Despre acest podcast
The Good Think looks at the problems we’ve learned to live with — from the patriarchy to food banks to participation ribbons — and asks what they reveal about how we think, lead, and connect. Hosted by Dr. Denaige McDonnell, it’s a mix of storytelling, systems insight, and straight talk about the messy realities behind modern life.
