Scarlett McCabe & Lewis Iwu: The power of debating & disagreeing

The world seems more divided than ever before. 

But is it actually or are we simply shying away from debating and leaning into disagreeing with each other? 

This is exactly what we’ll explore in today’s episode – the power of debating and the benefits of disagreeing, in business and beyond. 

To help us unpack this important topic, we’re joined by Scarlett McCabe, Co-Founder and CEO of Debate Mate and Lewis Iwu, debate champion, author of ‘Words that Win’ and Co-Founder and CEO of Purpose Union.
