Curiosity, Connection, and Communication with Dr Jayson Dibble
If you can make a connection with somebody and have them walk away with the emotion of that connection tied with just one thing, just one truth, then, boy, that's going to be the most effective thing ever.
Imagine blending the mind of a scientist with the heart of a storyteller. That's exactly what you'll find in this episode featuring Dr Jayson Dibble, a communications professor at Hope College.

From their shared experiences on the Laughter RX committee for LaughFest and Gilda's Club, these two dive deep into how empathy and skepticism shape our interactions. Dr Dibble doesn't just stick to the academic; he shares his love for snorkeling and his approach to breaking bad news with a touch of humanity. His thoughts on the impact of COVID-19 on communication are particularly eye-opening, shedding light on how we can stay connected even when we're physically apart.
If you're looking for a mix of scientific insight and genuine conversation, this episode offers both in spades. Dr Dibble's wisdom on making emotional connections is something we can all take to heart: 'If you can make a connection with somebody and have them walk away with the emotion of that connection tied with just one thing, just one truth, then, boy, that's going to be the most effective thing ever'.
