Hello! I’m Martin Wieser, the creator of this course. I understand what it’s like to feel the weight of social interactions, especially when they seem to drain more energy than they provide. I’ve always considered myself an introvert, often experiencing that "awkwardness" many of us are all too familiar with.

But over time, I discovered that my introverted nature could actually be a superpower, especially when it comes to building meaningful relationships. By fine-tuning the art and philosophy of active listening, I was able to transform my conversations into sources of inspiration rather than exhaustion.

My journey wasn't easy. There were hurdles and stumbling blocks, misunderstandings, and moments of self-doubt. But each step of the way taught me something valuable, and I’ve consolidated all of those learnings into this course. So after I built this guide for myself, the mission is now to help you shortcut this learning curve, so you can start enjoying your social interactions, cultivating meaningful connections, and even finding a perpetual wellspring of inspiration and lifelong learning from your relationships.
