The speaker explores the significance of community and how it can help bridge societal divides. They introduce Alexandra Hudson, author of 'The Soul of Civility', who shares insights on building and enhancing communities, highlighting the role of personal relationships in community-building.
In a divided society, idealists believe we can overcome our differences.
Alexandra Hudson is one of those idealists. Disillusioned by the backstabbing she witnessed in federal government, she began to research how we can repair the divisions keeping us apart.
We discuss what being civil means in a dog-eat-dog culture and why building a more connected community can start on the front porch.
This...is A Bit of Optimism.
