  • Encore Talking Politics Beyond Creative Sound Bites and Partisan Noise
    Dec 18 2023
    In a world filled with manipulated media sound bites and elusive politician responses, I'm sure many of us can relate to the frustration. On the next episode of Stop Telling and Start Listening, we have a unique guest, Adam Frisch, who ran for a congressional seat in Colorado in the closely contested 2022 election. Adam is the first politician to accept our invitation, and I'm excited not because I endorse his politics (frankly, I don't even know his views), but because I'm eager to engage in a genuine learning conversation. It's a chance to delve into what he believes, why he believes it, and how those beliefs shape his politics. Even when if we don't see eye to eye, there's an immense opportunity to learn something from him and more about one another. Join me for an hour of authentic, information-packed dialogue, free from the constraints of two-minute commercial or media sound bites. We'll explore the current political climate, gain insights, and bridge gaps through the power of listening and learning. Don't miss this opportunity to truly understand the people behind the politics. Tune in to our next episode and let's start the conversation.
