Grateful Living in Conversation

Joe Primo: John Paul, it is such an incredible delight to be with you. We are grateful for you, we are grateful for your work, and we are so grateful for your presence here. It is just an honor to be with you.

John Paul Lederach: Thank you, Joe. It’s wonderful to be here. And you made my day in the last half hour, so thank you for that.

JP: Oh, well let’s make each other’s day today. You know, John Paul, I find that bios, you know, they only go half, they only tell half the story, right. They only tell a portion of a person’s work. And what I would– where I would love to begin is by hearing how your work has transformed your life and how you respond to the challenges you face on a daily basis as a result of what you learned working with communities in times of conflict and war. Can we start there?
