Season 3, Episode 4: Love Without Borders: Confucius, Compassion, and the VP’s Take on Concentric Circles
The Vice President recently invoked the theory of concentric circles, but his take came with an “and then” hierarchy of compassion. In this episode, Karen Auld breaks down what Confucius actually taught, why love isn’t a checklist, and how it all ties back to the four tenets of an Imperfect Advocate. With humor (yes, there’s a Dude, Where’s My Car? reference), insight, and a reminder that love is a renewable resource, this episode is all about expanding our circles—no “and then” required.
