Failing Up
Life is improvisation! Observations from a regular guy on how with world around us impacts who we are and what we perceive. I explore how life is more about asking questions than accepting what is presented. In addition to my own reflections and experiences, I interview guests from the art, literary, music, cultural and political fields to gain insight as to how we all impact the world we share and our joint realities.
We are all failing up!
Failing Up
United We Stand .....
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
And Divided We Fall! There is a reason that leaders like to have people divided simply because it weakness their voice and power of influence. In this time of division and name calling, I find myself constantly reflecting on the basic conflict resolution model. In that model sides work through emotions, to issues, towards common interests, then to consensus. We all have common interests, in our case freedom, stability, security and opportunity. These may look different for some, but they are common. If parties and groups are kept in the emotional phase through fear, anger, and other rhetorical tactics they never realize their shared interests and combined strengths. Unfortunately, It then takes a crisis for those parties to come together.
