What it means
Tristan Gross joins Jonathan McMillan in an ICM Season 3 conversation about hope and its use in community work. Watch the episode for his account and its context. A guest’s perspective is not, by itself, evidence that a specific program will produce the same outcome elsewhere.

See how this idea helps with a decision
Here is an example to work through. The linked source explains the idea or guest account. The next move is ICM guidance.
- Where it shows up
- A team lifts one guest phrase from a conversation and turns it into a general treatment claim.
- A useful move
- Watch the episode in context, identify which point is Gross's field perspective, and pair it with research and local information before designing an intervention.
- What this does not prove
- An interview is a source for what a guest said, not an independent evaluation of a program.
