Summary

No matter who they voted for, right now, a lot of people in this country would agree that things could be better. In the long term, if want thing to go well or if we want to move forward or to grow, then two, almost evenly divided, sides of the country can't remain at intellectual war. So, this year, we bring you our annual Year of Big Ideas, but with a twist. With the current state of our country, asking people about their personal goals to get rad outside didn't quite feel right. Instead, we went out the simple/utterly confounding question: How do we move forward? Today, our friends, contributors and listeners weigh in with their thoughts and goals on what we do in 2017 and in the years to come. Happy New Year!

1:05.6	good chance that a few of you have actually been living underneath a rock or in
1:10.3	cave in the last few months. Even then I think it's pretty much impossible that
1:14.6	you missed the wave of descent. Struggle. Populous uprising. Anger. Righteousness.
1:20.0	Hope, fear, despair that swept through the US in 2016. It was the year of
1:26.2	Black Lives Matter and Donald Trump, a year of heroes and villains and who
1:31.1	filled that role depended entirely on your perspective from where you came
1:36.4	from and how you think about the world. A lot of us felt like something was
1:41.0	wrong with this country just exactly what was wrong was a matter of opinion.
1:45.4	I think the one thing we can all agree on is that there was a lot of yelling. For
