In this episode, DJ discusses the transformative power of "sitting in the mud" with others during challenging moments, a concept coined by Simon Sinek.

Instead of offering advice, this approach focuses on simply being present and listening without judgment.

DJ reflects on his own post-college experience with Scott Gibbs, who listened to him for hours without trying to "fix" anything, leading to the co-founding of Acres of Diamonds.

The episode also touches on the male tendency to problem-solve and how building communities where people can openly share and support each other without judgment is essential.
