Have you ever reflected on the quality of your conversations? Are they full of surface-level small talk and gossip? Or do you have valuable conversations that uplift and nourish you? In this episode we speak with Jan Keck about how meaningful conversations lead to more fulfilling relationships. Jan is the creator of the Ask Deep Questions cards – a simple yet powerful deck with 48 questions that invite people to have more meaningful and vulnerable conversations. His mission?
