I've been following Buster Benson for years. His journaling platform, 750words.com, has been a part of my writing process since the inception of the Meaning Movement. Something that's always spoken to me about Buster's work is first, how he works to create tools to help people improve, and second, how he's always working on projects. He's not one to sit around, and I really resonate with that. His most recent work is a book about the importance of disagreements and how to make them productive. In our interview we dig into Buster's work, his many projects, and do a deep dive into how we can make disagreements something more than arguments. I loved connecting with Buster. He's an inspiration and doing such important work.
