Depolarization through Courageous Citizenship with Braver Angels CEO Maury Giles

In a time of deepening political division, how do we lead with both conviction and humility? In this episode of Daring Dialogues — part of Stanford GSB's Leadership for Society course — Professor Brian Lowery sits down with Maury Giles, CEO of Braver Angels, the largest nonprofit in the United States dedicated to depolarization. Maury shares how Braver Angels has grown from a single weekend experiment bringing together Trump and Clinton voters in rural Ohio to a national movement of 80,000 people across all 50 states — and what that journey has taught him about leadership, civic culture, and the courage it takes to truly listen. Together, Brian and Maury explore: What "courageous citizenship" means — and why it's the antidote to both cowardice and recklessness in public life How to facilitate productive disagreement without letting conversations collapse into labeling and attacks Why people don't choose their opinions so much as experience them — and what that means for how we engage across difference The skills, mindsets, and ground rules that make difficult conversations actually work Whether you're a student, a leader, or simply someone trying to navigate a divided world, this conversation offers both a framework and a challenge: stop trying to win, and start trying to understand. Daring Dialogues is part of the Leadership for Society curriculum at Stanford Graduate School of Business, exploring how leaders can drive meaningful change in complex, contested, and divided times.
