Ted Audio Collective.

all these strict categorizations meant to designate what people do and why. The creatives and the production team, the managers and the engineers, the C-suite and the

regular folks.

The thing is, these binaries can create such division in places where they may not be necessary.

The whole point of an organization is to bring people together with different talents and backgrounds and expertise to solve complicated problems as a team.

The goal is to produce something useful or special or novel, but it can be so

hard to get beyond these designations, and division unfortunately is everywhere, not only in the workplace.

We have to find new ways to work together.

I'm a du-back and Ola. This is Ted Business. Our speaker today is Daniel Lubetsky.

He's the founder and CEO of Kind Snacks and is here to tell us that our increasingly polarized world is one that erodes our sense of humanity.

But what he's here to do is provide a Builders toolkit to help us reach across the divide. Then after the talk I'll discuss my

reflections on Daniel's call to action. But first, a quick break.

Everywhere we look today, we see the same picture, a world divided into us versus them left versus right

black versus white Jew versus Muslim victim versus oppressor we're being programmed to think that every issue is binary,

and our communities are increasingly infected by hate and dehumanization.

It's easy to nod, but the problem is far more entrenched

that any of us realize.

Everyone here clearly sees the problem on the other side.

But none of us see it happening to us.

By blaming the other for all of society's deals,

we abdicate our responsibility for fixing the problem

and the opportunity to work together on actual solutions.
