This chapter emphasizes the significance of fostering a builder mindset to combat toxic polarization and political deadlock, showcasing initiatives like Builders' Media and Citizen Solutions as avenues for citizens to navigate differences, propose solutions, and cultivate consensus. It underlines the importance of individuals rising above partisan divides to support builders for driving societal reforms, drawing inspiration from personal histories.

We're programmed to think every issue is binary: "us vs. them." But Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of KIND Snacks, says the real enemy isn't a person but a mindset. He introduces a new initiative that aims to bring together "builders" from around the world to replace extremism with practical problem-solving — and shows how you can join the movement. After the talk, Modupe poses critical questions on what it means to build together.
