“Facts are facts. Some things happened or didn’t happen, and when we’re willing to see clearly, we give ourselves the possibility to choose differently.”
In this conversation, Theresa and Walker sit down with Dr. Brent E. Metz, a sociocultural anthropologist at the University of Kansas, to explore what it means to learn, reflect, and view the world—and ourselves—with greater compassion and clarity.
Dr. Metz shares stories from his early life, his fieldwork in Latin America, and the teachers who shaped the course of his life. They talk about the courage to question what you’ve been taught, the power of curiosity, and the unexpected places where wisdom shows up.
They explore how culture shapes our understanding of intelligence and emotion, why discomfort is a doorway to growth, and how the next generation carries a remarkable sense of ethics, awareness, and possibility. This episode invites you to slow down, listen inward, and notice where your own knowing is asking for space.
