Episode notes

I think we need a lot of storytelling and a lot of art. A lot of sharing of examples of what's possible because people don't know. It's kind of a microcosm of the anti-violence movement with Gandhi, which eventually work. That still in our current culture is outcompeted by the market or momentum for profits.

On this episode, author and social entrepreneur Nina Simons reminds us that in a fact driven culture, sometimes it’s important to return to the emotional, physical, and even spiritual in order to balance the conversation. In a world full of 8 billion unique individuals, how can we learn to listen to each person’s unique experience and perspective? Can we integrate the rational with our intuitions, and embody some of the shifts we’d like to see in the world?
