I Respectfully Disagree: The Lost Art of Disagreeing Well | Justin Jones-Fosu (EP43)

I Respectfully Disagree: The Lost Art of Disagreeing Well | Justin Jones-Fosu (EP43)

In this episode, we’re joined by speaker and author Justin Jones-Fosu to explore how respectful disagreement can be a powerful antidote to today’s growing loneliness epidemic. With half of Americans reporting just three or fewer close friends, we examine how fear of judgment, cancel culture, and surface-level conversations are driving disconnection. Justin unpacks concepts like the “dotted line dilemma” and the “illusion of asymmetric insight,” showing how our assumptions often block true connection. He also shares practical strategies to foster curiosity, embrace open-hearted dialogue, and stay present—even when we disagree. This conversation is a compelling reminder that we don’t have to agree to connect—we just have to keep talking.
