E47: Conflict and Loving Dangerously with Chad Ford

Welcome, for a fascinating insight into a truly singular human - international conflict mediator, college professor, senior consultant and facilitator for the Arbinger Institute, and NBA analyst for ESPN, Chad Ford. Chad has experienced a lot personally and professionally, and pours these experiences into his writing - fuelling a dedication for helping humanity overcome our differences and reconcile together. In the discussion with hosts Miriam and Brandon, we learn of his story, recounting the steps in life that led him to writing the vital conflict-management book Dangerous Love. Amidst the recent escalation of violence and human suffering in the Middle East, Chad’s wisdom and experience working with both sides of the conflict are more necessary than ever. Join us to uncover the beautiful fruits of this conversation: vulnerability, healing, and shared humanity. True peace resolution is about “us”. Please join us in reading this week’s introductory poem: On Love, by Kahlil Gibran.  https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/148579/on-love
