    • This episode is inspired by a statement made by Oklahoma State Representative Marcus McEntyre.

      "We need to trade compromise for consensus."

      A Couple of Big Ideas from this episode:

      1) "It’s all about finding the common ground around us.   A better way of saying that is RECOGNIZING the COMMON GROUND that already exists between us!"

      2) "It is a LOT easier to recognize the common ground you have WITH people when you are looking for ways to be FOR people"

      3) "People don't collaborate because they want to know who gets the credit when things go right...but they are more concerned with who has to wear the blame of the shame when something goes wrong."
