This week Andrew talks with renowned social scientist David Livermore. David is the author of the new book Digital, Diverse & Divided: How to Talk to Racists, Compete with Robots, and Overcome Polarization. David is an expert on cultural intelligence, a scientific model for working with people from different cultures. He is a frequent speaker and adviser to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and foreign diplomats. In this conversation, David shares how leaders, teams, and people everywhere can work through differences and accomplish ambitious goals together. This conversation is not about the complex, controversial issues that divide us. Instead, it's filled with actionable tips you can implement right away to bridge divides—in the boardroom, the classroom, or in your next conversation with a friend at the grocery store.
