228. Mistakes in Communication can cost you an important friendship with Baseball Great, Greg Pryor

Baseball great Greg Pryor is a good friend. He texted me to tell me I spelled a word wrong in my book. It was actually the name of the man who hired him to play on the Chicago White Sox. The man’s name is Bill Veeck. I spelled it “Veck.”  Greg simply let me know for my next printing. I didn’t interpret it that way. What happened next, is the beauty of the podcast. When we only hear and read words through our own “filter” it can cause damage to a friendship. But when we take the time to understand and admit we reacted through our own ‘filter’ and it wasn’t the best way to respond – your friendship can get closer. That’s what happened, and it was me who reacted like, well, rather childish. Hey, You Just Have To Laugh at yourself, and things can really clear up. This is great podcast in communication. Thanks Greg Pryor for your friendship and proof-reading skills. <p><a href= "https://thedaytheyankeesmademeshave.com">thedaytheyankeesmademeshave.com</a> – Greg’s book</p> <p>naster.com/laughstore    - David’s Book – You Just Have to Laugh Manual</p>
