Emmy-winning producer Sarah Yourgrau joins the Harbor Podcast to reveal how storytelling heals rupture, bridges divides, and reimagines the American Dream.
As founder of Common Ground Studio, Sarah shares her journey from co-hosting Returning the Favor with Mike Rowe to creating global series like Boarding Pass with Tony Hawk. She breaks down why counter-narratives and human-centered stories are essential to reducing prejudice, how indie-inspired TV models can outlast streaming wars, and why amplifying Middle America, trades, and blue-collar voices is vital for unity.
From skateboarding culture and peacebuilding in Israel/Gaza to scripted trucking dramas, Sarah shows how female-led production studios can shift culture at scale.
