Benjamin Taylor makes his third appearance in the Swamp and he brings some useful distinctions with him. We discuss the value and importance of understanding the positive and negative dynamics that differentiation and integration have on group dynamics and productivity. But it is not all that simple.

Jerilyn Brusseau offers evidence that one woman, with a vision to heal can change the lives of thousands of people. Her story begins with heartbreak when she learns that her brother, Dan Cheney, was shot down and killed in Vietnam just 15 days after he arrived in the country. In that moment, Jerilyn joined nearly 60,000 other American families who lost family members in a war that would last almost 20 years. Almost immediately Jerilyn understood that there were also Vietnamese families suffering equal heartache from losing loved ones. So began Peace Trees Vietnam. In our conversation, Jerilyn takes us on a good will journey from Seattle to Vietnam to heal relationships and clear over 1500 acres of more than 115,000 unexploded bombs, land mines, mortar shells and grenades and replace all that ordinance with trees of peace. But there is more. The Peace Trees Vietnam organization has facilitated the building of kindergartens, libraries and community centers. Probably more important, Jerilyn and her team have helped heal the damaged relationships between two countries through simple acts of kindness and community building. Jerilyn offers much for us to learn about what is possible when deep loss is turned into helping other people. Thanks for listening.

| Rick Torseth: A Question Answered and Moves for Leading | 30 May 2022 | 00:21:56 | |
018_Rick Torseth: A View From the Balcony #1 After a few month’s and several episodes, I’m pausing to answer the question: Why 10,000 Swamp Leaders? and 2) reflect on the mass shootings in Buffalo NY and Uvalde, Texas. I have no solutions AND I believe these events have exposed our elected Senators to be weak authority figures. The tragic events are also self-identifying many people who are choosing to raise their hand and lead without authority. In this short episode, we will highlight a few moves these people can make to mobilize the movement(s) they believe are necessary to end this epidemic of gun violence. Thanks for listening.
