Stop Arguing. Start Understanding - NaPodPoMo 2025 Day 24

Understanding is winning.

Day 24 of our 30-day challenge on bridging our divides.

Earlier in this series, on Day 6 and Day 12, we explored a critical question:

How do we create an environment for constructive debate — without expecting people to soften their positions?

Today, we’re diving deeper with a fresh perspective.

The truth is: the key isn’t what we believe, but how we show up to the conversation. When the goal shifts from winning to understanding, everything changes.

Joining us is Calista Small, Research Manager at More in Common, where she studies social cohesion and how communities can disagree better.
