"You land in a place that's more challenging than you expected, you don't have the sense of belonging that you normally would think you'd have in that kind of environment. And I just wanna say, if we don't have a strong sense of connection in a group, we do feel threatened."

Karen & Paul discuss the cognitive and emotional costs of differences in collaborative spaces. Through Paul's experience in an improv workshop where he felt like an outsider due to age and familiarity gaps, they explore how such differences require extra effort and awareness.
