On the debut episode of Reimagining Us, Nichole and Scott share their personal stories, explain how they came together to cohost the show and relay their vision and the purpose for the series answering the question: 'Why this podcast, now?'

Reimagining Us is not just another conversation series—it’s a vital tool for healing divisions, designing our lives and communities for belonging, and empowering a movement of “builders.” Hosted by two distinguished leaders from the fields of psychology and equity-building, the show takes a nuanced look at the forces that fuel division and highlights actionable paths toward reconnection. As the nation navigates a post-election landscape rife with challenges, Reimagining Us offers a timely and necessary space for discovery, dialogue, and change.

• Nichole Argo, Ph.D.: A behavioral scientist and Founder/Executive Director of the TogetherUp Institute, Nichole brings cutting-edge insights from the psychology of human conflict and connection to understand why we feel divided, and what we can do about it.
• Scott Hutcheson: Executive Director of E Pluribus Unum, Scott offers a wealth of experience addressing systemic inequities and fostering meaningful collaboration across race, class, and culture in the Deep South and beyond. As a region often at the epicenter of racial, political, and economic divides, the Deep South offers a powerful lens for exploring and addressing these issues nationwide.

Together, Nichole and Scott create a dynamic, solutions-oriented conversation that engages listeners with authenticity, curiosity, and expertise.
