Quotes

• "By understanding that this is what my biases are and this is what your biases are, we can depersonalize it. I realize why you do the things you do. And I realize that it's not just because you're being a jerk or it's not just because you're being difficult or anything like that. It's just that you see the world in a different way than I do, and I can start to understand the way you see the world so we can find a way to collaborate more effectively." -Mario Sikora [12:26]

• "Other times, people who are opposite from us can drive us crazy because we can't relate to where they're coming from. Or we think different things are important. But if circumstances are right, us seeing things in opposite ways tends to help us come together to solve a problem from different directions. You have something that I don't, I have something that you don't. And we can work together." -Nick Portillo [13:59]
