In this episode, we revisit Amy Jo and Van’s conversation in which Van talks about why he believes America is so divided & what we can do to begin bridging the divide. Van has a strong ability to serve as a bridge for opposing opinions. We need a lot more of that in this world. He describes what it was like leaving the White House and what he did immediately following. Van also shares the unique circumstances that led him to meeting Prince (the artist) & becoming very close friends.
