Why You Don't Want To Win The Argument | Jefferson Fisher (PT. 1)

You might prove a point in an argument, but what will you lose in the process? In today’s episode, Jefferson Fisher and Ryan talk about the art of handling arguments, drawing on wisdom from the Stoics, Jefferson’s real-world legal practice, and Abraham Lincoln’s legendary diplomacy. They discuss why being "right" isn't always worth the cost, how to stay grounded in the age of social media outrage, and the importance of knowing your “Alamo,” the hill you’re actually willing to die on.

Jefferson Fisher is one of the most respected voices on communication and arguments in the world. He is a Texas board certified personal injury attorney and law firm owner of Fisher Firm. Millions of people and some of the world's leading brands come to Jefferson for advice and practical strategies to communicate more effectively.
