Show by Michael OBrien
Please meet Jayanta Jenkins from Washington.He pulled himself up from very basic beginnings to lead creative organizations at Apple, Disney, Twitter, and Starbucks, and spent 14 years at Wieden+Kennedy and TBWA\Chiat\Day learning how stories either bring people together or drive them apart.In this episode from Season 1 of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, Jayanta Jenkins gets to the heart of what's fracturing us. His answer isn't a policy or political failure. It's an empathy deficit, supercharged by algorithmic fear bubbles and misinformation moving faster than our ability to think critically.His prescription? Kintsugi empathy. Slow down. Think before you react. Give people enough space to actually be understood.
