What a strong first episode. The ease between you two comes through in every exchange, and your friendship makes the conversation warm and inviting. The personal stories were the heart of it for me. Brough, your story about the park bench, and Julia, the moment you asked yourself whether you were proud of where you were, made the big ideas feel real, and I saw myself in both. You also got me moving: today I started researching how people are feeling about events in the U.S. and around the world. Next I’ll look at what people and organizations are doing about it, especially those who see things differently than I do. That feels like the “listening across difference” you two talked about. I finished the episode energized and can’t wait for the next one. Well done!
