The Platinum Rule
In this episode of Conversations with Thomas, we explore a powerful shift in how we relate to one another: from the Golden Rule to the Platinum Rule—"Treat others the way they want to be treated."
Thomas Kevin Dolan invites you into a soulful conversation blending science, story, and spirit. You'll hear insights from psychology, queer wisdom, and personal healing journeys—including a tender story from his book Little Fag: A Story of Self-Acceptance and Healing—that reveal how the Platinum Rule creates deeper, more compassionate connections.
With a practical practice called The Platinum Swap, Thomas offers a tangible way to embody this heart-led principle in your everyday relationships. Whether with loved ones, chosen family, or even yourself, this episode is a reminder that true love begins with listening.
What You’ll Learn:
• The difference between the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule—and why it matters
• How empathy and interpersonal neurobiology deepen connection
• Ways queer communities model expansive, attuned love
• A story of relational healing through the Platinum Rule
• A simple 10-minute practice to strengthen any relationship
• How to love others (and yourself) with more nuance, care, and curiosity
Who It’s Perfect For:
• Heart-centered humans looking to deepen their relationships
• Coaches, therapists, and helpers who value attuned connection
