    Stop Judging People. Go Meet Them. | Peter Santenello

    It is easy to judge people from a distance. It is much harder to reduce them to a stereotype once you have sat with them, listened to their story, and tried to understand how they see the world. In this episode, Ryan talks with filmmaker, traveler, and author Peter Santenello about what he has learned from meeting people across America. They discuss how our bubbles distort the way we see others and why curiosity is more useful than judgment. Peter also explains how traveling to 85 countries changed the way he sees the United States, why America is more hopeful than the headlines suggest, and what happens when we stop talking about people and start talking to them. Peter Santenello is an independent journalist and filmmaker with over four million subscribers on YouTube. He’s traveled to eighty-five countries and lived in five, building a global audience by letting people tell their stories in their own words. These days, Peter’s lens is focused squarely on the United States, where he explores the diverse, complex, and often misrepresented communities that make up the fabric of America. 📕 Pick up a signed copy of Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home by Peter Santenello at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/ Check out Peter’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PeterSantenello Follow Peter on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/petersantenello/?hl=en Peter’s Website | https://petersantenello.com/ 📚 Pick up a copy of the books Ryan recommended to Peter at The Painted Porch: https://www.thepaintedporch.com/ 🎟️ DAILY STOIC LIVE | Ryan Holiday is coming to a city near you! Grab tickets here |  https://www.dailystoiclive.com/ 🎙️ AD-FREE | Support the podcast and go deeper into Stoicism by subscribing to The Daily Stoic Premium - unlock ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content: https://dailystoic.supercast.com/ 🎥 VIDEO EPISODES| Watch the video episodes on The Daily Stoic YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyStoic/videos ✉️ FREE STOIC WISDOM | Want Stoic wisdom delivered to your inbox daily?
