Show Notes
As the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, the question isn’t just what kind of country we are, but what kind of citizens we’re willing to be.
In this episode, Dr. Paul Zeitz sits down with Maury Giles, CEO of Braver Angels, to explore what it really takes to hold a country together in deeply polarized times. From navigating political divides within his own family to leading a national movement focused on bridging those divides, Maury shares why this moment in American history demands something different from all of us.
Together, they unpack the idea of courageous citizenship: the choice to act instead of react, to stay in conversation instead of walking away, and to recognize that our futures are more connected than we think.
