In this episode, I talk with Dr. Lance Bennett, founder of The People’s Institute for the Common Good, an organization dedicated to creating spaces where people come together for honest conversations, shared learning, and imagining a better future rooted in justice and community.

Dr. Bennett’s work shows what’s possible when we create new spaces for connection and change. We discuss the impact his Institute is making, the conversations it’s sparking, and what’s coming next for this growing movement.

This episode reminds us that building space for everyone to be seen and heard is essential if we want real equity in higher education and our communities.
