Sobre este podcast
If you're weary of political polarization, nothing is more refreshing than nuanced thinking: ideas that reveal the complexity of what's wrong in the world and how to make it better. But where does such thinking come from? Often, it's from someone changing their mind—letting go of an old perspective and growing into a new one. Join executive coach Amiel Handelsman as he interviews nuanced thinkers about the origin stories of their big ideas. Each story offers a window into one of humanity's greatest challenges like climate change, democracy, the culture wars, the wealth gap, Ukraine, and Israel. In weeks between interviews, Amiel offers tips for training your mind to navigate complex topics and difficult conversations.
