When I saw a campaign sign in town that read “Common Sense and Local Values,” it made me pause. What does common sense actually mean — and is it truly something we all share?

In this episode, I explore the idea of common sense through the lens of lived experience, education, and critical thinking. We’ll discuss how judgment is developed, why shared experience isn’t always universal, and how language can sound strong while remaining undefined.

This is a thoughtful, steady conversation about leadership, representation, and the importance of asking better questions.

Grab your tea and let’s go deeper than the slogan.
