Lubetzky: Fear of cancellation and suppressed disagreement harms businesses
“Stagnating inability for people to debate with one another. It's bad for business too. If people are scared to express their opinions because they're going to be canceled or they can't build a good business if they're not going to be able to disagree.”
Lubetzky: Judgmental Environments Drive Left and Right to Ideological Extremes
“Our inability to create a, an environment where we're more forgiving and less judgmental starts creating an environment of intimidation where everybody on the left and the right start moving to the extremes, and that lack of diversity of thought.”
A social mission cannot drive sales without product quality and value

Nine in ten consumers who sampled KIND became repeat buyers
“What we found out, guy, is that anytime somebody tried a kind bar, nine out of 10 would fall in love with the brand, would tell others about it, and within a month it would pay for itself because they would start buying the product.”
