Today we want to take some time to dive into the topic of respect in America, or the lack thereof, that we might be seeing and feeling these days. As we've shared, we started Respect Circles because we recognized a growing divide in this country, partially due to people not listening to each other or communicating effectively. We've seen the behavior and harm this has caused, and believe our podcast is one way to open up broader conversations, have respectful debates, and move things forward together.
And we're excited to share our latest nominees for our new Models of Respect segment, highlighting people in the world that are living and demonstrating our Respect Circles values. If you have someone in mind that you'd like to nominate and have featured on a future episode, please let us know!
Don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and we'd really appreciate you leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform to let us know what you're enjoying about this show. You can also go to https://www.respectcircles.com/voicemail/ to leave us a message and you can also reach us by email, respectcircles@gmail.com to give us your thoughts.
