In this special episode, I am talking to Bryan Welch, leading publisher on sustainability, CEO of mindful.org and committed rancher from Kansas. I ask Bryan how he feels if Donald Trump were to win and what a contested election means for America. Knowing the system from the inside he points to the divisions that he has seen deepening over the years and the media and vested interests that have played a role in that. Yet despite the challenging outlook, Bryan also sees many positive developments and talks about the millions of people that discover the power of compassion – a quality that he sees not only as distinctively human - and grounding - but also as critical at a time of societal division, environmental mass extinction and climate change.  So take a deep breath and listen to Bryan’s wisdom while the reality of the US elections slowly unfolds.
