How do you know when you’ve heard a sincere apology?
We apologize to stay connected with the people we love. We feel connected to each other because we understand the context in which we live.

Why Bernie Sanders?
Talking to people who were gathering for a Bernie Sanders rally reminds me of the 2004 Dennis Kucinich presidential campaign.

Why is it hard to get rid of stuff that you really don’t need?
We begin with writer Michael Kleber-Diggs who contemplates whether he would ever be chosen for a survival team and end up at the doorstep of Mary Jane LaVigne and Allen Christian’s House of Balls, an art studio on the West Bank in Minneapolis. In between, there is a memorial service and everything you need to survive the apocalypse.

How did they persist in the face of that kind of adversity?
These are stories of persistence: A single mother who is trying to get some help. Campaigners who don't know when to quit. A fight against segregation. Cafeteria workers who are trying to get the attention of management. A student who won’t take no for an answer. A Senator who won’t say yes. What’s amazing is that all of these stories intersect over time and space.

What was your first car?
If you ask someone about their first car, they'll probably tell you a story. Cars can tell a family history, teach us to deal with adversity and embed themselves into our fondest memories.

What have you learned from watching a YouTube video?
I was charmed by the way people often laughed as they responded to this question. What's so funny about using salt to clean a cast iron skillet? You also hear pride in some voices. Saving money on a dryer repair or fixing a bicycle is a real accomplishment.

What’s going on here in Chicago?
Sometimes Chicago sounded like a casino. Other times a war zone with its relentless wailing of sirens and the whirring of helicopters that hovered almost within reach of the crowds at Millennium Park. Black Lives Matter is trying to get our attention. People talk and I record them. This is not Chicago any more than the pictures I saw people taking of the Trump Tower would epitomize the city. It's just a snapshot of a particular time and place.

What does it mean to be grounded?
What are the barriers to being grounded in a culture filled with distractions and how can we separate the signal from the noise to get grounded?
In this episode...
Being grounded means that you're self-aware, don't put on personas, are down-to-earth and solid but open and probably kind. You have confidence (but you're not cocky), which means that you're not prone to taking things personally. You're comfortable with making meaningful decisions because you have figured out how to separate the signal from the noise; being grounded means that you focus on the important stuff. You're generally calm. Above all you are present! You're living in the moment! You are not judgmental, but accepting of imperfections, including your own. This puts people at ease and that's just one reason why they like you. Why can it be tough to be grounded in today's world? What can we do to filter out the noise of smart phones, war drums and looping commercials that take us away from ourselves? Meditation, walking, yoga and even taking an improv class are just some ideas suggested.
