Built by patriotic volunteers, Braver Angels is a national movement to bridge the partisan divide, equally balanced between conservatives and progressives at every level of leadership. They work in communities, on college campuses, in the media, and in the halls of political power. We’ll offer up a behind the scenes view of this extraordinary group of Americans—how they formed, what they’ve learned and what’s next.
We hope you’ll join us as we explore what happens when people of goodwill who might not agree cross each others’ thresholds and break a little bread together. Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, bring an open mind, an open heart (and an empty stomach) for a continuing conversation on the two topics your mother taught you to never broach in polite company: politics and religion. We can’t wait.

Day to day, Adam Judelson is obsessed with complex problem sets in the product world. This has resulted in him getting more and more excited about simple, but powerful, productivity tools. He comes from Silicon Valley, joining Palantir Technologies in the early days, followed up by some VC backed startups. Outside of tech, he spends a lot of his free time with his kids, riding bikes and polishing up his Dad joke trophies. He also does ocean swimming, and loves the challenge to get out past the waves.
When Adam was a Palantir, he was building great relationships with his colleagues. Then he realized that the relationships he had in his life before had moved on, or changed in natural ways. He started to wonder if there was a way to build something easy, to store information about people and prompt you to checkin with important people.

Reporter Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman chases down the answer and explores the event's highs and lows on this week's episode.
