Summary: Welcome back to Episode #66 of The Daily Interaction podcast. I just love it when one of my listeners sends in a request, so thank you dear Tamkara from Nigeria for asking me to talk about this topic: how do you know when to stay out of it and when to pry to find out more about a problem that your friends, family, colleagues, or peers are having. You know you care about them but how do you show you care without coming across as nosy. Got a topic you want me to talk about on the podcast? Tell me about it by leaving a comment or an email.
