Your brain might be sabotaging your listening skills, and you don’t even realize it.

In this solo episode, Tim Newman dives into the five most common listening mistakes that quietly destroy relationships, teamwork, and trust. From the sneaky dopamine hit that pulls the conversation back to you to the science behind why your brain zones out mid-sentence, this episode unpacks the hidden habits that keep us from being powerful communicators.

Backed by neuroscience and loaded with actionable fixes, you'll learn:

How to use the “two-second pause” to instantly improve leadership communication
Why even a face-down phone can drop conversation quality by 32%
How asking verification questions increases team innovation by 22%
Why removing distractions can help you reclaim public speaking confidence in everyday conversations

Whether you're leading a team, speaking to a crowd, or connecting with a friend, these small changes in listening habits can radically improve how people respond to you.

Which mistake are you ready to fix first?
