Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I explain the importance of a concept that I refer to as "hyperconsent". The ideal thing to strive for when interacting with others in a give and take sort of way, hyperconsent occurs when both parties desire the interaction with 100% of their being. Oftentimes, people find themselves saying "yes" to things that they don't truly want, but feel obligated for one reason or the other. A simple yes, I argue, is the bare minimum, and we should all strive to provide the greatest amount of value that we can possibly provide, such that people want what we have to offer so much, that it would be impossible to imagine them not asking for it. On the other hand, one of the worst types of people to be without getting into trouble, is one one that goes around getting things from people in exchange for the bare minimum, leaving a "bad taste" in their mouth, so to speak. At the end of the episode, I talk about the importance of making sure that you yourself hyperconsent to the things in your own life, making sure that you are only saying yes to things that you truly, truly desire.
