In this episode we discuss the following:

• Silence is a learned behavior. We’re endlessly influenced by culture and society, so it’s important to question assumptions, and ask ourselves: In what ways do we self-censor and in what ways do we silence others?
• Just as there is no one best time zone, there is no one best way to speak, to look, to act.
• We should always seek out data, but remember that it’s not definitive.
