Summary
Guest Chris Cathcart: "I am proud of my career in the industry trade groups, serving with people who were saying, 'We've got to find where the common ground is–with the lead environmental groups, the thought leaders. Let's see if we can find the way forward.' We were able to do that together by asking them across a table, 'What's on your mind? What is it you are trying to get done?' Having that frame of mind to say 'Yes, we can do it' has carried through for years on so many issues that we worked on."
