Not every conflict is caused by bad people — often, it’s caused by bad communication. In this episode, Jimmy and Kyle break down Dr. John Gottman’s “Four Horsemen” — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling — plus one bonus culprit: sarcasm. They explain how each one poisons relationships and team culture, and why even well-meaning conversations can go sideways.
More importantly, they show you how to stop them in their tracks. You’ll learn practical, real-world strategies for building trust, leading with vulnerability, and creating a healthier workplace — even on the days when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
