The speakers delve into the concept of power and its different manifestations, referencing 'The Right Use of Power' book. They discuss the absence of moral guidance in technology leaders and the rejection of equity efforts stemming from a belief in meritocracy. Additionally, they explore the harmful impact of the pervasive feeling of not being enough, and the importance of belonging for a fulfilled life.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to foster a more compassionate and equitable world.
