Our guests represent a broad range of different political views and partisan affiliations–and are bound to express opinions we don’t necessarily share. They all agree, however, that we must take responsibility for our democracy and are putting that conviction into action.
Darren: How to Not Be Toxic, the fifth episode of Power Up Podcast, discusses the journey we can all take from counter-productive anger and finger-pointing to mutual respect and working towards solutions. How can I tap into empathy when surrounded by apathy and vitriol? Why is it important to identify my own toxicity before pointing out someone else’s?
