Dr. David Baum is a man of many roles. From conflict mediation in Northern Ireland to designing walking board meetings in the Middle East to working in a circus, he's done it all. But truly, it is his dedication to understanding the completeness of human nature that is his greatest strength. He works as a coach and conversation architect, alongside the likes of Jane Goodall, Life is Good, and the Philadephia Flyers.

All of David's accomplishments come down to one thing; his why. David believes in creating connection without dots, in bringing people together and connecting through boundaries. He holds doctorates in both social psychology and divinity, finding the overlap between both horizontal and vertical connections.

In this conversation, David explains just why conversation is so crucial to human connection and what it really means to find your tribe.
