I had a fantastic 4-hour meeting with my favorite client today. We disagreed a lot during those 4 hours, but that isn't what made it fantastic. The best part was our ability to look at a "stupid" topic/idea/subject – the true issue – and not the person making a suggestion.

Admittedly, we all had terrible and stupid ideas, but the group was able to look at the issue at hand and come up with a creative solution – much better than any of us could have conjured independently.

Do you have people within your circle – business or personal – who you can have lively, issue-dominate, conversations with? If not, why?

Four hours, a lot of disagreement, and even more productivity. It was a fantastic meeting.
