G.R.I.T.-Getting Real Immersed in Truth Robrenna Redl

What’s in a name? Dr. Louie Yang, also known as Dr. Louie, joins me in a conversation about cultural curiosity and the benefits of an immersive experience. In this episode, we discuss the evolution of his name and what sounds like a seemingly innocent question, where you are from. Finally, we discuss the benefits of cultural curiosity and how immersive experiences provide an understanding of another person’s story and authentic relationships.
