“That’s Not What I Meant” (SE06#233)

I asked a guest on my sailboat to steer towards Portoferraio. She followed my instructions—and a little later, I looked up from my screen and realised we were heading towards a reef.

That moment off the coast of Elba made me reconsider how much I assume when I explain something. In this episode, I explore the distance between what we mean, what we actually say, and what someone else understands.

Before explaining the same thing again, there may be something worth discovering: what did the other person hear?
