Hi, I love your brain. Listened to Resmaa last weekend and was obsessed. Endless real-world applications to his wisdom. John was hooked too, as someone who has been in countless "nonprofit diversity seminars" that resulted in nothing. Resmaa's book has been "on my list" for two years; I'm not sure why I never committed.

ps. can't wait for a cultural shift from public image/virtue-signaling (on both the woke left and the right) to a greater emphasis on inner work. It will make a new kind of socialism possible.

Yeah. Agree. It's the only way forward. Personal transformation would allow us to shift from white defensiveness and avoidance to participation in transformation. Institutions only change in the hands of the people running them.

I need to read his book, too! You were one of (probably the first of?) several people I saw/heard talking about that pod. He's a visionary. xo
