Send us a text

Spacemen! Did you ever consider that it's really hard to see something from someone else's point of view? Like, maybe you can't even see how your own perspective changes how you view things. 

On today's episode, we talk about blind spots we have--how things we've always assumed are correct--might impact how we approach situations. Also, full disclosure, I'm watching a terrible Christmas movie right now. But maybe it's not terrible? Maybe my blind spot is assuming that good acting makes a good movie. Shame on me. But it doesn't have to be shame on you. Listen to the episode. Consider your blindspots. Be a better person.
