With the goal of bridging the growing political divide and hopefully building consensus, I regularly discuss the most contentious and relevant issues in politics with those of opposing beliefs. Anyone who disagrees is encouraged to reach out to me via email or through a one-on-one conversation (on Zoom) in a follow-up episode. This is my solution for unloading some thoughts while also attempting to engage with those I disagree with in a constructive manner. Enjoy!
