Mark connects us with educator, employment attorney, and mediator Frederick Golder to examine how conflict resolution has evolved alongside human behavior. From litigation to empathy-driven solutions, they explore how emotions, personality types, and technology shape the way we handle disputes. Together, they advocate for teaching emotional intelligence early, understanding personal differences, and embracing self-awareness as a lifelong skill. With reflections on societal polarization and the role of cooperation in our future, this episode delivers thoughtful insight into where we’ve been—and where we might be headed!
