species, yeah, it is the superpower, right? Communication is the thing that's allowed our species to do so well compared to every other, everything else on Earth. It's allowed us to build families and villages and towns. It means that you can, you can learn some piece of knowledge through some hard experience, and you can share that knowledge with someone else who doesn't have to go through the hard experience themself. Communication is our superpower, and our brains have evolved to be very, very good at communication. But what it also means is that in a business setting, in contemporary life,
