I received a sweet email months ago from someone who heard a podcast I was on. Something I said helped bring clarity to a long time decision she had been trying to make. She expressed her gratefulness and hope for her next steps. We exchanged a few emails from there and she ended with, “I’ll let you know how things work out.”
Fast forward six months.
Another email came as promised.
This is where I want this story to end. She said she’d follow up with where things ended up and she did. Very few people ever do this and it was downright refreshing.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
