I LOVE this, Ryan. I work every day to confront my tendency to dismiss some people. It's such a fundamental self-protective process but mindfulness is helping overcome it. (I like to think of it as "firmware," not hardware, in the brain. It takes special effort to replace it, but it's possible.)

Same here, Katie! And that’s a great analogy for it. And so important to keep the possibility open.
