Episode Description
A few weeks ago, I was sitting at a Costco gas station when I watched a woman pull into the wrong pump and stretch the hose around the back of her van.My immediate thought?"How entitled."A friend I was talking to on the phone saw it differently.He said maybe she was having a rough day. Maybe she had just finished school drop-off. Maybe she was running errands, forgot about gas, and wasn't even driving her own vehicle.Then he said something that stuck with me:"She probably needs a hug."That simple sentence changed how I saw the moment.In this episode, I talk about the stories we invent about people we've never met, why we default to judgment, and what we miss when we do. From a Costco parking lot to graduation ceremonies to conversations with teacher friends in Las Vegas, this episode is about perspective, grace, and the things people carry that we can't see.Thanks for spending a few minutes with me.Brandon
