Ep 21: Reflecting on the Last 20 Weeks
TUNE IN: APPLE YOUTUBE SPOTIFY
What is the hopeful majority? Why is it important for us to talk to people we disagree with? It’s been an exciting 20 weeks where we’ve had conversations with presidential candidates, academics, young leaders, and much more. I wanted to take this episode to reflect on why I care so much about this work and to thank you from the bottom of my heart. And importantly, with the tragic attack on Israel and the subsequent conflict and humanitarian crisis, I want to speak to why we must elevate empathy and understanding at a time of deep division and pain.
