Empathy here, Not there | Trailer - Welcome to Empathy Here, Not There!

Hello everyone! Welcome to "Empathy Here, Not There," my new podcast. 

I'm Curtis Campogni, and I've spent years working in child welfare, workforce development, and juvenile justice, advocating for children and families. Through my professional journey and personal experiences, I've seen firsthand how empathy, or the lack thereof, can impact our lives in profound ways.

Join me as we explore the importance of empathy in various aspects of our lives, from politics to social media, leadership to family dynamics, and much more. Empathy doesn't mean agreeing with everyone; it means valuing their humanity and striving to see the world through their eyes. This podcast will challenge you to go beyond your comfort zone and see the world from different perspectives.

Tune in every Wednesday for new episodes! You can find "Empathy Here, Not There" on all major podcast platforms and follow us on social media for updates.

Let's embark on this journey together. Your thoughts and comments are welcome as we determine: Is empathy here, and not there? See you soon!

What is Empathy here, Not there ?

Welcome to Empathy Here, Not There, the podcast dedicated to exploring the profound impact of empathy in various aspects of our lives. I'm your host, Curtis Campogni, and I'm thrilled to embark on this journey with you.

Why This Podcast?

After a pivotal moment following a keynote speech on empathy, I realized how easy it is to talk about empathy but much harder to practice it consistently, especially in our personal moments of frustration and conflict. This podcast was born from that realization and aims to bridge the gap between understanding empathy and living it.

What You'll Discover

In each episode, we dive into different contexts where empathy plays a crucial role:

Empathy in Politics: How empathy can bridge ideological divides and foster constructive political discourse.

Family Dynamics: Improving relationships and communication within the family.

Friendships: Strengthening bonds and deepening connections through empathy.

Leadership: The impact of empathetic leadership on workplace culture and productivity.

Workplace Relationships: Building a supportive work culture and enhancing teamwork.

Social Media: Navigating online interactions with empathy.

Professions: The role of empathy in healthcare, education, and other fields.
