And just in the last week, as I was talking to Bill Ury of Harvard about our concerns about what's going on in our country and in the world, uh, Tom Friedman wrote an article in The New York Times, and he hit it on the nail, in my opinion.
Bob ChapmanGUEST
He's, he's...
Bob ChapmanGUEST
He basically said, you know, we basically have a poverty of dignity.
Bob ChapmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Kevin MillerHOST
A joint effort.
Kevin MillerHOST
So I was, a couple weeks ago, I had the privilege of spending some time with Bill Ury.
Kevin MillerHOST
I don't know if you know William Ury.
Kevin MillerHOST
He's Harvard's co-founder of their program on negotiations.
Katy AnthesGUEST
So it's not in the education kind of ecosystem, but I think it's highly relevant to what we do in the education ecosystem.
Katy AnthesGUEST
And that's a book called Possible by William Ury, U-R-Y.
Katy AnthesGUEST
And its subtitle is How We Survive and Thrive in an Age of Conflict.
Katy AnthesGUEST

Chris VossGUEST

Harsha BoralessaHOST
Now, the first is William Ury, who's obviously a negotiation expert and the author of Getting to Yes.
Harsha BoralessaHOST
And actually...
Harsha BoralessaHOST
I hadn't thought about this, but our conversation has almost flowed to this because it really is all about influencing how to change the other person's viewpoint.
Harsha BoralessaHOST
So rather than me speculate, over to
Anne SugarGUEST
you.
Anne SugarGUEST
I will give you two really interesting points in the conversation that I had with William Ury.
Anne SugarGUEST
