He’s due to release his second documentary Better Left Unsaid about the current polarizing environment of politics.
In this episode, Allie and Desh discuss his journey from growing up in Sri Lanka and living through a civil war for over 2 decades to moving to Australia and becoming an entrepreneur, entertainer, and educator on a global scale; how progress has happened throughout history in 2 ways — violence & conversation — and why now is the time to lead societal change through civil dialogue; and the framework to have productive conversations with people and communities we fundamentally do not agree with.
