Welcome to part II (of a four-part series) where Valerie and guest author and scholar Ryan Gottfredson dive deeper into how a focus on human psychological development can help individuals and organizations thrive. They discuss the progression of mind development from hyper-dependence (mind 1.0) to hyper-independence (mind 2.0), emphasizing the need for a healthier balance and the importance of reaching mind 3.0 (interdependence).

A key focus in this episode is a respectful but candid look into how these developmental stages show up in a variety of ways in the operations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The hosts discuss the prevalence of mind 1.0 and mind 2.0 characteristics within the church at multiple levels and the likely impact that unresolved collective intergenerational trauma has on the church's ability to reach its developmental potential at present. They advocate for addressing these issues to enable the church and its constituents to interact ethically with one another and with the world at large.
