Not an FA, but this is on-point in life or any industry. My wife (wildly successful in her own right) reminds me before EVERY dinner/small group/get together: "Be interest-ED, not interest-ING" because she knows what you say here, the real value you add is in listening and validating other people's lives, lived experiences, and perspectives.
Love this!
Thanks, @Sam Kinter!

fun aside, Carnegie was laboring in obscurity before publisher Leon Shimkin took notice. Interesting article about how being interest-ED in others is a win-win for everyone: https://www.investors.com/news/management/leaders-and-success/leon-shimkin-helped-create-the-book-publishing-industry/
thanks Tim! keep up the great pieces.
Wise person, your wife!
