Archive: What if Trump wins again? The role of Compassion in politics l With Bryan Welch

In this episode, originally recorded during the 2020 elections, Inner Green Deal co-founder Jeroen Janss spoke to Bryan Welch, leading publisher on sustainability, former CEO of mindful.org and committed rancher from Kansas.

He asked Bryan how he felt about the prospect of a second-term Donald Trump presidency and what a contested election means for America.

Knowing the system from the inside, he points to the divisions that he has seen deepening over the years and the media and vested interests that have played a role in that. Yet despite the challenging outlook, Bryan also sees many positive developments and talks about the millions of people that discover the power of compassion – a quality that he sees not only as distinctively human - and grounding - but also as critical at a time of societal division, environmental mass extinction and climate change. 

So take a deep breath and listen to Bryan’s wisdom while the US election season gets underway in earnest.
