Calling Them Evil, We Miss Their Story Guest: Bob Bordone

My guest Bob Bordone is an internationally recognised negotiator and the founder of the Negotiation and Mediation Clinic at Harvard Law School. He started his own YouTube channel in September 2021 where he discusses negotiation principles in many spheres in life. He explains how he decided to focus on public policy issues in negotiation and how we would all have better outcomes if we had better conversations. He talks about why he started his YouTube channel and his ideas and initiatives about using negotiation in the most contentious issues in politics in the US i.e abortion and guns. I follow negotiator Bob Bordone's YouTube channel fondly. He and I share an interest in civic life and politics, as well as a clinical teaching background. He applies negotiation theory to films, events in Oscar ceremonies and many policy and political settings. This is of utmost importance in today’s polarized world where democracy is under serious threat. Bob maintains the only way to resolve any of the most contentious issues in society is through negotiation.
