Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

A Macguffin is a plot device that encourages people to take action

“In a movie think of a Macguffin as a plot device, it’s normally an object that everyone is pursuing in order to achieve a particular goal”

A Macguffin is a vehicle for something more important

“In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Golden ticket is the Macguffin. It’s only important because it gives the owner a chance to meet Willy Wonka”

Don’t focus on Macguffins if it takes you away from your Inclusion goals or compromises your values

“I don’t like the idea of you replacing your goal with a McMuffin, especially if the Macguffin is a credibility indicator”

Here’s some resources so you can go deeper:
