EPISODE 09: HONORING THE ABSENT

Speaking negatively about other people often comes from a place of low self-esteem or feeling threatened by the success of others — and it can be very detrimental to establishing trust within a group or a community. On this episode of The Harbor by Jostens, Mike and guest Tom Cody challenge gossipers to examine why they gossip and offer tips on how to redirect their energy into being more positive contributors to society.
