And one of the things that I love the Global Compassion Coalition is doing is creating compassion circles.

And I wanted to ask, at a nervous system level, what happens inside of us when we sense we're part of the in-group versus the out-group?

Now, Rick, I thought that was a great foundation and complimented a lot of what Josh was saying.

And Josh, I want to talk about expanding the circle, going from personal to cultural, etc.

What do you find are the most effective tools for widening our circle of caring beyond people who look or think like us?

Before we continue, I want to pause on something important.

Listening to a conversation about compassion, moral courage, and shared humanity is one thing.

Practicing it, especially when it's inconvenient, is another.

Every week, people tell me, I believe in these ideas, but how do I actually live them?

This episode exists because widening the circle of moral concern isn't theoretical.

It shows up in real choices, real lives, and real action.

If this conversation moved you, here's one meaningful way to respond.

This episode supports pods fight poverty with a clear and urgent goal.

to raise $1 million in direct cash assistance so families in three villages in Rwanda can decide for themselves what they need most.

Right now, Giving Multiplier is matching first-time donations by 50%, meaning every $100 becomes $150 while matching funds last.

If you've ever asked yourself how to turn empathy into impact, this is one answer.

Now, a quick break from our sponsors.
