A Perfectly Imperfect Union: Reflecting on America 250 with Howard Miller

The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience. And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------In the latest episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, we travel to Ohio and speak with fellow James Madison University grad, Howard Miller. What does it really mean to have a choice, and to be accountable for it?That's the throughline for Howard Miller, a City of Cincinnati sustainability official and geologist by training, in this episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union.Howard's Cincinnati is a city of crossroads, geographically and culturally, and he sees that same tension play out nationally: incredible freedom of choice, paired with a growing unwillingness to own the consequences. He traces his own shift in perspective back to leaving private consulting for public service, where he found a level of connection to his community he hadn't felt before. It also shows up again in his years coaching youth lacrosse, where the real lesson was never about the sport. Howard's question for you and our next guest is: What is your vision of America in 2050?
