Privilege, Crybabies & The Bootstraps Myth
March 08, 2023 19:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBPrivilege is something we all benefit from in some form or another. While it is irrefutable, as soon as we try to cast a light on aspects of our privilege (eg. White privilege, able-bodied, heterosexual, etc.), people rail, scream and gaslight. Perhaps it is in our wiring to look at things as a zero-sum game, however, progress as a society is dependent on us recognizing that rising tides truly do raise all ships.

Don't Go Numb. Stay Woke.
February 01, 2023 19:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MBWe're not wasting any time with this one. It's a little heavy, but definitely worth the listen. Progress cannot come without discomfort. So, ignoring ideas, policies and actions that create discomfort just allows more of the same to flourish.
