1) Pick your fights.
2) Set and know the terms under discussion.
3) Seek to learn and to educate, not to win.
4) Discuss with intellectual honesty.
5) Know your information.

A truly skilled warrior knows when to fight and when not to fight for not every battle is worth winning

"Does this serve me?" is such a powerful question to ask yourself.

These principles play alot into a person's values and character. I know who I am and who I'm not.

A great man once said "If a man uses profanity it shows his vocabulary is getting sparse." Always felt it helps getting a point across without using profanity

I learned while earning a bachelors degree in communications that soft start, receiver approach, and active listening are some of the fundamental pillars to effective interpersonal communication.

I'm guilty of many of these things without even realising. Thankyou for this video as if will give me things to work on to grow as a man.

Not a boring topic. Not unlike teaching someone how to sharpen a knife. Or sharpen an ax, or sharpen a chainsaw chain. The sharper our conversation skills are, the better we will converse.

I don’t know how many times I’ve responded to some social media comment, something where I disagree, and instead of actually posting my response, I just delete the entire response and move on.
And some of my best social media comments have been through private messaging the person, instead of throwing out my response for the whole world to read.
Plus it doesn’t hurt to take the time to be thoughtful about what you are saying, and consider how it will be heard by the listener.

I'm praying for you and everyone who listens to your videos.

A man u r a true man.

[mitchnidey]

It is very important for us to stay humble. It's hard to follow after a prideful man. When we realize that we can learn from the experience of others, we open ourselves up to intellectual growth.

A communications course should be a requirement for high school graduation imho. One that covers both interpersonal and mass communications. This would help everyone consume media more responsibly, i.e. cable news, advertisements - and it would help everyone communicate more effectively in multiple situations, i.e. intercultural, small group, organizational, public speaking, etc. Like you said, this stuff is common knowledge. It can require a little unpacking and practice, but it's not overly difficult to improve communication.

Every video you make helps me better myself as a person. I’m progressing more and more every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep making video’s!!

Great talk Ryan. I’ve been guilty of getting sucked into arguments myself and I’ve been more selective. Can you talk more about setting boundaries and having healthy boundaries...

[pandabear]

The real problem/breakdown is when someone truly truly holds your heart in their hand but has no ear to lend, no respect in pocket, no kindness to share and if you leave, your children suffer the most. Yeah...you lose your voice after years of this situation and there is no solution found with tools of love and sanity, and no matter the angle of approach you wake every morning to find yourself at the mercy of worst part is you realize you yourself created the situation, you have spoiled her and given even when you did not receive, because you thought love was supposed to be selfless and that one day she would grow and mature to see the sacrifices you make...so you let the disrespect slide and tell yourself “I’m a bigger man for it”...Im responsible for the situation I’m in...just don’t do the same.
