On this episode of INCOGNITO the podcast, Michael interviews Henry Davis! Henry is a professional filmmaker, movement instructor, and the executive director of Love Bolt, a grassroots effort to spark organic friendships across racial and socio-economic barriers. In this conversation, Michael and Henry discuss the importance of learning about your community and its history, having curiosity for the stories and experiences of others, and getting comfortable stepping outside of your comfort zone in service of personal growth. Henry shares both his and Love Bolt’s mission to encourage people to connect over shared passions, interests, and character instead of proximity or shared background alone.

Take every opportunity to connect over shared interests instead of proximity
Get comfortable being uncomfortable - it’s where learning takes place
