006: Lead — With Love

Everyday Mindfulness Show

Host, Mike Domitrz, welcomes CAST members Todd Adams, Barry Moniak, and Berni Xiong who engage in a thought - provoking conversation about how do we lead with love, especially when we disagree with someone or their point of view. Inspired by the quote, “The music of God is always playing. Are you listening?” from Breakfast with Buddha, by Roland Merullo the CAST challenge each other and the listeners to leave room for edits (it's ok to make mistakes-we all do it) while becoming better listeners. It gets a bit sticky as they discuss the current political atmosphere and engaging in conversations with others who may not share their views. The conversation comes full circle when it ends with love. Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.
