The bit about reading faster than people can talk hits home for me. Listening to video (or audiobooks or podcasts) is like processing information in slow motion. Also, we should talk about how people tend to trust video more, and how that’s messing with critical thinking.

If being a lawyer has taught me anything, it is this: Lawyers are insecure. Negotiating SMB M&A deals should, on the face of it, be a reasonably collaborative affair. Each side has certain interests, sure. But ultimately, both buyer and seller want the same thing. So why is it
