An Open Respectful Discussion between Differing Perspectives

This is a long, candid conversation between two strangers. My guest Michael Berg shares with me how he sees the world, and lets me share with him how I see it. We realize through our discussion that we have some fundamental differences of opinion, but we also found some things we could agree on. I appreciated the respect and engagement Michael brought to the table. I think this conversation points to ways that we all get stuck in our stories, and if we choose, how we can still grow in love and understanding. This conversation, I felt was definitely more productive than any conversation we could have had on Facebook. I believe it is important for us as humans to continue to nourish our ability to meet in a conversation. I believe if we had met in person, the conversation would have even held more connection and depth and understanding. I hope those of you who listen to this conversation continue to keep your hearts and minds up to one another.
