## Resource

On a new edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the recent protest of Jonathan Haidt's commencement address at New York University. Robert and Mick discuss the students' objections, how they missed the actual purpose of Haidt's speech, and why it is flawed to evaluate a message based on our opinion of the messenger, rather than the merits of what they are saying.
