[29:59] When we think of great leaders as being effective communicators what often comes to mind is how they deliver their message from the platform. Style, clarity, passion, inspiration - what comes from their mouth,  but less often gets absorbed and processed through their ears.  In our episode today, Joel Schwartzberg enlightens us with valuable tips and great stories on how we as leaders can be more effective listeners.
