    Sep 20 2024

    Dylan tackles the complex reasons why people don’t get along and why division seems to define our times. It’s not just politics, race, or religion—it’s the biases we learn, the miscommunications we perpetuate, and the walls we build within ourselves. Dylan breaks down why personal biases, fear, and ego keep us from connecting with others and challenges listeners to shift their focus from what divides us to what bonds us. It’s about asking the right questions, embracing empathy, and finding common ground—even with those you disagree with or dislike. From power dynamics to cultural differences, Dylan gets real on why we’re more alike than different and why understanding that could change everything. Whether you’re navigating relationships, work conflicts, or just trying to make sense of the world, this episode pushes you to see beyond the surface and recognize the humanity in everyone. Open your mind, confront your biases, and discover why it matters.
