In this episode, Justin McRoberts and Dan Portnoy discuss Chapter 11 of the book 'Sacred Strides.' They explore the importance of leading with love and true compassion in advocacy work. Justin shares a personal story of his experience as an MC at a music festival and how he initially struggled to connect with the audience. He reflects on the need to meet people where they are and tap into their desires and experiences. The conversation also touches on the pitfalls of manipulative advocacy and the importance of building genuine connections with others. 

Takeaways 
Leading with love and true compassion is essential in advocacy work. Meeting people where they are and tapping into their desires and experiences is more effective than trying to manipulate them into action. Avoid dehumanizing others and focus on building genuine connections. Advocacy should be rooted in empathy and a desire for the wholeness of individuals.
