Empathy is Mutually Beneficial

In this episode of Maxim EQ, Sam and I are joined by John Dykstra to explore a simple but powerful idea: Empathy is Mutually Beneficial.

Empathy has become a buzzword in recent years, but we go beyond the surface—unpacking what it really means, why it matters, and how it can impact both your relationships and your own well-being. John offers thoughtful and practical insights drawn from his unique life and work on Alaska’s remote North Slope.

📌 Note: The limited internet bandwidth in the Arctic affected John’s audio a little, but his perspective was too compelling not to share.

We hope this conversation sparks reflection—and maybe even inspires how you approach empathy in your own life.

Thanks for listening,
Mike
