Description

Welcome to the More In Common Podcast — where curiosity meets courage. Hosted by Keith Richardson and Gerren Taylor, this show explores the human side of connection, communication, and emotional intelligence. Every week, we dive deep into real conversations that challenge assumptions, build trust, and help us all navigate complex relationships — at work, at home, and in our communities. 🎙️ From mindful parenting to leadership, political division to self-awareness — we ask the hard questions and model the tools to stay in the conversation when it matters most.

✅ New episodes every Friday

🎧 Listen in for practical insights, heartfelt stories, and a better way to be in the world — together.
