Suzanne Santo shares how her relationship with Ben Jaffe in the band has taught her valuable lessons in communication and humility, which have improved her other relationships 1. She emphasizes the importance of approaching conflicts with love and understanding to reach resolutions. Joe Rogan adds that our upbringing often shapes how we handle conflicts, as illustrated by Suzanne's humorous anecdote about a family bird mimicking her mother's yelling 2.

If you approach any conflict or confrontation literally, and I'm not trying to be weird with love, and you're like, I love this person. And you listen, I think more often than not, you can really come to a resolve.

--- Suzanne Santo

Ben contrasts this with his own experience of being "frozen out" by his mother, highlighting different familial dynamics and their impact on conflict resolution 2.

It makes you understand love in a weird, pure form, you know? I mean, and people could say it's a drug, but that drug, by the way, exists in everyone's brain right now as we speak.

--- Joe Rogan
