Finding Common Ground: A Conservative's Unexpected Ally

My friends, our first advertising salesperson was a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat.

It’s true. 

When I first spoke with Shauna about our sales position, she asked if her political views mattered. 

I asked, “Can you sell ads?” She said yes, and that was my only concern.

Initially, Shauna tried to start political fights with me, but I never took the bait. I let her speak freely without responding. 

One day, she asked my opinion on an issue, and we discovered a lot of common ground without sacrificing a single conservative principle. 

Shauna later said, “Todd, I could never support a conservative Republican. But I could support you.” 

But that’s not true. She just knew me.  

And it still makes me wonder how many other Shauna’s are out there.
