In this episode we explore:

- how inventing pasta sauce and bringing 15 strangers around his dinner table literally saved his life.
- how he reaches people in transition and who feel stuck, and how his dinner table works to awaken authenticity, empathy, vulnerability, and feeling safe.
- why 7:47 is significant in empowering 11 people to work together to get everything done.
- his thoughts on the importance of diversity: speaking to the same circle will keep your message in that circle only. It’s important to reach people who reach other people.
