We Don’t Avoid the Elephant in the Room,

Finding Common Ground isn’t your typical platform. We don’t divide—we invite. We make space for people who may not agree with us (yet) because change doesn't happen when we stay comfortable and keep preaching to the choir. It starts when we listen with curiosity, not judgment.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or angry about politics, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. This is a space where frustration turns into fuel, and ideas are sharpened through open, respectful conversation. We welcome lively debate, honest questions, and yes—even disagreement—because that’s where growth happens.

Our platform teaches people how to: find the opening and plant seeds with unexpected allies. We then cultivate the areas where there is common ground. Because that is how we grow lasting solutions—not from one side, but from the overlap of values and lived experiences. And when skeptics become collaborators, those solutions become unstoppable.

And when we uncover something that works? We don’t gatekeep—we share it. You’ll walk away with blueprints, tools, and the confidence to make change in your own backyard.

Co-hosts Heather Burroughs and Steve Gonyea host unfiltered, respectful conversations that move past surface-level agreement and get to the heart of what really matters.

“Our goal is not to persuade, but instead understand—and when we uncover the parts where our values overlap, we realize that common ground is the key ingredient to real change.”

If you’re tired of the same old advocacy playbook, welcome. This is the place where we changing the way it’s done!
