 I was interviewed by Jeff Feingold for this podcast which highlighted my volunteer work with Braver Angels -- bringing Americans together to bridge the partisan divide. Embracing values of respect, humility, honesty, and responsible citizenship, our goal is not to change people’s views of issues, but to change their views of each other.

 We also discussed:

·       the need for teaching civics education, listening skills, and financial literacy in schools;

·       the decline of kindness and basic civility among adults and how that is negatively impacting children; and

·       that leaders who support positive communication skills among employees can better the business bottom line.
