Cancel culture has become a significant problem in our society. It goes against the very concept of freedom of speech and stifles open dialogue and debate. As Dr. Carson rightly points out, "We have people who have become afraid to express themselves, and we're going to have to work very hard to stop that." Cancel culture not only limits our ability to express our opinions but also leads to a more coarse and divided society. Dr. Carson welcomes David Sokol, CEO of Teton Capital, and John Schnatter to talk about the ways in which we can navigate these challenging times. Together, they shed light on the pressing issues of cancel culture, the impact of DEI in the business world, and the need for strong leadership.
