Listen Here: Itunes | Spotify | Overcast
My guest today is Dipan Patel (@dipanpatel). He is the Director of Solutions Consulting at UserTesting, a company that builds outstanding customer experiences for their clients.
Outside of his day job, Dipan is interested in how national service might positively impact our culture. He draws his opinions from experiences growing up as part of an Indian family in San Diego, attending boarding school in India, and spending several months before college volunteering at a rural school in India.
Through these experiences, Dipan learned the uniting value of being immersed in unique cultures. In this episode, he shares his thoughts on why the United States is currently experiencing disunity and how national service may help solve that problem.
The purpose of this podcast series is to talk through problems facing the United States and explore the ways in which national service may solve those problems. The more feedback, the better. If you have any questions, comments, or follow-ups to this conversation, please reach out!
