Manage episode 478660404 series 3655301
Host Ty Cobb-Backer welcomes his close friend Eric Oberembt to discuss Eric's newly published book "Shut The F*ck Up and Listen More" and the powerful philosophy of connection it contains.
• Eric shares that while this is technically his third book, it's his first deeply personal work incorporating his own stories and perspectives
• The book focuses on the TEAM method: Trust, Empathy, Authenticity, and Meaning as the foundation for true connection
• Eric explains he wrote the book for "me 15 years ago" – for anyone who feels disconnected and wants to build better relationships
• The book emphasizes doing what you say you'll do as a core principle of integrity and trustworthiness
• Eric discusses how he incorporated lessons from his recovery journey into business principles without making it an "AA book"
• The most rewarding part of writing was sharing stories about his grandfather who profoundly shaped his life
• Eric believes our modern failure to listen more than we talk has damaged our ability to connect with others
• The book teaches that real growth happens when we stop talking and truly listen without formulating responses
• Eric urges readers to practice curiosity instead of judgment when encountering different belief systems
