Summary
Music Biz legend and all-around smart dude, Danny Goldberg returns to Synchronicity.
For those who caught the first episode with Danny you know the episode cut off at the end because the battery on my recorder died. For those of you who didn't listen to that episode, well, now you know too.
Danny is one of my favorite people to talk to not only because he's objectively cool and insightful but he's also got a real knack for presenting perspectives that I don't know anything about. Case in point, he makes a compelling case for Hillary Clinton for president (even though he's a Bernie Sanders supporter).
And yes, in case the title didn't give it away we get deep down in the muck to talk politics for this episode.
Topics Discussed In This Episode
- Compassion in Politics
- Donald Trump
- Does Bernie Sanders have a chance?
- Hillary Clinton
- Danny shares some practical tips that have helped him
- Saying things that are true, kind and helpful

| 0:17.0 | Welcome to Synchronicity. This is episode 21. My guest today is Danny Goldberg. This is his second time on the show. It was on actually episode 17, so not that long ago. The episode clipped off at the end because the batteries in my recorder died, even though I prefaced that in that episode |
| 0:39.3 | that I didn't think they would die, but they did. So I have Danny back on. And we picked up where |
| 0:46.3 | we left off in our last conversation, which was politics. I personally have had a love-hate |
| 0:54.1 | relationship with politics for most of my adult life. I actually |
| 0:59.7 | protested at the Supreme Court in 2000 when George W. Bush won, beat Al Gore with the hanging |
| 1:09.4 | Chad's incident in Florida. |
| 1:11.5 | And I was really into politics, but shortly thereafter, I got actually pretty disillusioned |
| 1:16.2 | when I headed off to college, thought the whole system was rigged, which it may or may not be. |
| 1:21.9 | But I kind of didn't really pay attention to politics too much, but I got to say this election |
| 1:26.3 | cycle has really kind of |
| 1:29.2 | piqued my interest again. How could it not? Right? There's a lot of stuff going on. And yes, |
| 1:34.4 | it's kind of like a sporting event in this country, which is probably not the best way to approach |
| 1:39.7 | politics in general, but at least people are paying attention. I don't know. Maybe that's not a great |
| 1:45.9 | thing. Maybe all this rancor and, you know, the huge dichotomy and polarization of politics |
| 1:53.0 | isn't very productive, but, you know, at least people are paying attention. So the podcast |
| 1:58.7 | pretty much centers around politics totally. So if you're not a political person, |
| 2:04.1 | you probably won't love this one. But I still encourage you to listen to it because I think |
| 2:09.1 | it's interesting. And at the end there, we do, I do ask Danny, you know, how he maintains or some |
| 2:15.9 | practical tips on his spiritual path and how this relates to politics |
| 2:20.1 | and kind of the approach that some of us could be taking, you know, when engaging with the world. |
| 2:25.6 | One of the things that this reminds me of is Randas. |
