Nick Leighton is a two-time Emmy Award-winning talk show host and journalist originally from a small hippie commune in Northern California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nick produces and edits the podcast Were You Raised by Wolves?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In his podcast, he is joined by his co-host Leah Bonnema, a stand-up comedian on the Late Show with Steven Colbert. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick currently resides in Manhattan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lindsay asks Nick how they came up with their podcast title, \u201cWere Your Raised by Wolves?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n She wanted to know how wolves relate to manners and etiquette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick says that the title is an English expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To be raised by wolves means that someone is not raised to have good manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This expression assumes that a person is not raised by humans but by wild animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lindsay asks Nick what the difference is between etiquette and manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick says that manners are the universal principles of how you should behave; no matter what race or nationality you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Etiquette on the other hand is how a certain culture interprets specific manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He gave an example to show the difference between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When driving a car, it is known around the world that we shouldn\u2019t hit people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is good manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Etiquette on the other hand is a bit different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An example of this is that in America, the etiquette is to drive on the right while in Australia, the etiquette is to drive on the left. Nick points out, that it is the same manners but different etiquette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both are achieving the same attitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another example mentioned by Nick is that in certain religions, you need to remove your hat or head cover when entering a place of worship, while others require them to keep their head covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, this is showing differences in etiquette but the same manners of generally showing respect<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the day, etiquette and manners are being kind and mindful of the people around us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick shares that etiquette can be local. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be local to a country or a certain city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are planning to live in another country or a new city, you should study the etiquette of the place to be able to blend in well and build connections easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In New York City<\/a> there is a certain etiquette that you should be aware of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He will be sharing six etiquette tips in New York City in this episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Being mindful and respectful of other people is important wherever you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In any city, you should put in the effort to abide by the etiquette in the place you are visiting or planning to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will be highly appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Etiquette crimes can happen and perfection is not demanded of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You won\u2019t be any less of a person if you miss a detail or two but make sure to keep learning and be aware of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can apologize<\/a> if something were to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick shares that it\u2019s never about the crime.
