Being “open minded” is a sexy concept nowadays, yet it seems like the more we look at culture, media and everything in between, everyone is “open minded” until an opposing view or data set comes up. Emotions run wild and make it hard to objectively look at ourselves, others and information. I don’t talk many current issues in this episode, but more ideas, a few examples and questions I want you to think about. Set emotion aside and see what observations you take away. After listening, what do you think, are you as open minded as you thought?
