This episode explores the importance of listening and seeking to understand, especially during divisive times.

Key Points:

1. Listen Without Agenda: Approach conversations with curiosity, not judgment, to foster understanding.

2. Psychological Safety: Everyone deserves to express their opinions without fear of retribution or humiliation.

3. Find Common Ground: Even if perspectives differ, shared values may be expressed uniquely.

4. Deep Listening Tips:

- Paraphrase what you hear to show understanding.

- Use silence to encourage deeper expression.

- Practice by observing conversations, even with the TV muted.
