Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! It’s a great moment to reflect on everything that makes this country so special. And maybe have a hot dog or two.

But this milestone also comes at a moment where our country feels more divided than ever. So today, David sits down with Joe Manchin, the former Governor and Senator of West Virginia. His independent political stance gave him a unique opportunity to find common ground in Washington, even among people with deep disagreements.

Every leader needs to get people with different perspectives aligned and working together. And in this conversation, Joe shows you how to lead in a divided room – and why that skill matters more than ever.

This episode is for you if:

• You work in a polarized space where progress feels impossible
• You regularly face big, complex decisions
• You struggle to work with people who disagree with you
• You’re frustrated by party politics
