[26:19] It’s been said that Emotional Intelligence (EI) a.k.a EQ can sometimes be more important than IQ. In this episode, Greg and Ryan speak with EI expert, speaker and author Harvey Deutschendorf. Harvey’s article, Emotional Intelligence: The Other Kind Of Smart, was the cover story for the July 2019 issue of The Toastmaster Magazine.

Harvey enlightens us with what EQ is, how he discovered it and how it’s impacted his life. He also shares with us why it matters and what you can do to boost yours. 

Harvey’s book is entitled The Other Kind of Smart: Simple Ways to Boost Your Emotional Intelligence for Greater Personal Effectiveness and Success. Harvey lives in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and can be reached through his website: TheOtherKindofSmart.com.
