About this episode
The episode discusses the balance between providing helpful feedback and overwhelming others with too much information.
If someone says the wrong thing, is it actually helpful to tell them? Today's caller, Jeff, got a message from an acquaintance asking if Jeff could secure an internship for his son. Jeff told his acquaintance that it would have been better if the son had reached out directly... should he have said that? Today, Jason and Nicole help you find the line that separates helpful feedback from overkill.
