Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

A Macguffin is a plot device that encourages people to take action

“In a movie think of a Macguffin as a plot device, it’s normally an object that everyone is pursuing in order to achieve a particular goal”

A Macguffin is a vehicle for something more important

“In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Golden ticket is the Macguffin. It’s only important because it gives the owner a chance to meet Willy Wonka”

Don’t focus on Macguffins if it takes you away from your Inclusion goals or compromises your values

I don’t like the idea of you replacing your goal with a McMuffin, especially if the Macguffin is a credibility indicator”
