Listen below:
Tune in weekdays for 10-min daily news roundups:

So today, as many of us continue to celebrate America’s independence, we wanted to go back and re-listen to a conversation we shared late last year with an expert who has done the research – and found we all carry biases that may contribute to our country’s current polarization. Our guest is breaking down the biases that keep us fractured and offering possible solutions we can implement in our own lives.
