HIGHLIGHTS 

"I think this episode has a chance of maybe getting us into trouble... But it is a conversation that entrepreneurs everywhere are having but almost nobody's having it in public and out loud because everybody's afraid of the same thing which is getting canceled.

"So you're going to take your views in this department that is responsible for handling this? And then what's the process for determining what is the company's view?"

"So, you know, we're going to act in service of the greater mission... let's focus on what unites us, what unites us, not what divides us."
