We all have blind spots. Hearing someone out doesn’t mean you have to agree with them, but it might challenge an assumption or two. When was the last time someone made you see something differently?

When Americans vote, what are they actually looking for?

We asked registered voters. The answer might surprise you…

39%, the largest group of voters, said they would rather elect a candidate with strong character who doesn't check every policy box than one who does.

Only 25% said full policy agreement was their priority. 29% said it depends and 7% weren't sure.

Policies can change. Character matters in how leaders make decisions, handle disagreement, and use power.

Voters are starting to pay attention to that difference. Choosing character is how we make politics suck less.

We all have different strengths, experiences, and ways of looking at the world. We’re not going to agree on everything or approach every problem the same way, and that’s okay. Sometimes, the best way forward is recognizing what someone else brings to the table that we can’t.

Sometimes, the voice you’re most afraid to use becomes the one people need to hear most.

My friend Brandon Farbstein grew up with a rare form of dwarfism and spent years being stared at, bullied, and made to feel invisible.

At one point, school became so painful that he had to leave. But Brandon didn’t let those experiences become the end of his story.

He found his voice, stepped onto a TEDx stage, became an advocate against bullying, wrote books, and began speaking to thousands of young people who have felt the same kind of isolation he once knew.

What I admire most is that he didn’t wait for the world to change before choosing to show up differently.

He turned the very thing that made him want to disappear into a reason to help others feel seen.

That’s what Builders do: they turn pain into purpose, and adversity into an opportunity to build something better.

“How can you have empathy for Israel after all that’s happened?”

A student in the second row aimed the question at Ezzeldeen Masri, who grew up in Gaza and once threw rocks at Israeli soldiers. Beside him stood Roey Kruvi, an Israeli who grew up never seeing what life looked like for Palestinians.

They were at UT Austin with our sister organization, PeaceWorks, whose On Campus tour visits nearly 50 colleges a semester to show students what real dialogue on Israel and Palestine looks like. Masri’s answer is worth your five minutes.

With the midterms approaching, political posts are only going to get harder to avoid. And not everything that goes viral is worth sharing.

Before we pass along a headline, clip, or claim, it’s worth asking a few questions: Where did it come from? Is the source credible? Have we actually read the article or watched the full video?

Political misinformation can shape how we understand the issues, the candidates, and the people on the other side of the debate. Taking a moment to check before we share helps us make more informed decisions and keeps us from adding to the noise.

Listening is easy when we're waiting for our turn to speak. Listening to understand takes more patience, curiosity, and a willingness to have our assumptions challenged.

We don’t have to agree with someone to try to understand where they’re coming from. A little curiosity can go a long way, especially when we see things differently.
