Today’s guest is John Sommers-Flanagan, director of the Center for the Advancement of Positive Education at the Phyllis J. Washington College of Education. John is transitioning to this role after a long tenure as professor of counseling at the University of Montana.

John and Justin talk about good faith, the erosion of trust in institutions and confirmation bias. Within the good faith concept, the two discuss intentional acts of kindness as a counter-balance to negativity and bad faith.

This is part one of a two-part series. Tune in to part two next week.
