In this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, Topaz Adizes, an Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and author of "12 Questions for Love," shares his insights on the transformative power of asking better questions about the love we feel for another person. He emphasizes that the essence of meaningful conversations lies in the answers we seek and the questions we pose.

Topaz explains that he has facilitated over 1,200 conversations through his project, The And, where participants interview each other using carefully crafted questions. He believes that the right questions can illuminate a shared humanity and deepen connections. Individuals can shift their perspectives and foster more profound emotional articulations by focusing on the questions rather than the answers.
