Summary

A native of New Milford, Pennsylvania, author Ash Ambirge often serves as a translator, of sorts, between the languages of “rural America” and “coastal elite America.” In this conversation, Jeff and Ash discuss the hidden human needs behind voters’ embrace of Trump, and how mutual understanding can offer a path to a more productive conversation. You can read Ash’s essays that inspired this podcast at themiddlefingerproject.org. We've gone ad free! Support the Commune podcast here: https://www.onecommune.com/support

0:00.0	Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.
0:16.1	We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together.
0:24.1	This is the Commune podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live this healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life.
0:34.1	Okay, a brief moment at the front here to announce a slightly different approach to the podcast.
0:41.1	So first off, I want to express my profound appreciation to everyone who has supported this podcast, our diligent commune team, all of the brilliant teachers and authors who have been on the show, the mission-driven
0:55.9	brands who have provided financial support, and most of all, you, all of the listeners who have
1:02.1	helped turn this modest endeavor into a powerful platform for ideas. So in my writings and
1:10.0	various exhortations, I have been a vociferous critic of the
1:14.2	ad revenue model, which has misaligned incentives in journalism. And while commune's brand partners
1:21.2	have always been in alignment with our message of well-being and sustainability, I want to
1:27.0	try to produce this show without any
1:29.7	advertisement. Quite simply, I think it's a better experience without ads. This doesn't change
1:36.4	the reality that there are hard costs associated with the production of the show. And moreover,
1:42.3	there is significant time expenditure. Now, I am committed to helping to
1:47.2	build a world where well-being can flourish, and I have to allocate my time accordingly in the
1:54.4	pursuit of this mission. So I never want anyone's financial wherewithal to stand between them
2:00.4	and the ability to glean wisdom from
2:02.6	the guests on this show. So this podcast will remain free to anyone who is interested in listening
2:09.2	to it. That being said, if you have the financial ability to support our efforts, I would be
2:16.0	grateful if you headed over to Onecommun.com
2:19.3	slash support, onecommun.com slash support. You can contribute a few bucks or join
2:27.1	commune membership and get unlimited access to all of our courses. Thank you, and it's an honor to do this work. Okay, onto the show.
