Season 2 is all about reinvention, and you could say that today’s guest, Meg Myers Morgan, wrote the book on how to do it — through negotiation and self-reflection.
Then, City Editor Morgan Phillips takes fitness resolutions to new heights on today’s edition of What the What?!
So let’s talk, Tulsa.
Today's episode is brought to you by CVCaudit.com, presenting the 2019 TulsaPeople Readership Survey.
That’s the voice of Meg Myers Morgan, assistant professor at OU-Tulsa and coordinator of the school’s Master of Public Administration program, talking about her new book, “Everything is Negotiable: The Five Tactics to Get What You Want in Life, Love and Work.”
A New Year brings with it promises of new beginnings. Of a new you. And while we all want 2019 to be the year when we become richer, prettier, skinnier, more organized versions of ourselves, statistically very few of us will stick with our goals. If we even turned our amorphous wishes into concrete goals in the first place. And maybe that’s because we’re all so focused on the end goal, how wonderful our lives will be once we achieve this one thing, that we lose sight of the process it takes to get there. But that’s what I love about Meg’s new book, “Everything is Negotiable,” which might be the one book you need to negotiate your way to a better life. The book represents a reinvention or Meg’s writing career, as she shifted from the humorous, slice-of-life essays in her first book “Harebrained,” to the more prescriptive approach of her follow-up.
The five tactics in Meg’s book are: choosing, wanting, owning, giving and getting. I sat down with her in the studio to figure out how to use these tactics to make — and keep — New Year’s resolutions.

May 2019 bring you many happy pivots, Tulsa.
