Before You Ask “What’s Wrong With Them?”, Listen To This

In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex break down ACE scores – Adverse Childhood Experiences – and what the research says about how childhood trauma shows up decades later in our health, our relationships, and our choices. Bill shares his own score, and makes the case for why understanding this data might be the most important thing you can do before you walk into a tough neighborhood and wonder why people are the way they are.
