In this powerful and timely conversation, host Brandon Clift sits down with Kenny Andejeski—a strategist, facilitator, and civic connector—who specializes in building community across difference. Together, they explore how emotional intelligence, curiosity, and local action can help us bridge divides that feel increasingly entrenched, especially around politics, race, and masculinity.

💥 What You'll Learn:

  • Why politics is often a surface-level identity—and how going deeper reveals our shared humanity
  • How emotional regulation and storytelling open the door to deeper understanding across difference
  • The dangers of binary thinking and how it fuels division and dehumanization
  • Tactics for working through internal triggers before reacting in conversations around race and politics
  • The power of local civic engagement as a force for tangible change
  • Why inclusion and relational repair must start with doing your own inner work
  • How Kenny’s project on “The Future of Masculinity” is creating space for diverse and authentic male identities

✨ Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world or stuck in difficult conversations, this episode offers grounded tools and hopeful perspective on how to stay in relationship with yourself and others—even when it’s hard.
