I loved this podcast episode, as always, by @rethinkingjames.bsky.social and with kindered spirit @bruceleeedu.bsky.social Extra bonus was hearing my book mentioned several times! drjamesmannion.substack.com/p/the-missin...

This might be the most important conversation I've had on the podcast – and I don't say that lightly.
