Dakota leans more liberal. They grew up differently and see the world through different lenses, yet they choose to work together and lead side by side.Using recent events, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk, as a sober backdrop, Tim and Dakota talk candidly about polarization, why labeling people shuts down solutions, and how local leaders can model respectful disagreement without abandoning core values. They share what it is like to serve on one of Utah’s most diverse city councils, how open dialogue has shaped their votes, and why collaboration beats point scoring. They also explore the influence of social media on youth and how parents, educators, and leaders can encourage critical thinking without indoctrination.If you are tired of the outrage cycle and want a practical picture of what bridge building looks like in real life, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and a challenge to choose connection over conflict.Reach out to be on the program [email protected]
