Thank you for joining us, and you get the first elevator pitch on politics and Bowen theory.

Well, um, you know, Bowen theory has helped me to approach...

Uh, and when we talk, when I talk about politics in this context, I'm talking about it from community organizing and working with, uh, elected officials to try to get various policies implemented, specifically around public safety.

And so Bowen theory has helped me in, uh, many ways, but I just mention two of them for, uh, time's sake.

Number one, it has really helped me to become clear about my guiding principles.

Uh, this really does help to guide how I show up in all my interactions, especially, uh, when having difficult community conversations or dealing with, uh, elected officials who have their own agenda that you have to kinda navigate around.

So having those guiding principles and being clear about them really does help me to show up consistently, uh, in these conversations.

Mm-hmm.
