YPO × BetweenUS Forum
Talk with someone who sees it differently.
One-to-one conversations between YPO members across the political, generational, and geographic lines that usually keep us apart. Hosted, structured, and surprisingly worth your hour.
Why YPO members do this
You lead across differences every day. This sharpens the muscle.
The hardest conversations in business—and in the country —are with people who don’t share your priors. A single, well-structured conversation with one such person is one of the fastest ways to widen your perspective and your network.
BetweenUS Forum makes it effortless: we match you thoughtfully, handle scheduling, and give the conversation a shape that keeps it generous instead of combative.
How it works
Three steps to a conversation that’s actually worth having.
Tell us who you are
Pick the civic topics you care about and answer a few quick questions. Takes two minutes.
Get matched & scheduled
We pair you one-to-one with a member who sees things differently, at a time that works for you both.
Meet & reflect
Have the conversation over video, guided by a simple structure. Afterward, you each share how it went.
What a conversation looks like
Not a debate. A genuine exchange, with a little structure.
Every conversation is one-to-one, about an hour, and built around a topic you both chose. A simple guide keeps it moving—openings, turns, and a close—so no one has to play moderator. The only rules are the ones that make it work: listen to understand, assume good faith, keep it confidential.
- You both opted in. Everyone’s here to understand, not to win.
- Matched for difference on viewpoint, common ground on the topic.
- Your political lean is private—used only to make the match, never shown.
- A light structure carries the conversation so it stays generous.
Built on a proven idea
The one-to-one, across-the-divide conversation has been changing minds for years. BetweenUS Forum gives that proven format the technology it has always been missing—and the trust of the community you already belong to.
