With empathy comes connection.
Mick Sullivan
Mick Sullivan wears many hats and has many passions. He is the creator and host of The Past and The Curious, a delightful and well known history podcast for kids and families. He is also the Curator of Guest Experience at The Frazier History Museum and the chair of Kids Listen, an international children’s audio education advocacy group. But if you ask him, he is first and foremost a musician, having played in several successful jazz and folk bands. This life of music mixed with his deep appreciation for history is at the foundation of the conversation and the sense that so much of the disconnect in modern life can be “bridged” through empathy.
