In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on the tragic murder of Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO whose death deeply affected the central Iowa community where we both grew up. I share my personal memories of Brian, discuss the tribute article I wrote that went viral, and critique the negative responses it received. I explore the broader implications of social media on society, emphasizing the need for empathy and human connection in a world increasingly driven by online interactions. I conclude with a call to action for listeners to engage positively with their communities and to remember the humanity behind the headlines.
