Listen on Purpose: Arguing Joyfully with Raj Vinnakota

Join Rachel Kraus and Caryl Stern as they examine the intersection of purpose and business. In this episode, we hear from Raj Vinnakota, the President of the Institute for Citizens & Scholars. The organization's goal is to "equip young people with the civic skills necessary to navigate a divided country and become effective leaders," and Raj's first-hand experience in the corporate and non-profit world is a case study for productive engagement. As he works with leaders and educators across the country, Raj emphasizes the importance of developing your own skill of discernment, and not assigning equal value to every piece of information you come across. An insightful chat about the potential for reducing conflict in civic spaces everywhere. This podcast is for information purposes only.
