In this snarky (yet sincere) solo episode, Alex takes aim at two of the most well-meaning yet mildly maddening phrases circulating in our daily lives: “Welcome in” and “Perfect.” From awkward customer service greetings to the linguistic inflation of superlatives, it’s a light-hearted exploration of how our words shape expectations—and what we might be losing in the pursuit of flawless interaction.We’re not canceling kindness here, just calling for a little variety—and maybe a moment of reflection before we hand out another “perfect” for that black coffee. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!CONNECT:Alex on SubstackPR After Hours SiteProfessional Paragraphs on LinkedInAlex's Author Website Office Hours!Email Alex a voice mail -- just send an MP3 (you can probably record it on your smartphone) with your first name, city, and brief questions here.
