<p><strong>Day 30</strong>—the final episode of our 30-day journey into <strong>bridging our divides</strong>.</p><p>Over the last month, we’ve explored everything from navigating disinformation and polarization to building trust and transforming how we relate to one another. We’ve covered big challenges — and big ideas. And today, we’re closing out with something vital: <strong>practical exercises</strong>.</p><p>We’re joined once again by <strong>Guy and Heidi Burgess</strong> of <em>Beyond Intractability</em>. Guy walks us through a set of real-world conflict resolution exercises designed to help people manage deep political and moral disagreements more constructively — and with more respect.</p><p>Bridging isn’t just a concept. It’s something we <em>do.</em>And these skills help us take that first step.</p><p>And that’s a wrap on our <strong>NaPodPoMo 2025</strong> challenge!Thirty episodes in thirty days.</p><p>Thank you for listening, for caring, and for joining me in this work of rebuilding trust — one conversation at a time.</p><p><strong>A huge thank you to:</strong></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.listenfirstproject.org/karissa-raskin"><strong>Karissa Raskin</strong></a> - CEO, <em>Listen First Project</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.si.umich.edu/people/paul-resnick"><strong>Paul Resnick</strong></a> - Michael D Cohen Collegiate Professor of Information and Professor of Information, School of Information</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.uraction.org/who-we-are/our-team"><strong>Kira Hamman</strong></a> - Senior Director of Programs, <em>Urban Rural Action</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://dornsife.usc.edu/center-for-political-future/about-the-center/staff/kamy-akhavan-managing-director/"><strong>Kamy Akhavan</strong></a> - Managing Director, the Center for the Political Future (CPF) at the University of Southern California</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.us-united.org/#who-we-are-2"><strong>Adam Mizel</strong></a> - Co-Founder & CEO, <em>US United</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bahai.us/public-affairs/about-us/team/matthew-cotton-jr/"><strong>Mat Cotton</strong></a> - US Bahai Office of Public Affairs Race Discourse Officer, Baha’is of the United States</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://thinkingispower.com/about/"><strong>Melanie Trecek-King</strong></a> - Associate Professor of Biology at Massasoit Community College and Creator of <em>Thinking Is Power</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://taniaisrael.com/"><strong>Tania Israel</strong></a> - Professor, Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology - UC Santa Barbera</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://juneklees.com/"><strong>June Klees</strong></a> - Historian and educator at Bay College in Michigan</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morelikeus.org/cofounders"><strong>James Coan</strong></a> - Co-Founder and Executive Director, <em>More Like Us</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.beyondintractability.org/moos/ghburgess"><strong>Guy and Heidi Burgess</strong></a> - Lifelong educators and conflict resolution pioneers, Co-Directors of the <em>Conflict Information Consortium</em>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.beyondintractability.org/">Beyond Intractability</a>, and the free <a target="_blank" href="https://beyondintractability.substack.com/">BI Substack Newsletter</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://moreincommonus.com/team/calista-small/"><strong>Calista Small</strong></a> - Research Manager, <em>More in Common</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.longertables.org/about"><strong>Tim Jones</strong></a> - Founder & Executive Director, Longer Tables</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://legislativesemester.org/"><strong>Kate Ullman</strong></a> - Executive Director, <em>Legislative Semester</em>; CoFounder and Chair, <em>Wisconsin Civic Learning Coalition</em></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://crossingpartylines.com/about-crossing-party-lines/"><strong>Lisa Swallow</strong></a> - Co-Founder, <em>Crossing Party Lines</em></p><p><strong>Learn more:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/">OutrageOverload.net</a> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.beyondintractability.org/educationtraining/exercises-and-simulations">BI Exercises, Online Tutorials, and Simulations</a></p><p><strong>Join the movement to lower the temperature:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/join-the-movement/">Count Me In for Calm</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Outrage Overload Newsletter at <a href="https://outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe</a>
