  • 85 – When We can’t Agree on Anything (P2)
    Apr 17 2026

    In today’s episode, Peter and Sonny continue our series on Communications by delving into when communications are no longer effective. They argue that this starts with the government. It seems like it’s starting in the 80s; we are unable to agree on a unified mission, and we can’t agree on basic issues like airport security or funding law enforcement.


    They introduce our 2025 Year in Success Report, which was recently published. If you are interested in receiving a digital copy, you can email us at
