Some people are idiots (insert mental image of orange-faced political buffoon!). But smart people can also say and believe idiotic things – that’s just life. 🤷 So the question becomes: how do we deal with them?

For our Watch & Talk sessions, this video opens up discussion around disagreement, curiosity, difficult conversations and how we respond to people who challenge us.
Watch the video here (but it’s always more interesting to talk about it 😉):
