In this episode of BJJ Meditations, host Joe Hannan reflects on the
recent presidential election and its implications for society. He
discusses his views on Donald Trump, the complexities of the

a framework for understanding and navigating these challenges. Joe
emphasizes the importance of shared experiences and participatory
knowledge in fostering understanding among diverse groups,
ultimately advocating for a more connected and less divided
society.
