One of the unexpected joys of writing How to Disagree Better has been getting to have conversations with people who ask genuinely curious questions - and @guykawasaki is a great example!

We talked about why disagreement so often goes wrong, why persuasion isn’t always the right goal, what it means to actually make someone feel heard, and why the best conversations are often the ones that leave both people wanting to keep talking.

Guy brought his curiosity, humor, and willingness to challenge ideas (including mine), which made this a particularly fun conversation.

We even ventured into diplomacy, family conflict, body language, personal stories, and why the goal of a disagreement might simply be to build a bridge to the next conversation.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate difficult conversations without sacrificing your relationships, or your convictions - I hope you’ll enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Thank you, Guy, for such a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
