#401: The Shadow Side of "Goodness" | Part 2

The Mark Groves Podcast

In this episode (the second of a two-part series), I explore the shadow side of goodness in our society, highlighting how well-intentioned actions can sometimes lead to harm. I examine how ideologies, often cloaked in moralistic beliefs, can stifle open dialogue and contribute to cancel culture and disconnection in our relationships. Through my personal journey in the political landscape, I talk about the importance of seeking truth and engaging with diverse perspectives. This episode serves as a call to recognize the mechanisms influencing our beliefs and offers an invitation to pursue deeper, more compassionate connections in both personal and collective interactions.
