Join Craig and Jesse as they challenge the urge to keep talking and explore the value of silence.
“I find that when I can’t shut up, it’s usually because […] I’m trying to provide more and more and more and more and more and more context. […] it’s really a lot about hiding— So I find when I can’t shut up, It’s because I’m uncomfortable, or I’m afraid.” ~ Craig Constantine (0:55)
