"I See What You Mean" is a weekly podcast about how and why we get on the same page with each other… or don’t… or shouldn't.
In my trailer I tell you why I care about such things in the workplace, at home, in communities and in our country. I describe my interview plans plus confess some geekhood you might find interesting. Or curious!
If you ever wonder what to do when you and someone see things so differently there's no agreeing what to do, listen for 2 minutes and subscribe if you think I might have some good ideas.
Even if you don't subscribe, I think you'll love the very cool (copyright compliant!) blues song I use.
Best to you and yours,
Lou

We've Talked Politics, Religion, Work and Relationships. With Rum. And Lived To Tell About It - Part 2
In Part 2, Dan Morford and I pick up our discussion of power, control and the nature of honest, open dialogue. We talk about how bad our country's divisiveness might get, and what it will take to climb out the hole we've dug for ourselves - for our kids. Quick fixes won't do. "Sides" can advocate all they want, but real solutions will take time, compromise, and some amount of inconvenience, pain and sacrifice. But what are our options? More divisive rhetoric? The solutions we need - solutions that work for our democracy and country - will come from our differences if we figure out how to dialogue about them.
Part 2 opens with Dan answering a question I asked at the close of Part 1: When you ask questions to learn, rather than fire your views at someone, have you seen conversations develop differently and go in a better direction. Here are a few of my favorite ahh-ha! moments:
00:06 and on - Honest, open, reasonable dialogue can't occur until we put aside control
4:29 and on - Real solutions take almost as much time as the real problems they fix
7:40 - We have a very short-term, fickle mentality here
11:27 - Extreme voices get covered. Centrist voices not so much. So what do we do?
16:32 - Politicizing everything is easy. But taking "I" out of rhetoric and putting trust back in.....that's hard
21:06 - Agree to disagree? Agree to how we'll disagree? Or disagree today but continue the dialogue tomorrow.
