How often do you find yourself talking (and really listening) to someone who doesn’t share your beliefs? For Jessica Tarlov, it’s her full-time job. Jessica is one of the only liberal panelists on The Five at Fox News and the author of the new book I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends. In this episode, Anne sits down with Jessica at an event for the Leadership Now Project in New York City to reflect on what Jessica has learned during her time at Fox News and how we can bridge political divides in America by disagreeing more skillfully. Jessica explains why she’s stopped trying to change minds in favor of opening them and answers questions from the audience about how to create connections across differences and beat an algorithm built to fuel fear and anger.
