57. Can they act as one unified collective?

Jonathan continues Unify with a question about action: how must people act as one unified collective to ignite this change? In this episode, Marianne helps him distinguish between scattered support and shared contribution, between people who simply connect him onward and those who find their own way to participate. The conversation reveals why leadership requires the courage to challenge what is, and why the first invitation may be as simple, and as profound, as asking others how the vision applies to their lives.
