Are you unintentionally creating emotional connections you never meant to start? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with dear friend and Pastor John Palacios as they tackle an often overlooked truth: your words have power over the opposite sex. The way you notice, affirm, and make someone feel can open doors whether you intend to or not. Too many men speak carelessly, not realizing how their words can spark emotional responses that lead to situations they're not prepared for. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026.
