In a September 4th release, Derate The Hate Podcast host, Adam (Wilk) Wilkinson, sat down with Convergence leaders and authors of From Conflict to Convergence: Coming Together to Solve Tough Problems.

The episode featured stories from the book and Rob and Mariah’s vast experience solving problems across divides. Takeaways included:

• Bringing people together with honesty and integrity can lead to better solutions than any individual had at the start.
• Listening, asking questions, and understanding each other’s needs and values are essential tools for problem-solving across differences.
• Higher ground solutions that meet the needs of all parties involved can be achieved without compromising values and principles.
• Engaging young people and teaching them how to navigate differences is crucial for building a more functional and civil society.
