| 0:00.0 | Ted Audio Collective. I believe in rethinking ideas we've taken for granted to learn how to live better. |
| 0:14.1 | In my new podcast, Rethinking, I ask today's greatest minds, how they think, and what assumptions |
| 0:20.1 | we should all reconsider. Listen to rethinking wherever you get your |
